The Sims Edit

Military Career Levels
1) Recruit
Buzz cuts and boot camp. I don't know but I've been told, scrubbing latrines get mighty old. Better maintain prime physical shape to advance from the trenches. Cooking and Repair skills also help you pass KP and cleanup detail to earn your stripes.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	06:00 - 12:00		0
			§250/day
2) Elite Forces
Special training as a commando brings you more prestige, and as an added incentive you will be earning special hazard pay. Physical skills are important so get your body pumped up and strong.	0	0	0
	0	0	0
	07:00 - 13:00		0
			§325/day
3) Drill Instructor
Now that you're an experienced vet, the base commander has "volunteered" you to impart your wisdom to a squad of green, malleable recruits. Charisma is important here, as you'll need to drill fear, loyalty, and discipline into those jar-heads.	0	0	0
	2	0	0
	08:00 - 14:00		0
			§400/day
4) Junior Officer
You finally gained entrance to the Officer's Club. No resting on your laurels though, you must keep your body in top physical condition if you want to advance.	0	1	2
	2	0	0
	09:00 - 15:00		0
			§450/day
5) Counter Intelligence
Tracking the enemy with the latest equipment is your whole life right now. You know enough about the enemy strategy for them to really want to kill you--so you have to stay one step ahead of them for your sake and that of your troops. Work on your mechanical skill to keep those highly sensitive machines in top working order and logic skills to interpret all the data you're downloading.	1	1	2
	4	0	0
	09:00 - 15:00		1
			§500/day
6) Flight Officer
Somebody has to drop those troops, deliver that cargo, and guard the air space over Sim City. There's a pay grade advance here, but earning your wings will require additional training with a flight simulator program at the base. Mechanical skill is a must and logic is not far behind.	1	2	4
	4	1	0
	09:00 - 15:00		3
			§550/day
7) Senior Officer
You survived your Airborne tour and made it to "the brass". You're well respected and your counsel is often sought. More logic training will make you a better strategist and charisma will improve your speeches. Work on these if you want to move on to Commander.	1	3	5
	4	3	0
	09:00 - 15:00		3
			§580/day
8) Commander
Your great leadership accomplishments have brought you to the post of Commander. No more dodging bullets and crawling under barbed wire. But don't get all soft and flabby because it's been whispered that you're being considered as a potential candidate for astronaut. You'll have to show exceptional mechanical and body skills to get that honor.	1	6	6
	4	5	0
	09:00 - 15:00		5
			§600/day
9) Astronaut
One of the highest achievements for a military lifer like yourself. Fame and fortune climb with each mission into space, and you're in the best physical shape of your life. Keep working on your skills if you want to become one of the most influential people in the country.	1	9	6
	7	6	0
	09:00 - 15:00		6
			§625/day
10) General
Your logistical genius has earned you the rank of general, the top of the top brass. Your day is filled with government officials requesting your wise counsel and a book deal for your memoirs is looking good. Is your home life as successful as your professional life?	1	10	8
	10	9	0
	09:00 - 15:00		8
			§650/day

A General will eventually change careers and become a SWAT Team Leader in the Law Enforcement career track.

The Sims 2 Edit

The career reward object is an obstacle course. It is awarded at level 4 (Junior Officer), and it enhances your ability to improve the Body skill. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Jocks are likely to work in this career.

The Sims 3Edit

Work place: Military base

How to apply: Directly at work place, Newspaper, Computer

Performance options:

