Which military branch?
First of all, I support ALL U.S. military branches. Thanks to all that served!But I was just wondering, which branch do most ppl like and why? I prefer Air Force, just because of the technology they use for their warfare... The ppl in the USAF can still think for themselves when they get out. ha (Buddy just got back from Iraq, Marines, he said he forgot how to think because they always told him what to do)

Navy and Air Force both have technological advantages and will serve you better for when you get out. Still, some of us didn't join to sit behind a desk and play Command & Conquer. We actually wanted to be in the fire.
im in the airforce, do you know what you are talking about? i dont think so, yeah alot of it is desk jobs, but i dont see why no one wants to recognize that the airforce still has all the other jobs that people find other services so admirable for and recognize them for. we have all the "hardass" jobs whatever you want to call them that every other services positions for, but people only seem to see that we also have desk jobs, and think thats all we are. sure all the services are going to always talk **** about each other, but we still have all the other jobs people join other services for.Originally Posted by Ran

I understand that. I wasn't able to join due to having brain surgery when I was 8. I would love to if I was able. I don't look down on any of them. I'm guessing from the "we" in your post that you served... If so, then thank you...

i like/support the marines better, they put more on the line
Yeah, I joined the Army but only got to serve for 2 years due to a back injury caused by a training accident. They medically discharged me and started paying me disability so at least they're taking care of me.
I'm with you on appreciating all branches. My father is retired Air Force, my cousin was in the Navy, my uncle the Marines, and my grandfather in the Army. To all that served, serve, or will serve, kudos.
The average Marine doesn't put anymore on the line than your normal Army grunt. For the most part, they're just overglorified.

Funny.. paying for disability ? How much are they paying you ? I bet is not ****.. So I dont think they are taking care of you.
For me its the Navy and Army. I love the skills the navy seals get in their field. The army because they have there own air force and I love Apache Helicopters. But they all kick ass and are the best in the world. USA!!!
Navy Seals are a breed of their own. ha... Yeah, they are definitely awesome

Because he has an opinion? Because he loves all branches? Because he loves certain things about different branches? Or is it because you are just a prick?
nevermind... I think I know the answer...

When calling someone a dumbass it would be a good idea to use proper punctuation. ex. "You're a dumbass"
Air Force by the way, I'd suggest you get your degree first though.
Can you explain why?
I don't know the specifics but I do know with a degree you go in as an Commissioned Officer rather than enlisted.. it opens up a lot of doors for you in the Air Force.
Lets just put it this way, my dad spent 23 years in the Air Force.. he entered without a degree and he made me promise if I was to ever join the Military that I would obtain a college education first. At the end of his service, even with his rank he had to take orders from new Commissioned Officers fresh out of college.
The pay is higher as well.. of course.
Getting your degree first allows you to get a commission in the military which in turn has much better opportunities, pay, and also better jobs.(well at at least for me because i want to be a pilot and in order to be a pilot you have to be an officer.)
I didn't know this (sure some/most of you all did), but my buddy told me that Army has to give the Marines clearing before they move over there. His unit killed Al-Quida's(sp?) number 4 man the last day he was there. They had him 2-3 times but Army would never give them the clearing...)
Back to being stock and slow
I'm in the Army National Guard, haven't been to Iraq yet though. In my experience so far in te military, I would also go for the Air Force. Several reasons (some I wish I would have known before I joined the Army) (Also, this is only my opinion, so of coarse it's not going to be the gospel):
1. They are cared for a whole lot more
2. More organized
3. Paid more
4. Usually have the better looking females
5. Don't have to go into combat zones (at least not that I know of)
There a a bunch more. I still like what I do (Information Technology) but I think it would have been a better choice to go AF.
But that's my 2 cents.
what unit are you in the Guard? what's your MOS? 25B?
I cannot believe that you think the Air Force is paid more.
NEWS FLASH.
ALL MILITARY ARE PAID EXACTLY THE SAME. Check all pay scales across the charts E-1 to E-9's are all the same across the board for EVERY branch.
only thing that might be different is BAH/BAQ, substinence pay, but that is dependent on your location. Theres others but you don't get paid those for just sitting on your ass here in the states.
Your "opinion" is exactly that.
Paid more? ha....wrong.
More Organized? ha....just check out their rigorous PT schedule. Go hang out at a hanger and see what the loaders and maint crews are doing.
Hot females? if you would stick your wang in any female in the military then you already got problems. 99.9% of them have somekind of problem which is why they joined the military because their chance of bagging a fella is much higher than in the civilian world.
Don't go into combat zones? Ever heard of Combat Controllers? you do know that there are Combat MOS's in the Air Force right? obviously not. Ever heard of PJ's?
go to military.com and learn something before you speak of such nonsense...you are no better than a junior in high school who hears such nonsense and spreads it all about.
just to throw out another mis-conception....the Army has more watercraft than the navy and coast guard combined.
--> 1st of all... before you try to regulate on some1, that's not the direction this thread is going. So f*ckin relax.
--> 2nd of all, before you try to regulate on some1 you need to learn what the hell YOU are talking about as well.
--> The AF is a whole lot more organized than say, the Army (in more ways than a few). If u want me to get into it then I will, otherwise just trust me.
--> As far as PC (physical conditioning) -- that has NOTHING to do w/ the organization of the AF. Big deal if you can run a few miles holding a brick.
--> The loaders and maintainers in the AF are doing EXACTLY what they are paid to do -- loading and maintaining. In garrison, they are TRAINING to load and maintain. It's not brain-surgery.
--> As far as the ladies go --- tell you what, ask a grunt or Marine what branch has the nicest looking ladies overall (generally speaking). They will say 1) AF and 2) Navy. PERIOD. How do I know this? I've heard it a few hundred times from a few hundred grunts and Marines. Furthermore, there is nothing more wrong w/ "sticking your wang" in a military woman than there is a woman you meet at the mall. A high percentage of women in the military are smarter than you - I know this JUST by based on your post and I don't even know you.
--> There is no such thing as a "combat" MOS. EVERY job in ANY branch of the military can place you in harms way... whether you serve food or carry a rifle. You are either literally fighting or literally supporting the fight.
--> You're obv no better than a Jr. in high school as well. Don't take a thread in a direction that it doesn't need to go in.

