Start by researching the different branches of the military and their requirements for enlistment. Consider what you would like to specialize in, if any, and research the job descriptions associated with that field. 2 Make sure you have good physical health and fitness, as many jobs in the military require certain levels of strength and endurance. 3 Take classes such as military history, leadership, and communication to gain an understanding of how the military works. 4 Practice your interview skills and create a portfolio of your achievements and accomplishments. 5 Research potential scholarships or grants available to help pay for college. 6 Join organizations related to the military such as the ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) or VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars). 7 Talk to people who are currently enlisted in the military and get their perspectives on life in the armed forces.
