My brother just left for Afgan ealier this week. I hate it, my family hates it. Couldn't tell you much more than that other than I got a 3 yr old sister and a 6 yr old sister that miss him more than JD misses having hair.

If you go into the military go to the Navy it’s allot better being both Enlisted and being an Officer. If you are enlisted all you have to do is pass a 200 question multiple choice test to get advanced in pay grade. They tell you exactly what to study. I have seen people make E-5 in 2 years or less and E-6 in 4 to 5 years.  I have seen chief in 8, once you hit chief in the navy you are pretty much untouchable. It takes an act of congress to get you demoted back to E-6. I can tell you from first hand experience you will receive more in-depth and better training for whatever job you do in the navy as compared to the chair force. For my job in the Navy I work on Hydraulics, Sheet metal fab, tires, brakes. In the air force those are all separate jobs. OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW. If you enjoy working with your hand and enjoy some physical labor do not become an officer. You won’t do anything but paperwork and managerial stuff. Yes they make more money but I enjoy my job. I am enlisted and while my wife and I are not loaded we are never in need. We live in a nice house (Base housing), drive nice cars, all our bills are paid, and we have paid for all of her college out of pocket. All while still being able to afford my very expensive turbo Honda habits. Also another thing to think about is you get extra points on you advancement exams for having degrees. One more thing and i'm  done. There is a program when you enlist and I think get your commission too, that if you have student loans they will pay them off instead of getting the GI Bill. I know they have it don’t let them tell you different. If you have any questions or need help in this process PM me I am always willing to help people out in this matter. There is allot recruiters neglect to tell you, so do your research.   GL

Dont take advice from people like this that havent experienced both sides, I cant speak for any other services but the Air Force has it good!! I joined the Air Force at 21 yrs and I am still enlisted and wouldnt change it for anything. I shadowed an officer (Captain) for 3 days when I was thinking about going to OTS, and it was the worst, most borish shit I have ever had to endure.. This was a Logistics Readiness Squadron officer and I damn nearly gouged my eyes out with my Leatherman.. Im not saying this is for you, but my point of view as a NCO.

I can not speak for the marines but I have worked with the army and the airforce through out my navy carrier. The airforce is not trained as well and niether is the army. I can tell you right now I could get out of the navy go blue to green and become atleast one rank higher than I am now in the navy just because we are trained better. I can as an E-5 in the navy go to the army become a warrent officer and fly helicopters. None of the other services can walk in to the navy and gain rank like we can if we go to yours. What does that tell you.

I've got 8 years in the navy.  I would never tell a person that I don't know that the navy is the best for them.  I know people that are die hard marines, army and air force.  They all have their advantages and disadvantages.  It all depends on what the person wants to do in the future.

i went into the navy at 19 and made E-5 in a little over 2 years with evals, test scores and awards. was in charge of people in their 30's that were higher paygrade then me just because they didnt know shit about what was going on. pretty much whatever you decide make sure its really what you want to do.

it tells me that you cannot spell simple words like career or warrant correctly, and yet you still feel the need to try and preach to others about how superior your service is. you may be trained better in a certain area, like how to fix a jet engine, and that's debatable. your statements are so vague and ignorant, it's probably good that you have such a distorted view of the armed forces, as you would probably have trouble in the real world.

also, you can't walk into any branch of service and begin to fly, no matter what your rank. do you think that the army just hands out helicopters to people that laterally transfer over? you need to quit regurgitating the shit you hear because it makes you sound fucking retarded.

Navy hospitals I've worked with weren't up to par with the experience/training of our CSH. Not saying all Navy hospitals, I just know that our unit is quite a few steps ahead in skills in nearly every section of the hospital than our Navy counterparts working with us.

Oh really now, I went to Tech School at Port Hueneme with Navy students for the common basic, easy first half, then branch out into specific seperate schools. Guess whos school was shorter? Not ours.. What does that tell me? If the Air Force is willing to take a seaman, its usually only soft skulls that they can con into S.F. cannonfodder.
