Army? - Page 4

Captain Morgan · 06-23-2011, 11:07 PM

Haven't read the responses...but Air Force. Not just because I was in, but because it's more like a regular job. I've had 3 relatives in the Army and all wish they'd gone AF instead.

Ive been around air force guys, gals, and their kids. Someget stationed at one base and theyve never had to move. Some get transfered occasionaly but I never met some one ortheir child that said they moved all the time.

Ive always been told Navy if you wanna see the world, air force if you dont like moving, army if you dont mind getting dirty, and marines if you dont want to live.

My oldest bro had a friend join the marines after high school. He was over seas when we first started the war on terrorism. The things they had to do and the things he saw are unimagionable. He did his 4 years and did not re-enlist. I got a family friend in the Navy and he is in a sub. Nothing like spending months under water. Last ai heard he liked it and relisted. I have a friend from my old job join the army. I havent talked to him in over 4 years. I dont even know if he ever made it back. I have another friend that I grew up with join the airforce. He got stationed in Florida and worked on the warthogs. He eventually got tired of it and some bs and got out.

i am pretty much open to any of the branches and want to know your opinion of each, i know we have alot of different people in various stages of enlistment.

I think only you can make the decision on which branch is best for you. Go talk to all the recruiters and see what they have to offer.

You also need to decide if you want to go active duty or reserve. If I'm not mistaken you aren't much younger than me, so you might be forced to go a certain direction unless you get an age waiver.

Whatever you do, don't make a hasty decision since you have others depending on you. Think it through completely.

Capt I say this with respect. not to slam you or your relatives. i had a few friends who were AF they loved it and I respected their opinion.

that said, I was Army as said, I would rather be a homeless wino rather then have been in AF. That is just my opinion, not everyone would agree but I would never pick AF over Army for me personally.

What do you want to do? Any military officer position experience will open a wealth of jobs to you later in life. Army is one of the fastest track to promotion's because of how large the Army is, of course you are going to have to be on point physically and mentally to succeed.
