He was a career soldier since the age of 18 when he joined the Virginia militia to volunteer for duty during the Whiskey Rebellion in 1792. He joined the U. S. Army in 1795 and resigned his officer's commission in 1807 when he was appointed Governor of Louisiana Territory and Superintendent of Indian Affairs.

Yes. Washington served with distinction as an officer in the provincial militia during the French and Indian War.
Washington was a young officer in the Virginia Militia during the time of the French and Indian War. In fact, in come circles, he is credited with starting the French and Indian War. Still, he distinguished himself in the retreat following the attack on Braddock's Expedition. He gathered the disorganized troops under his command, brought order out of chaos, and marched them to safety while fending off harassing attacks from the Native Americans attempting to pick off the Vanguard and the Rear Guard. Afterwards, he applied for a commission as an officer in the British Regular army and was rejected. It was this that made him realize that he would never be treated as a full fledged Englishman, and that the British would treat all Americans as second class subjects of the crown. That is why, later, he was eager to strive for independence from the British Crown.
He was a junior officer in the colonial militia.
