Im in the army and have been for almost 11 years. there are ways around a combat MOS for females. First you can be an MP-Military Police, garrison could get pretty boring but when and if you get deployed MP's do a lot of jobs and actually go outside the wire. AirForce on the other hand has shorter deployments, if your looking to do something overseas and actually go outside the wire and go on convoys for a female you might look at being a photographer-Combat Camera. We had two AF females attached to our MP Platoon and went outside the wire almost every time we did for about 3 months. These are just some suggestions and might not even fit you as a person, and some of the jobs would be desk work. Believe it or not females even not allowed to be in a combat MOS are going outside the wire with their male counterparts. I am an E-6 and have been for 7 years and I have seen a lot of females doing combat roles in my two tours.
