[QUOTE="RoadKill, post: 1359736, member: 19225"] Join the Air Force if: You want to do your four years and get the GI bill with the least amount of suffrage. They have a huge budget and I call it "Military themed college." Join the Army if: You want to make a career out of it. They have a huge budget as well and there's more opportunity to stay in long-term Join the Navy if: You're super smart and want to learn a technical skill Join The Marines if: You want to belong to a life-long brotherhood, actually qualify with a rifle at least once a year and say "I'm a Marine" for the rest of your life. They have the smallest budget and can often be issued inferior gear and have limited resources. But that's part of the creed "Improvise, adapt and overcome." I served 9 years in The US Marines. My advice to you if you want to go into The Marines; score high on your ASVAB test. If you score high, you'll get to pick a good job that will lead to a trade once you're out There's not much room as you gain rank and once you're above E-6, you may be on your way out, even if you don't want to be. If you score low on the ASVAB, you'll get a crap job and work with equally crappy people and play f**k f**k games all day and you'll be counting the days until your 4-year enlistment is up I was in the air-wing. I had a great time and deployed twice. My skills got me a tech job before my second enlistment was up. [/QUOTE]
