If you don't like what you get, roll again, and if you get 7, 8, or 9, you join the military as a regular soldier. If you get dubs, you are an officer. If you get trips, you are a general. If you don't get 7, 8, or 9, initially, you die due criminals or starvation. If you get dubs or trips to be a military leader, you may still die an early death if your dubs or trips number includes 4, 5, or 6. Think carefully before joining the military.
