    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    wrong.

    All officers in ALL branches are paid EXACTLY the same.

    a SGM E-9 also makes MUCH more than a 2LT or 1LT....so just because you are an officer does not mean you get paid more than enlisted.

    Family Separation Allowance, Basic Allowance for Subsistence, Clothing Allowances, and Personal Money Allowance), Incentive and Special Pay (including Aviation Career Incentive Pay, Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay, Imminent Danger Pay, Diving Pay, Parachute, Flight Deck, Demolition, Submarine Duty Incentive Pay, Sea Pay and Drill Pay), and Special Pays for Health Professionals Officers (including Variable Special Pay, Board Certified Special Pay, and Multiyear Retention Bonus).



    those are the only differences, and you only get these if you qualify....so no particular branch just pays these out to everyone who is in that particular branch.

    to break it down further....

    not all Army gets jump pay, and not all Navy gets Submarine pay....so it differs all across the board dependent on what you do, but the money is out there for anyone to get if you are qualified and goto that particular school.

    he was referring to officers being payed more than enlisted. and also look at years of service compared between the 2, year for year and advancement for advancement and officer will always make more than enlisted.

    navy offers a program called seaman to admiral, which allows new recruits who excell in a school and show community service to attend college completly free for 4 years, with navy pay of your mos, and no shore duty, and once you recieve your degree you becom an NCO.....i believe that all branches have a program like this, the armed services can make you a rich mother****er, you just have to know how to use it right and not go become a manican they controll

    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.)

    even tho you have a degree first dont mean they can go to ocs. Gotta have a 4 years degree, then they make you take a test to see if you even qualify. So having a degree doesn't mean you get to go to ocs.
