Anyway, I've done what I sometimes do when writers block seems to be made of reinforced concrete. I research.
It's great, not having a deadline. Or not so great - and that's another topic.
Back on track.
A 'Galaxy Cadet' story involves military occupations. I could follow the lead of major motion picture studios, and do my research by watching M*A*S*H reruns. Or maybe be very serious and watch Apocalypse Now. Maybe that's unfair. I'm sure that some folks in the entertainment industry are able to do a little fact-checking. And that's yet another topic.
Instead, I did a Google search.
I know, "I read something on the Web" has come to mean "I have not clue and believe anything I hear." True enough, there's a lot of - somewhat alternatively-accurate assertions out there.
And there is a massive amount of reliable sources.
Like ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) - an ancient (by contemporary standards) repository of knowledge.
Here's what I found:
- "Military Career Guide: Employment and Training Opportunities in the Military."
ERIC
Available online- "Military Career Guide: Employment and Training Opportunities in the Military" (PDF)
Military Entrance Processing Command (DOD) (November 1989)
- "Military Career Guide: Employment and Training Opportunities in the Military" (PDF)
I've gotten most of what I wanted from it - and figured I'd pass the links along.
