The military has many "safe" jobs, it involves the people in support roles. You can work finance, be a cook, administrative work, work on the paperwork of the troops, etc...

If you do go to the combat arms side, you better make sure you like that kind of atmosphere. You definitely need to be an alpha male if you join the combat arms. Just be honest with yourself, if you are a go getter and motivated and like being in front; you will have the best pride being in the combat arms!
 
im thinkn about joining the military when i turn 18
but i really dont wanna get blown up or shot to death
but id like to be deployed
is there a person that like just drives the humvees around
or does the truck driver face any actual combat?
like while im driving would i be getting shot at?
and is the military police dangerous?
what would i do?
i know the infantry might be the most dangerous but i really like the idea of that.
what are the chances id die in the infantry
 
obviously the timekeeper and payroll master. youre always behind the front lines if ever there was war. heck, youll be in an airconditioned room thousands of miles away somewhere inside the pentagon.

Hello Suzuki Rider,

Actually, there are NO safe jobs in the military. You can be hurt, maimed, or killed in any job.

Every year, even, people on active duty die in accidents at stateside bases on the job. Also, people die in auto accidents when they least expect it. You just never hear of a person dying because a fork lift turned over on them in the warehouse. We lost a security policeman who drove his motorcycle into a telephone pole when he lost control. It was sad going to his memorial service in the base chapel. And, this was in Illinois.

Yes, if you join the Army or Marines your chances of deployment to a fighting zone are greater and even "expected." But, if you are in the Navy, you could have an accident on ship, even. People do get lost at sea you know. Nothing is fool proof. If you are in the Air Force there could be an accident working on an aircraft even in the states.

So, just have faith and trust in your safety training. Keeping a clear mind and attention to detail will go a long way to helping you protect your life. Goes for civilian life as well as military life.

Best wishes.
