What is the best branch of the military to join if I do not want a boring 9 to 5 desk job. I also plan on making the military a career? Do you have any specific MOS you would recommend? Please provide details below and would love to hear your feedback. Here are some of my own thoughts.
Of the four branches, each has good and bad qualities
Marines – not the smartest branch, and most go to combat. If you want to see combat then the Marines is the way to go.
Air Force – lazy and well paid. These guys get good duty stations, dont work hard and get paid well. They don’t promote fast so that’s the downside.
Army – really big, goes to combat, but I would say they are the worst of all. Poor leadership and terrible living conditions.
Navy – Go on ships, but you see the world. Many other duty stations all over the world. If you really want to travel then this is the best. Advancement is not too hard, and pay is alright. Going special forces in the Navy is the smartest choice. Extra pay, combat and you will be the celebrity of the navy.
I’d say the Navy is the best branch, if I am to be lazy and paid well but not advance fast then Air force (chair force) is the way to go.
Im currentl 14 years old and have drempth of going into the military for all my life. Almost my whole family has bin in the Army and am certain i will go into the military. I am a very athletic person and have bin playing sports for around 9-10 years now. Ive been working out now for around 2 years now in hopes to be somewhate prepaired for basic. I am in the high honor roll for my class and try hard in school everyday. But, i have a delema. My family wants me to join the Army like them (which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that)but i want to be in some type of special forces and want to know which branch is best for me and my special forces wants. From my research the Army looks like the way to go, but i just wanted to make sure. If anyone has any advice i would love to here it, thanks.
Oka I read ppl comments but which one is the one I Dnt have to fight in get to see my family some and get good benefits n on top of that college I want to get my degree in it, so I can come out bein a police officer after I retire I’m a hands on person. Plz comment n tell me what one I should go to…
Jennifer… In the Army there is MP(31B) Basically military police. What Im probably going to do is work with the MP(31B) But with the K-9s. I have no clue if the marines can offer that but its worth looking up. Good luck =)
This is to all you people who say Navy Seals, Delta Force, Army Rangers are the best branch. For one, non of these are branches. The best branch all around is the Marine Corps. I say this because no matter what your job is in the Marine Corps your a rifleman first. You can make a platoon of all MOS’ in the Corps and they will be very effctive in combat. If you did the same in the Air Force, Navy, or Army it would not end very well. The biggest reason for this is their leadership. Marine Corps leadership is unmatched by any other service. If you have ever been to an Air Force base, Navy port, or Army Base just look around, you will see this to be true. A famous person once said “ID RATHER BE BEHIND A SQUAD OF MARINES THAN A COMPANY OF SOLDIERS”
RJF95…….This is for you. Take a look at the Medal of Honor recipients. 75% of which are enlisted and not only that they are between E-1 to E-5. Also ive been around alot of officers who could’nt fight there way out of a plastic bag. If you go officer your going down the politics road.
Im 16 and im thinking about going into the navy.I have a cousin in the navy and he loves it.I want to becom a lawyer or go into the medical feild when i get out of the navy but i still dont have enough information on it.If you can help me please email me at krystalpn2@yahoo.com i would really appreciate it.
Hey Navy SEAL I have a question for you. I was looking to join the Marines but I was also so fascinated by the SEALs. Im 17 & in good condition. 80 push ups straight. 70 sit ups straight. 12 pull ups straight (dead hang). a 8:30 mile & I have had swimming class in school for the past 2 years( been told i have iron lungs) . I think I have what it takes to be a SEAL but if i was not able to make it I would NOT want to have any other job in the navy as there is almost no direct combat which I would like. So is it possible to goto SEAL training while in the Marines or Army ? Or do you have to be in the Navy to join SEAL training. I just want a military MOS with GUARANTEED combat. Any and all advise from you and/or other poster will be appreciated. Im sure you know how hard it is for someone to find a real SEAL & even posers.
I am 17 years old and I am about to join the military but I’m not sure which branch I want to join. I have looked up information on both the Army and the Marines. I want the chance to serve my country and do what is neccesary in order to. I dont want to sit at some desk or be some radio operator, I want to fight but I also want to be able to come home to my family but I know there is a chance that I might not come back. I need some advice that might be able to shed some light on the situation that I am in. Some advice from soldiers that have experinced war would be greatfully appreciated.
