What's the coolest job in the military?

Fire Support Specialist/Forward Observer; death from above!

Pilot. To the uninitiated being a pilot still holds some of the daredevil, romantic mystique of the early 20th Century. Beside that you get to fly airplanes and get paid to do it.

Field Radio Operator! You have the ability to help your fellow Marines with the Radio. Additionally, you are in the loop as to what the overall situation is.

I have always said that are only 2 jobs in the Army, Infantry and support for the Infantry!

Infantry is where it's at, however for "high speed" jobs, I'd have to say Rangers or MSOB.

Definitely Course Manager for Force Protection at ATGMIDPAC. But I always loved being a Boatswains Mate and making Ship's Bosun was a dream come true. Of course I would be wrong not to mention my CPO INITIATIONS and yes we still had one then!!

Every Job Is The Coolest!

Whatever job you enjoy doing.

Not everyone can be SOF and not everyone should. It takes people who love their job in any capacity.

Drill Sergeant/instructor. Absolutely - hands down the best job. That DS/DI is forging tomorrow's Army/USMC and has the world's toughest job doing so. One mark of the DS/DI is this: how many of us forget where we went to elementary school? How many have forgotten the name of their DS/DI? Case closed

Obviously, Armor Crewman on the M1A2. Special Forces are all well and good, but what beats riding into battle at 45 mph on 72 tons of hate and discontent, armed with three machine guns (two of which are absurdly accurate) and a 120mm cannon capable of reaching out and touching the enemy two miles away?
