Air Farce has better training opportunities, but if you're hard-headed and need a kick in the butt to get motivated you need the Marines. I'm Navy, wish I were AF.

The US Air Force was the first service to get better pay, better housing and better everything for its members. You can't go wrong with the USAF. Had considered it myself when I was 17, but I wanted to be a US Army Ranger. Now, more than 18 years later, I am still here. Now I am a First Sergeant for an armor company of M1A2 SEP Main Battle Tanks.\n Good Luck with your choice. Talk to a recruiter or check out www.af.mil

If your intentions are to possibly leaned towards a career I would highly reccommend the choice you have already made. The Air Force is an excellent choice family wise also. If you like to spend months onboard a ship, then by all means join the Navy. If you like walking, marching or bouncing around in a vehicle, join the Army. If you think you are the macho type and enjoy running errands on a ship, plus like to march or strut around like a tin soldier and think your the badest ass in town, go with the Marines. It's as simple as that. There is no such thing as the best, we're all in this together and should act as such. To me there is no single hero, in my personal opinion anyone who puts on a uniform and serves his country (USA)honorably for a full tour of duty in any branch of the services deserves to be called a hero.

My favorite animal is the falcon. It can fly and is free. It is also really fast. And it is strong too. IT's also the official animal of the Us Air Force, which I am going to join.

No way. The Marines are the elite. And no I am not putting the Army down in the least. But the marines are a different breed so to speak.

Go talk to a reqruiter.  But first of all you need to decide how you would like to serve your country.  There is a very big difference between joining the Marines and the Air Force.  In the Corp. be ready to be one hard charging GUNG HO MO FO.  lol.  The Air Force is 300 times more laid back and much easier duty.  So it really depends on your personality and just how much of a bad ass you want to be.

Air Force.  It's more cool and you're not out to sea for months.

The Air Force is often harder to get into and make rank because of its limitations on job descriptions. The Navy actually TRAINS much of the Air Force in combat situations. Also the Navy has more special forces and jobs not normally seen at first glance (ie, Submarines, Seals, Marines, etc). The Navy has possible the best worldwide record in survival and firefighting. THE best in controlling and training safety at all levels. Particullarly Nuclear energy. The Navy is more open to recognizing untapped potential within you and willing to foot the bill to educate and train you. The travel options are greater too.\n\nFew people, ESPECIALLY the Marines, don't understand the MARINES are also part of the Navy.  I was on SUBMARINES for 4 years. I interacted w/Marines many times on security issues. I met many fine and intelligent people who never would have been anything if not for the Navy. I also had the chance to exchange knowledge with NASA (some Navy programs get you in here), British sailors, Canadian Submariners, Panama Military, and I explored many foreign ports.

My husband does! he absolutely loves it and for the a-hole who said they are a waste of money, who do you think gets the army and the marines where they are supposed to go and gets them out of war zones?\nmy husband is staying in, he's been in for 4 years and is going to college as well, the Air Force has been pretty good to us

...I'd say it depends on what job you want accomplished.  If you want things broken and large numbers of people killed, you send in the Marines.  If you need someone taken out quietly, the SEALS may be your choice.  If you have a hostage situation and need the badguys whacked, Delta Force may be the best option.  They're all good at what they do...

My husband was an Air Force officer for 10 years and loved it.  Opportunities abound and the pay isn't bad in the officer ranks.  The Air Force has the most to offer in terms of recreation, housing and other amenities.  That's not just personal opinion, either.  While he was razzed for being in the "easiest" branch of the military, he did his time overseas and worked a lot of hours.  \n\nI'll take the nicer temporary housing and commissary any day of the week for a bit of razzing.

the reasons are partly historical and partly practial. in short each is responable for the area of its own expertise. the army fights on land and the navy on the water. the airforce became a branch when it was decided that it needed to be a seperate force in oeder to fufil its missions. the marines are really a part of the navy. years ao tey had the mission of defending navy bases and capturing new ones as well as acting as shipboard infantry. the coast guard also becomes part of the navy in times of war but also handles lifesaving, safety, and maritime security. there is overlap since all branches need certain things such as aircraft. where it makes sense to have assets under the control of any branch they are given them. the navy needs aircraft to fufill its mission so it has carriers. the army might need boats for supply soit has them. the marines have become our kick in the door landing force and since they do it better than anyone else they are given watever they need. today all fight as a team under the command of the officer in charge of a region. an army general might command both navy ships and airforce planes in order to complete the mission. its not simple but it works and there is very little waste in the system. every asset and mission is carefully thought out and justified.

The US Marines are a land-attack unit of the US Navy. i.e beach landings. The marines are also known to be highly trained in combat and have some cool equipment. They are also well versed in both marine and land combat.\nMarines are excellent for river patrols too.\n\nThe US Army, well, is the Army. They do ground-based attacks, with of course Army aviation. Their speciality is artillery and everything to do with the ground. They have almost no relation to the sea, but sometimes perform beach landings.\n\nBoth units use similar weapons, but very different aviation equipment\n\nIn terms of actual service differences, I'll try to phrase it a little better. In terms of land warfare equipment, there are some, but few differences between the Army and the Marines. In terms of training, Marine bootcamp is longer, is segregated by genders, and culminates in a 52-hour test known as The Crucible. In terms of doctrinal/tactical differences, the Marines are designed to be shock troops, conducting an intial assault as the first assault forces to enter a war. Thus, the Marines tend to have the highest physical requirements. The Army (not including its special ops units such as Rangers, Green Berets, or Delta Force) are designed to take part in a sustained ground war and thus are trained as your "average" soldier.

I was in the Air Force so you know what I'm going to pick!! And I spent six months for training on a Navy base and it was horrible!!  The Air Force seems to treat you better and the food was definitely better!