Promotion Levels Edit

Level	Name	Description	Work Time	Compensation	Performance Factors	Perks (cumulative)
1	Latrine Cleaner	The recruiter might have fudged the truth a bit, because the role of the Latrine Cleaner is not satisfying, or even sanitary. Try to eke out a grin as the Lieutenant stops by to see your progress, because you might otherwise be transferred from the mess to something worse.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 2PM	Pay §40/hour Promotional Bonus None Pension §	Skills 3 Athletic Other Mood	None
2	Mess Hall Server	Out of one mess and into another! Swap out your biohazard gear for a hairnet and give the troops their rations. Start hitting the weight bench so that you can flash your biceps for the Lieutenant when he comes by for his mush—the military is always looking for in-shape individuals!	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 3PM	Pay §44/hour Promotional Bonus §480 Pension §	Skills 5 Athletic Other Mood
3	Grunt	Thanks to your hard work the military has found a new role for you. Head out to the training fields and give us fifty, grunt! We never know when the General will come by for inspections, so work hard, keep your uniform clean, and practice your parade drills!	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 3PM	Pay §49/hour Promotional Bonus §528 Pension §	Skills 6 Athletic, 3 Handiness Other Mood
4	Squad Leader	As a Squad Leader, you’ll start drawing salutes from the underlings. It also means your superiors expect more out of you and your squad. Train hard, inspire the troops, and make sure your superiors know your name when promotion time comes around.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 2PM	Pay §94/hour Promotional Bonus §588 Pension §	Skills 7 Athletic, 5 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
5	Flight Officer	Officer status brings new stripes and new responsibilities. The mechanics down in the hangars will need you to know how to handle a wrench, whereas the brass up top still want you in tip-top shape. You just might be writing checks your body can’t cash, Flight Officer.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 2PM	Pay §108/hour Promotional Bonus §1,128 Pension §	Skills 8 Athletic, 6 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
6	Wingman/ Wingwoman	Do your duty and the military will stand by you, but that’s easier said than done. You have a loaner aircraft under your command that no average Sim can fly, and a superior officer that needs your support. Never, ever, leave your Wingman.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 1PM	Pay §145/hour Promotional Bonus §1,296 Pension §{{{pension}}}	Skills 9 Athletic, 7 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
7	Fighter Pilot	The extensive training has paid off and you’ve been rewarded with top-of-the-line jet, your name on its side, and your own Wingman to look after you. The military life is getting more exciting every day, but with that excitement comes danger and the unknown. Watch your six up there!	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 1PM	Pay §167/hour Promotional Bonus §1,740 Pension §	Skills 9 Athletic, 8 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
8	Squadron Leader	The entire squadron looks up to you, respects your judgment, and trusts you to bring them home safely. You’ve been promoted to Squadron Leader in the hopes you’ll continue this work, improve efficiency, and turn the men and women of Alpha Dingo Squadron into the best in the world.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 1PM	Pay §192/hour Promotional Bonus §2,004 Pension §	Skills 10 Athletic, 9 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
9	Top Gun	You can execute the Immelman Turn and barrel roll better than any of the plots in the squadron. In fact, there isn’t a maneuver you cannot execute. The brass want to bring you in as a Top Gun instructor to spread the knowledge, impress the public with demonstrations, and spread your wings for the good of the people.	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 12PM	Pay §265/hour Promotional Bonus §2,304 Pension §	Skills 10 Athletic, 10 Handiness Other Mood, Boss
10	Astronaut	Without Peer [Sim Name] is in charge. The space race is on and you’re the top contender. You’re the best, the brightest, and the only Sim who can lead our great society to the unknown depths of space. Strap yourself in to the rocket and prepare for 25 Gs of ripping fun. You’re a hero!	Days Off S M T W T F S Hours 7AM to 1AM	Pay §334/hour Promotional Bonus §3,180 Pension §	Skills 10 Athletic, 10 Handiness Other Mood, Boss

Opportunities Edit

Late Night Latrines

Received: At Work

Goal: Work overtime for 2 hours.

Reward: Increased relationship with coworkers.

Text: The latrines are overflowing! Apparently the Corps of Engineers "forgot" to drain them last week, which leaves a whole pile of mess squarely in the lap of your platoon. Luckily, you're not on duty tonight. But if you stick around, your squad mates would really, REALLY, appreciate the help.

Military Contracts

Received: At Work

Goal: Visit City Hall to complete by X time on Y day

Reward: Performance Increase

Location: City Hall

Text: The commanding officer of the base needs you to deliver these instructions to City Hall on the double! The business is about to build our new prototype sub-atmospheric lunar reconnaissance vehicle, but they cannot get started without these instructions! Your job performance will increase as a result of you doing your duty.

No Whining!

Received: At Work

Goal: Read Military Book "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots".

Reward: Boss and Performance go up.

Location: Return to Work to complete.

Text: Engines and pilots whine like milk-starved kittens and that fact simply won't change. It's time to read "Dealing with Whining Engines and Pilots" so you can adapt your strategy and soar in a whine-free stratospher. Aside from the obvious benefits, your relationship with your boss will improve and your job performance will increase as well.

The R.H.A.T Race

Received: At Work

Goal: Attempt the R.H.A.T before X time on Y Day.

Reward: High chance at raise and a job performance boost.

Location: Military Base

Text: The time for you to attempt your Really Hard Athletic Test (R.H.A.T) has come! Soldiers who pass the R.H.A.T are eligible for additional benefits, but it takes tip top morale and a great physical condition to succeed in this hairy endeavor. Go to the Military Base during your free time to take the R.H.A.T and you just might earn a raise and a job performance boost.

Note: You can fail this even after completing the goal. It's repeatable and will continue happening until you pass it.

Congratulations on the Promotion

Received: At Work

Goal: Invite <sim> to a party by X time on Y day.

Reward: Boosts friendship with Co-workers.

Location: Your House

Text: A peer of yours, <Sim>, was recently promoted. The other members of the squad think it is only fitting that you throw a party for <Sim> in the near future to celebrate the accomplishment. It'll be a huge boost for squad morale and you'll really look great in the eyes of the squad.

Escaping the Pit

Received: At Work

Goal: Read "Getting Out of the Pit"

Reward: Increase job performance and relationship with Boss

Text: There comes a time in every soldier's life when wallowing in the pit should no longer be acceptable. For helpful hints, tips, and strategies on escaping this military training cliché, read "Getting Out of the Pit." It's sure to improve your job performance and relationship with your boss.
