Opportunities in education and training are available  in all branches of the Armed Forces.  All branches of the services now prefer to take high school graduates for specialized training.  Training in the armed services can range from a few weeks to a year, depending upon the field of specialization. Some of the training is related completely to military service, but much of it is applicable to jobs in civilian life.
