<p>Some people want to be infantry. They want to put bullets through the skulls of America’s enemies. They enjoy combat, as it’s obviously something that is very exciting when the bullets do start flying.</p>
<p>You cannot be guaranteed something like a role as a fighter pilot - that is up to you. When you go to flight school if you graduate at the top of your class you get to pick what you want to do. So, in a sense there is a contract stipulation that says you can do whatever you want, you just have to make sure you put in the effort.</p>
<p>There are units that do not deploy abroad. For example, if you are analyzing surveillance received from Predators with you will be doing it in America (at least I know of one unit that does not deploy). While there is always a chance you might get sent somewhere, it’s extremely unlikely.</p>
