    For the record: Chicks find just about any military uniform sexy - especially if the guy is good looking too.

    Which branch should you choose? I say either the Air Force or the Coast Guard - those were my two choices when I was in HS. But now I will never be allowed into any military program, so it doesn't matter for me. I've had friends in all the branches, and I love them dearly because they had the balls to go into the military, but really, it's all in what you want to do.

    I'm not interested in the CG. :)

    Oh yeah? How long ago? Maybe she could hook up with my ex fiance and give him some flesh eating disease in his happy area. Just kidding. It's good she joined the Navy, now you dont have to deal with her lame arse.


    GreenVegan76,

    I started studying political science because I wanted to understand more about our government. I want to soak up as much as possible. I can imagine a better career and personal step than joining the armed forces (only for a brief 4 years) to get more insight. I'm actually alright with dying. I could go on and on with sappy girly emotional stuff about the war, but the only reason isn't the money. ;)

    I shouldn't have made Marines a choice, punks.

    Agree entirely.

    Student loans are not a bad thing!

    Gotta do things for the right reasons.

    Maybe her ex-fiance turned her into a lesbian. :eek:

    My ex-girlfried was in the Army. She only had complimentary things to say about it.

    Then again, she's a b****.

    I vote Air Force.

    Maybe someone will post before this one so it won't be a double post. My typing sucks today. :(

    p.s. I'm not lesbo.

    The few, the proud, the marines. I just don't see myself as a marine.

    My nephew recently joined the Marines. My father was in the Navy. If it were me I'd join the Navy. I love the ocean(I might not by the time I finished the Navy, but I'd try it.) I have another friend who's in the navy. He said the worst part is getting extremely bored sometimes. I like to write, so I would hopefully use that time constructively.

    you know you're going to war, right?

    join the marines, that's the easiest branch... those are girly guys... go ahead, tell them that when you get there.

    I disagree. The Navy has some of the most mentally demanding occupations/trades in the military, especially on the officer side of things. Bridge officer (officer of the watch) is arguably the most demanding military job of all. The burn out rate is very high (only about 30% actually become certified bridge officers). Air Force pilot is not nearly as fast-paced, and pilots get plenty of down time, unlike a naval crew.

    The Air Force is considered by almost everyone to be the most slow-paced, laid-back branch of the military (even air force people admit this). The Navy is generally a very high-tech, busy atmosphere. Only consider the Army or Marines if you are in top-notch physical shape (I mean really, really fit) and have a high tolerance for pain and discomfort. I spent plenty of time in the field on basic officer training and I would never, ever consider joining the Army. It sucked and I can't imagine myself doing infantry stuff as a career.

    In short, if you are really set on this, I recommend the Navy or Air Force.

    You don't have to be in top physical shape. I've seen some worthless fat asses. If you join the Army, beware, they issue a big ass to you in basic training. Very few females are not issued this.
    If you want to be treated like crap, join the Army or the Marines. If you want a nice bonus and/or college loan money, join the Army.
    If you want a large variety of occupations, join the Army.
    The Army isn't so bad. It's not the pain or the discomfort you have to learn to tolerate nonstop. It's the bull s it. There are truckloads of it for you to eat every day. Depending on what unit you go to in any branch, it'll be that way. You might get lucky and land a good job, you might pull the short straw. It's like rolling the dice. If you join the Army, there's a high probability you'll get deployed, especially if you become a queer...I mean MP.
