What do you think about studying military science?
Hello Michael, That's fine. You are going to be a student at a military academy? Well, if you like "History" and learning about people, facts, places, and such then you might find military science to be the topic you could choose. Of course, when you become an adult you might find little use for "military science" as a major if you are going to be looking for a job or career that most people have. But, if you are serious about making the military a career for yourself then "military science" could be useful. But, I would also advise you to study the English language and English grammar and become better proficient in constructing your sentences and thoughts. Here is how I would have written your question: You wrote: "im about to being my recruit in a military academy, and i will have to study military science so can you give me your opinion about that area? do you think its hard studying military science?" My advice is to stop using "text" language in written English communications. It is lazy and it is difficult to understand the sender's complete thought process. "Text" language gives a weak message as to the meaning of what the sender is trying to say. I would have written: "I am about to become a student at a military academy. I would be studying "Military Science." Can you give me your opinion about that subject? Also, do you think it is difficult to study "Military Science." When you write in school or on the Internet there is no reason to "save" space. Do not abbreviate and make complete sentences without running two sentence thoughts together. Written communications is essential for people in the military services. If you become a career person in the military you will be writing many letters, logs, and other memorandums for your superiors and subordinates to read, understand, and to comply with. Best wishes, Larry Smith Senior Master Sergeant, USAF (Ret.) First Sergeant
Why did you study military history? How?
Flipping through books in elementary school, beginning in the first grade. Saw fascinating things and began reading to better understand what I was reading about. Interest can drive ability. Started off in Germany. History oozes in Europe.I was drawing the Battle of Lepanto when other kids were drawing houses with sun bursts above. I figure I was the only 10 year old in Johnson Elementary School, Columbus Georgia drawing such things. Galleys, armor, swords, cannon and shipboard fights, you’d think other kids would be interested.Despite a fascination with military history, I couldn’t imagine many jobs in the field so I didn’t pursue it. Liked that aspect of being an Army Officer. Surprisingly, not a whole lot of them are into military history and most only in a limited sense.
What is the practical value in studying military history?
Funny, isn’t it, that we study military history in school - this war was fought here, there, and when. All through school you get the dates. Maybe that is what turns everyone off on history.Other that learning about major events the details or “war history” doesn’t mean much to most people What people need to learn about “war history” is the “political history” behind it. Few Qurans have asked about “when” a certain war occurred, or of specific tactics, but there are many questions about what was behind it : Why didn’t the Soviet troops continue West after Berlin? Why did Hitler attack Russia? Why did the Italians execute Mussolini? Why did the US lose the Vietnam War.When you understand why things were done in the past you understand why things are happening now.
Which is the best military branch to study science?
The military generally does not do this. This is done by either DOD Civilians or defense contractors. When military is involved, it is usually in a supervisor role more then an actual researcher. For biology, the Army would be the best though. The Army provides all the veterinary services for all of the military. This not only includes being an actual veterinarian or vet. tech, but doing preventive health checks on water sources, food sources, monitoring insect threats at facilities and in the field and such. Air Force is going to be the best for technical engineering type things for planes and Navy of course for ships. As enlisted, your not going to be doing much of the research and design though. Either officers, DOD Civilians or contractors will do it. You may help run equipment and such. For computer, all branches have that, but the Army is going to have the most due to size alone.

How can I learn military planning and strategy?
It can certainly be learned (to a high degree) through reading. There are thousands of books that address the various strategies used by military leaders in wars across the millennia. Many countries have specialized publishers who focus solely on military affairs. They produce books that go into great (sometimes tedious) detail about what was going on during particular wars or battles.This can be supplemented by playing well-designed war games that are played at the strategic level. These games tend not to be the game console blockbusters, but come from smaller publishers. Those who plays these games tend to be pretty deep in the weeds about the minutia of warfare and often add their own historic as well as speculative content. You can find games covering everything from the Punic Wars to future wars in space.In the US, you can look for books from Stackpole Books. In the UK, you might look to Schiffer Publishing or Casemate Publishers. Be aware that because these books have limited appeal, they can be expensive.For war games, Shrapnel Games is a good place to start. The games are not expensive -- some are even free to download. The games are mostly PC-based and do not have (or require) that latest in video support. But they're deeply detailed. Most are fully tweak-able, too, so you can alter parameters to suit your needs. The games are mostly playable solo, but can also be networked or even played against an opponent via email.
