Is massage therapy used in the Army/Air Force/Navy?

[happy]

I have been wanting to get my massage therapy license. I have also been considering joining either the Air Force or Navy. Is there any career in either of these that has to do with massage therapy? I am 24 and female. I would just like to have some type of "career". Also, I have all my prereq's out of the way if I wanted to finish my degree after I joined it would all be paid for, right?

There is one job that may use massage therapy and that is physical medicine which is a fancy name for physical therapy assistant.

The Air Force has what they call the Community College of the Air Force. CCAF. After you had your job training to the skilled level and you say you have your general education and elective classes you'd be awarded an AS in Allied Health. If you needed any additional classes they would be paid for 100% with tuition assistance.

Don't limit your job sources. Check them all out. You might see something else you're interested in. With 20 semester hours of college already you'd be promoted to( E-2 or 45 semester hours to E-3) after graduation from basic which puts you ahead of a lot of others as far as further promotions go. Good luck.
