Which is the BEST branch of the MILITARY?

Hello, thanks so much for the insight. To be honest I like the fact that you don't sugar coat things. As for the go army hahahaha well to be honest i hear people tell me to not join it! but i think it's the best branch at the moment. And I think Air Borne rangers are awesome! I'm still stumped though at what site should i search. It's hard to find objective ones these days without the element of bashing.

I know my first response was a bit tongue in cheek, but I also made one especially valid point. Do you intend to be a lifer? To make the military your life's career? I ask that question (I'd say those but in effect they are the same question), because if you do or even don't, there are further considerations to take into account. If your plan is to join a branch of the Armed Forces for a tour you need to consider what applications and training you will receive that will help in your civilian life. Each branch has a few specialties that are exclusive to them, and some are cross overs with a bit more emphasis in one branch or another. If you, for instance, want to spend your career working on jet engines or airplanes or as an Air Traffic Controller, Air Force or Navy are the better choices in my estimation, and in the order listed. If you want to be a helicopter pilot, not much chance of that in the Army, although as I said there is some cross over training. If you plan on a lifetime in the military, then you need to look at advancement opportunities. After all, you won't want to be a private or an ensign for years on end. Talk with the recruiters, ask about educational opportunities, ask about availability of your spec choices, and take a trip to the local VFW and talk with some of the folks there...then ask the recruiter if he/she can direct you to anyone locally that was mustered out in the last five years or less, that you can talk with. My grandson joined the Army last year on what's called a split enlistment. He went through Basic Training last summer and in the fall returned to finish high school, and will be going for AIT when he graduates this spring. His MOS is engineer, and the Army will be sending him to college. He will do his tours as every soldier does, but his education will be finished first. After all, those engineers are needed to build bridges, air strips etc. There is a wealth of information the recruiter is required to give you, and to direct you to more...both pro and con for the branch he/she represents.

Hello thanks so much for commenting. I do agree that the Us military seems very good and honorable. But then, how do u know about these things? Do you have friends in the Us military? or did you in some time in your life join? And also, where are u from? Is there an american base nearby?
