I have not joined or do not think i will join the armed forces in the future, but i have done my share in research when i was considering joining talking to recruiters.
In my research i think the best branch suited for me would be the Navy. IMO
They have a great medical advancement program that would be the only reason i would join.
I also like being out in the ocean.

Anyway don't join the Navy. The Coast Guard is better in everyway and you STILL get to spend time out on the ocean...just not 8 months at a fucking time.
And you get to fish
It's agreed upon that the Air Force has the highest standard of living and the nicest stuff.
The Army is right for me, the people are what makes it for me..the Marines are mostly made up of egotistical cocky fucks, the Army has the integrity and respect more so.
I had my bachelors and know that your MOS isn't going to get you a better job in your own field in civvie life, and wanted to carry a rifle and jump out of a plane.
Took an Airborne contract got out of basic as a Corporal, served with the 82nd division for 5 years, exited as SSG. It's what I wanted to do, so I did it. You have to take your fun with the shit. And there is a LOT of shit, in any branch.
My Grandfather served as a Gunner in the Navy in Korea, and I knew others in the Navy, I didn't want to be stuck on a ship for 8 months at a time. Fuck that shit. I'll take my wet, cold, dirty foxhole will bullets and bombs over that sort of confinement any day.
To each their own, however.