People are throwing out left and right about how AF pays more. Which is far from true. Your opinnion is going to be biased as you are AF. You know just as well as I on the 2008 Pay Scale which is not biased to any branch
So no E-5 AF makes more than a E-5 in Navy, Marines, Army. Time in grade yes...but you put ANY same time in grade and rank, and they will make the same.
There ARE COMBAT MOS's and SUPPORT MOS'S in the ARMY and MARINES.
AF and Navy, there are as well....Combat Controller, PJ's, Seal's, etc.
For example, in the ARMY. If you choose a support MOS that is open to all genders....most cases you will goto Ft Jackson for basic training. IF you are COMBAT MOS such as Infantry/CAV/Combat Engineer you will head to FT Benning which is a more oriented towards Combat MOS's.
I'm sorry that you can't find a woman outside the military because, theres plenty of them that are hotter and smarter.
Everyone can think what they like and be biased and such because everyone has a brother,mother,cousin,sister,uncle that was in the military.
Do your own research, because it's out there. All over the internet.
Baby J, I suggest you do more research....because your trying to "regulate" on me but you don't even have a leg to stand on because of what you heard from a few hundred marines and navy seamen...please.
so 1........f'in relax before you try and regulate on things you obviously know nothing about except AF.
hell ya... i dont care what anyone says... those air force girls are FREAKS!!! best looking girls in the service... marines---- EWWW, army- Baby Mama Drama--- navy- MANLY----- air force--- THATS WHERE ITS AT !--> As far as the ladies go --- tell you what, ask a grunt or Marine what branch has the nicest looking ladies overall (generally speaking).

thanks for calling out the grunts baby j
PIC TOO BIG
^^^ Friend of mine is in air force... said he was being deployed for two weeks... The place of deployment is Las Vegas. ha, told him it must be hard...
Back to being stock and slow
LMAO!!!! Indeed. Very hard. Now they do go over to Iraq too and they pull guard on the PX and the gym. Making sure no one gets hurt or taking too much time on the computer.
But I'm just jealous.......
I am thinking of joining either the Air Force or Navy
For one big guy your question is dumb. What do you want to do? They all have there strong points, Marines Ground....yea and fighterjets....air force Jets, army second ground and your friend is a dumbass the marines were the first to fight, navy water....oooo no..
[IMG]IMG_0655_2[/IMG]
I see the Coast Guard isn't up there. blah blah blah they are a part of the department of homeland security. They're still considered military though. I actually have a lot of respect for them. My cousin's best friend is training for AST(aviation survival technician) aka rescue swimming
Navy. Mainly because my Dad was in it.
I can't believe I forgot about Delta, but I still think the Seals may be more skilled just by a nose.
yeaiwonder88 your not to bright are you. We all have a opinion on things but at least have a meaning behind them. Repped
It seems likely the current pool of operators in Delta are more capable and experienced, having participated in more operations etc. Since the SEALS are part of the Navy afterall, they've participated in less operations since this whole "Global War on Terror" deal started.
I can believe it.
Actually the SEALs have seen plenty of action. Most of them over in Afghanistan. The main job for the SEALs right now is anti-terror. As a matter of fact that is pretty much all they are used for right now. Just because they're Navy doesn't mean they are anywhere near water.
All of the different Special Operations units are active in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Both Delta and the Seal teams are very good at what they do trust me.

08 Infinity G37 Coupe Sport FOR SALE 29k (Sold)
I know that - a SEAL team was involved in that chinook shootdown in Afghanistan. Regardless, I wasn't saying that they hadn't seen action or that they only fought near water.
The implication is that seeing as how Delta is part of the army, logically, it would be employed more regularly for a multitude of reasons.
But I don't really know, I doubt anyone posting here is privy to that kind of information. This is all just speculation.
i dont think i would make that assumption!
Only two men ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Defend your rights or lose them forever.
you forgot the US Coast Guard.
i go for the Marines i just got a cousin that graduated from there makes me want to join. i think i will after i finish all my school
92 Lx 466, 11.8 @ 111 (Daily Driver)
98 sunfire GT (terrible gas mileage)
In high school, I was Staff Sargent in our AFJROTC. So I love the Air Force. Before graduation, I was about to join the Marines, but my mom found out, and made me feel bad, as I am their only child. btw they adopted me, so I felt obligated not to join, so I didn't join. But none the less, I respect all the branches, and all those that serve and protect our country, and sacrifice so much for us to be safe.
Oh yeah.....HOOOOORAH!
