From your avatar, I assume you are female.

Unfortunately, females cannot be in combat roles in any branch of the US Military.

Here are some links that discuss jobs in each branch of the Military in detail:

Answer 6

You have two reasonably good options these days.

You can go Air Defense Artillery.  They allow women, but there is no Al-Queda Air Force.  So it seems that the ADA units have been repurposed to infantry patrolling style roles (as have the male-only Armor units).

You can also go aviation.  The Infantry makes great use of helicopters, flying them there is the next best thing to being there.

Thanks for serving!

Answer 7

v****a is a no go, sorry babe, but the problem is males have an instinct to protect the female in the pack, and as a male I can tell you that instinct is there for me.

If a woman was in the infantry with men it would compromise the integrity of the unit.
