Ultimate Military Career
PLEASE NOTE: You WILL need the newest Neia Career Commons file (included in download) also!
NO expansion or game pack skills required for advancement so… YAY!
Correction: ONE pack recommended but not required. The Herbalism skill required in all Basic Training levels came with Outdoor Retreat. Outdoor Retreat is NOT required for the career to work, you will simply need to use the cheat provided at the bottom of the page to advance to the next level.
Also, just as an FYI (because I thought it was a bug and was about to completely embarrass myself on Neia’s forum)
as of the last patch, EA removed the “ideal mood” for rabbit hole careers.
Oh… You knew that already… Soooo… It was just me? Okay then…. Carry on.
This has been requested multiple times by a few people. There are also a couple of Sims 4 military careers (including one by Neia, eep RESPECT!) and Sims 3 remakes out there. I highly recommend you search them out and see which one you’d like to have or have them all! So, why another one? Well, people asked for it, even when I pointed them to other ones. Also, my grandfather was a retired Navy veteran from WWII and my father served in the Army in Korea. I have an abiding respect for people who give up their time, sometimes life and personal safety to protect their country and others. I simply wanted to honor them in my own way.
Ultimate Military has five paths (one for each branch of the military) and a minimum of 18 levels. It has almost all the actual ranks in each branch of the service. Senior enlisted ranks are skipped by a side trip to military college (which is actually possible). The career ranks and duties were thoroughly researched, but pay levels are mostly based on the Sims 3 military career. Like the actual military, all pay levels are the same for equivalent ranks in each branch.
Oh! One last thing. Military CC is RIDICULOUSLY hard to find. I added links to what I found below in case anyone wants.
So, with all of that out of the way… head on down to your local recruitment office. It’s time for…
Ultimate Military Career
The foundational strength of the Department of Defense is the men and women who serve our country and protect our freedoms. Your military is an all-volunteer force. They are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. This is your chance to… imagine being one of them.

Lance Corporal
The rank of Lance Corporal (LCpl) was first used by the Marines in the Indian Wars of the 1830s. Lance Corporal is your next step in becoming an integral part of the Marine Corps. Lance Corporals are expected continue to apply their technical training, in addition to learning and developing leadership skills. Unlike the ranks of PFC and LCpl, to be worthy of the title “Non-Commissioned Officer” you must demonstrate that you are capable of meeting the demands of the next higher grade by meeting both basic eligibility requirements and competing in a Marine Corps-wide Composite Score competition, which is intended to promote the best qualified candidates.

Corporal
Corporal (E-4) is the most junior of the non-commissioned officer NCO ranks. However, that does not lessen the authority or responsibility the rank carries. Corporals are required to exercise an ever-increasing degree of maturity, leadership, and professionalism. To a large extent, accomplishment of the ultimate mission — success in battle — depends on the Cpl’s development as a small unit leader and his or her professional abilities. Corporal’s demonstrate that they are worthy of being “NCOs.” However, to move up to Sergeant they must prove that they are capable of meeting the increased demands of the next higher grade by meeting both basic eligibility requirements and competing in a Marine Corps-wide Composite Score competition, intended to promote only the best qualified candidates.

Sergeant
The Marine Corps rank of Sergeant (E-5) closely parallels that of the Corporal in duties and responsibilities. In fact, the basic duties and responsibilities of all the non-commissioned officer (NCO) ranks never change. The major difference between the sergeant and the corporal is that the sergeant is in daily contact with larger numbers of Marines and generally has more equipment and other property to maintain. Marine Corps Sergeants are required to exercise an ever-increasing degree of maturity, leadership, and professionalism. To a large extent, accomplishment of the ultimate mission — success in battle — depends on the Sergeants leadership and professional abilities.

United States Naval Academy
Your maturity, leadership and professionalism have not gone unnoticed. You’ve been selected as officer material and recommended to the United States Naval Academy! USNA is a four-year coeducational federal service academy adjacent to Annapolis, Maryland. The entire campus (known to insiders as “the Yard”) is a National Historic Landmark. Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as midshipmen. Graduates are usually commissioned as ensigns in the Navy. But 5-10% (the few, the proud…) become Marine officers! When your fellow Navy students razz you about being under the organization of the Navy, look ‘em right in the eye and say, “Sure, the Marine Corps is part of the Department of the Navy: The Men’s Department.”
