You seem in a hurry to do something that will take time -- no matter which road you choose. So please, I enourage you, choose looking at the whole picture, not just the here and now.

Well, I don't have any objections to serving in the military, and used to want to very much - before I got interested in computers. Computers are still my first "love", in terms of jobs, but I've got no problems serving in the military. And yes, ideally I'd be an officer. At the moment, I'm just looking for the most information.
And yes, I agree that taking the "bad job" (construction) to split the training isn't a good idea - as I'd end up hating it. And so I am considering taking a semester off school to do the better job. My main concern isn't about entering the military (career military family), but rather about making sure I end up in the right place
and complete my undergraduate degree.
The largest thing I don't understand is the whole "job school" thing. How come there were only four jobs open locally? It seems like there'd be dozens of different job school opportunities - why only a few open? And how long until more jobs open up?
