We scoured job reviews on Glassdoor.com, a site that allows employees to rate their employers and careers anonymously, to find out which jobs are the most valued in the military. Here are 12 of the top-rated careers in uniform:

---

12. Air Force Aircraft Mechanic (4.1)

The work is essentially summarized in the title. Someone has to be in charge of flying all the air force planes, and they are the ones doing it. The Air Force has a number of specific jobs that fall under this umbrella, starting at Maintenance of remotely piloted aircraft at Maintenance of air transport planes / special missions or Aircraft hydraulic systems. (The average score is 4.1.)

11. Coast Guard Storekeeper (4.1)

Access all ship or order cargo while hanging out on (mostly) ships near shore. Great. Storekeepers can go further, primarily serving icebreakers and ice cutters when not on shore. They specialize in inventory and supply. (The average score is 4.1.)

10. Marine Corps Aircraft Mechanic (4.1)

Marine Corps Aircraft Maintainers look after the fleet of helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and tilt-rotor aircraft that transport them and other Marines around the world. They acquire a lot of first-hand knowledge of aircraft and are, for the most part, immune to the worst fights. (The average score is 4.1.)

9. Air Force Intelligence Analyst (4.2)

Collect all signals, images, testimonies and other information from the field, and so think about it very hard. Of course, there is tons of paperwork and your thoughts on the news determine if other people are living or dying, so no pressure or anything. (The average score is 4.2.)

8. Coast Guard Information Systems Technician (4.2)

It’s a computer job, but with the Coast Guard. Keep computers properly plugged in and set up new networks if necessary; you might even be called upon to have all the computers in an ocean plotter work together. And a weird note about Glassdoor for this job: IT people are less likely to recommend the Coast Guard to a friend (62% vs. 88%) than Coasties as a whole reports. (The average score is 4.2.)

7. Coast Guard Operations Specialist (4.2)

Another prominent Coast Guard position, operations specialists are in responsible for helping to plan operations for the vessels and then to plot routes and allocate resources to make this possible. They can be tasked with everything from eliminating smugglers to rescues at sea. (The average score is 4.2.)

6. Navy Hospital Corpsman (4.2)

A combination of hospital nurses and field medics, Marine Corps members provide medical assistance to Sailors, Marines and others both on ships and ashore as well as in combat in the whole world. Obviously, it can cause a lot of stress but can also be very fulfilling. (The average score is 4.2.)

5. Army human resources specialist (4.2)

It’s one of the most ridiculed jobs, an “uber-POG” position that rarely sees the fight. But HR specialists seem content with their office work, keeping up with staff and making sure payroll is running smoothly. (Average the score is 4.2, vs a average of 3.4 for infantry).

4. Army Logistics Manager (4.2)

Glassdoor’s ratings for “Army Logistics Manager” cover a variety of jobs, primarily in the transportation industry. They drive trucks, plan routes and send convoys through enemy territory. So a little adventure some days, but mundane the rest of the time. A sweet life, unless we fall into another era like the rise of IEDs. Then it sucks. Horribly. (The average score is 4.2.)

3. Military officer (4.4)

“Officer” is a large tote that includes everything from people who manage door kickers to those who manage office jockeys to those who manage truck drivers. (Glassdoor has a separate “Officer” category for each branch, but the average scores all fall between 4.3 and 4.5.)

2. Army Operations Manager (4.5)

This is another category of scoring where the assessors came from different jobs, but these are the people who have made their way into an operations shop and are now in charge of planning missions and doing their job. ensuring teams have everything they need to be successful – engineers building new roads. to infantrymen killing bodies. (The average rating is 4.5.)

1. Coast Guard Machinery Technician (4.8)

Machinery technicians work on all Coast Guard motors, generators and other pumps, and they service ships from tiny rafts to cutters and icebreakers. All this work with their hands seems to make the technicians super happy. (The average rating is 4.8.)
