 * Recruit
 * Buzz cuts and boot camp. I don't know but I've been told, scrubbing latrines get mighty old. Better maintain prime physical shape to advance from the trenches. Cooking and Repair skills also help you pass KP and cleanup detail to earn your stripes.

 * Elite Forces
 * Special training as a commando brings you more prestige, and as an added incentive you will be earning special hazard pay. Physical skills are important so get your body pumped up and strong.

 * Drill Instructor
 * Now that you're an experienced vet, the base commander has "volunteered" you to impart your wisdom to a squad of green, malleable recruits. Charisma is important here, as you'll need to drill fear, loyalty, and discipline into those jar-heads.
 * §400

 * Body: 2

 * Counter Intelligence
 * Tracking the enemy with the latest equipment is your whole life right now. You know enough about the enemy strategy for them to really want to kill you--so you have to stay one step ahead of them for your sake and that of your troops. Work on your mechanical skill to keep those highly sensitive machines in top working order and logic skills to interpret all the data you're downloading.

 * Flight Officer
 * Somebody has to drop those troops, deliver that cargo, and guard the air space over Sim City. There's a pay grade advance here, but earning your wings will require additional training with a flight simulator program at the base. Mechanical skill is a must and logic is not far behind.

 * Body: 4

 * Senior Officer
 * You survived your Airborne tour and made it to "the brass". You're well respected and your counsel is often sought. More logic training will make you a better strategist and charisma will improve your speeches. Work on these if you want to move on to Commander.

 * Commander
 * Your great leadership accomplishments have brought you to the post of Commander. No more dodging bullets and crawling under barbed wire. But don't get all soft and flabby because it's been whispered that you're being considered as a potential candidate for astronaut. You'll have to show exceptional mechanical and body skills to get that honor.

 * One of the highest achievements for a military lifer like yourself. Fame and fortune climb with each mission into space, and you're in the best physical shape of your life. Keep working on your skills if you want to become one of the most influential people in the country.

The Sims 3
Military is a career track in The Sims 3. This career track seems to be influenced more by an Air Force compared to other games (astronaut is highest level, several pilot titles, and a reference to the movie "Top Gun".)

Work place: Military base

How to apply: Directly at work place, Newspaper, Computer

Performance options:

Opportunities

 * Late Night Latrines
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Work overtime for 2 hours.
 * Reward: Increased relationship with coworkers.
 * Text: The latrines are overflowing! Apparently the Corps of Engineers "forgot" to drain them last week, which leaves a whole pile of mess squarely in the lap of your platoon. Luckily, you're not on duty tonight. But if you stick around, your squad mates would really, REALLY, appreciate the help.


 * Military Contracts
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Visit City Hall to complete by X time on Y day
 * Reward: Performance Increase
 * Location: City Hall
 * Text: The commanding officer of the base needs you to deliver these instructions to City Hall on the double! The business is about to build our new prototype sub-atmospheric lunar reconnaissance vehicle, but they cannot get started without these instructions! Your job performance will increase as a result of you doing your duty.


 * No Whining!
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Read Military Book "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots".
 * Reward: Boss and Performance go up.
 * Location: Return to Work to complete.
 * Text: Engines and pilots whine like milk-starved kittens and that fact simply won't change. It's time to read "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots" so you can adapt your strategy and soar in a whine-free stratospher. Aside from the obvious benefits, your relationship with your boss will improve and your job performance will increase as well.


 * The R.H.A.T Race
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Attempt the R.H.A.T before X time on Y Day.
 * Reward: High chance at raise and a job performance boost.
 * Location: Military Base
 * Text: The time for you to attempt your Really Hard Athletic Test (R.H.A.T) has come! Soldiers who pass the R.H.A.T are eligible for additional benefits, but it takes tip top morale and a great physical condition to succeed in this hairy endeavor. Go to the Military Base during your free time to take the R.H.A.T and you just might earn a raise and a job performance boost.
 * Note: You can fail this even after completing the goal. It's repeatable and will continue happening until you pass it.


 * Congratulations on the Promotion
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Invite &lt;sim&gt; to a party by X time on Y day.
 * Reward: Boosts friendship with Co-workers.
 * Location: Your House

 * Escaping the Pit
 * Received: At Work
 * Goal: Read "Getting Out of the Pit"
 * Reward: Increase job performance and relationship with Boss
 * Text: There comes a time in every soldier's life when wallowing in the pit should no longer be acceptable. For helpful hints, tips, and strategies on escaping this military training cliché, read "Getting Out of the Pit." It's sure to improve your job performance and relationship with your boss.
