#COOL MILITARY LOGOS MOVIE#

Part of the Air Force's special operations force, combat controllers (and the special tactics officers who command them) get the upside of the swanky Air Force life but still live a life of guts and danger. But for the baddest of the bad, that's just part of the job. In fact, the biggest drawback to being a SEAL operator might just be that you can't talk about all the cool stuff you do. With apologies to legitimate operators like Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and Army Special Forces, SEALs are the top of the heap of the special ones. But the chosen few who graduate as Navy divers get to live a life that adolescent boys and girls (and full-grown men and women) around the world envy, spending days and nights swimming with the fishes.

Patton “a pretty good officer.” There's a reason dive school at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center in Panama City, Fla., has an attrition rate that hovers around 40 percent - it's clearly not for everybody. Saying Navy divers are tough is like calling Army Gen. This job also gets bonus points for being a unique combination of right-brain creativity and left-brain military-ness.

Combat photographers embrace this paradox, serving as eyes and ears for a world hungry for an inside look at war and those affected by it. There's an inherent contradiction with combat photographers: They preserve moments in time by gathering images and telling stories about them, but they're members of the forces who bring destruction to those moments. For the type of man or woman drawn to that life, there's no better feeling than being a member of that collection of high-speed individuals. There's no collection of individuals who better embodies the infantry way of life than the Marine infantry. Let's face it - you're not attracted to the Marine Corps in the first place without a certain ability to “embrace the suck.” And if you're going to embrace it, the best way to do it is all the way as a Marine Corps grunt. That means for three years their job is to jump out of perfectly good airplanes and land in the middle of thousands of people who are cheering for them.

Members of the Army's parachute team serve three-year tours traveling the country to airshows, major sporting events, and parachuting competitions. The job gets bonus points for being a female-friendly combat career field because Army pilots don't deploy to anywhere that doesn't have at least some infrastructure (a PX and probably Internet) in place, so you get to have a job that's cool enough to write home about but not so top-secret you can't (usually) brag to your friends. Army pilots are performing missions every day in theater and at home, blowing things up, saving lives, and winning hearts and minds.

ArmyĪrmy helicopter pilots might not have a movie like Top Gun to show off to their parents, but ask a Navy jet pilot (if you can find one) how many dogfights he's gotten in lately. Each choice takes into account quality of life, excitement level, and the unquantifiable “cool factor.” With so many jobs from which to choose, some great ones had to be cut, but each brings something unique to the career table. MOAA hereby unveils this unscientific, completely subjective list of the best jobs in the military.

Let's settle this once and (maybe) for all.
