i am still learning and am new to wicca i was wondering since we do not hurt none is it right to be in the millitary. i am asking this cause i want to join the air force but i am not sure if i am going to be on the battle grounds or working with computers (i am hoping to be working with computers). since somethings or a lot of things in the air force are computer guided is or would it be ok to join???

The only rules you need to obey are those of your morals. Wicca is flawed, your morals should not be.

There is no right or wrong in life at all.

Especially there is no fixed set of rules which applies to everyone. Even in Wicca, there are different systems. So there is no "We should do this that way, am I still allowed to do this or that?" It's only "I want to hurt none, but also work in military, how do I solve this cognitive dissonance?"

Also, when making this choice, please remember that all members of the military are trained to do all jobs. My husband is a computer guy for the army, but he still has to do patrols, guard duty, and can be sent where ever the army wants to send him to do whatever job they need done. If you really cannot reconcile your morals with the thought of being a soldier, the military might not be the place for you.
