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.
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...
Back to being stock and slow
i like/support the marines better, they put more on the line
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!!!
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...)

Navy Seals are a breed of their own. ha... Yeah, they are definitely awesomeOriginally Posted by NewGen33

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.
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.
^^^ 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
Your a dumbass, even worse your from newnan......

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]
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...
Back to being stock and slow
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.

Delta
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 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
Can you explain why?
you forgot the US Coast Guard.
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.)
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 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

I can believe it.
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!

boooooostin'
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.
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.
Hummm good advice guys... What would be the best field to get a degree in?
I say army because im shipping out in less than two weeks to benning . all are the same just depends on where your trying to live and what your trying to do(mos). 25b anyone know anything about that? suppose to be pretty good most como , ive been told is a damn good job to have...not that any other mos is not a good job to have either but for what i was looking for its a damn good job. plus you can still get a degree and try and go to ocs to become a commission officer its not like you HAVE to have a degree right off the bat but it does helps you out alot sooner
mista in my opinion it depends on if your making military a career or temp thing...its based on what you want to do, what makes good money on the civilian world and if im not mistaken you dont get to pick the field your in when you become an officer its what you score the highest on , i could be wrong
--> 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.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
i'd go with the marines maybe bc half my family were in the marines... their like the top notch of all... so i'd go with the marines plus they risk more than anyone else...
how about I know what the f I am talking about, because it's in black in white for you to see aka military.com, goarmy.com, rpi's.--> 1st of all... before you try to regulate on some1, that's not the direction this thread is going. So f*ckin relax.

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.
Well since you asked.... MARINES BABY OOH_FUKN_RAH KILL!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH
only because i am one
PIC TOO BIG
