Military Career Events
There are a number of minor events which can result in promotions and job performance increases. Along the way, you'll have multiple opportunities to jump to different career tracks. Military is a springboard for other careers, just as in in life. However, assuming you stick with your guns and rise to the top, you will not see many events. Astronauts only get one event with a choice: either break rank and meet a cute reporter or brush off the reporter. You should always brush them off, because trying to get their phone number will result in your Sim having an embarassed moodlet.
Good Traits for The Sims 3's Military Career Track
Athletic
Even latrine cleaners need a little athletic skill. This is used heavily throughout the career track. Take athletics to help your Sim raise the skill faster.
Handy
Handiness will appear early in the career track, so military men and women will do well with this trait. It will make the skill go up faster, and upgrading their home will be a cinch because they'll never fail.
