I heard once that the toughest job in the military is military spouse.  I agree.  They aren't on the payroll, but the military spouses go through a great deal while their loved ones are in combat.

The Navy for sure!! But you know what they say... 600 sailors go out and 300 new couples come back! (GO ARMY!!!) J/K I love and RESPECT ALL OF MY FELLOW SERVICE MEMBERS! 12 years US Army. I would suggest to every able bodied male to serve.

depends what you want to do.  the marines are the toughest guys in the military.  they are killing machines.  they are trained for combat and they aren't given as much equipment.\n\nthe navy is a more technical endeavor.  you will be trained in electronics maybe, or working decks or some such, depending on your post.  but the training and the job won't be as physically demanding.

Negative. Although the different branches of the US military all serve the same ultimate cause, to protect the nation, they all serve that cause in different ways. \n\nEach brance has its own unique specialities and strengths and that is important. One of the great benefits of having different branches is that people can enlist into whatever branch suits their strangths better.\n\nWhat your question proposes is the possibility of the Army combines all of its career paths into one, therefore eliminating all specialties. If that were to happen, then there would be no soldiers who are elite at any one job. \n\nJust think, at your job, should they combine all departments and make everyones title equal? How efficient would that be?

Largest Navy\nThe United States Navy is the world's largest in terms of manpower. In early 2004 there were 379,546 uniformed personnel on active duty, supported by 183,742 civilian employees. \nThis does not include the 170,000-odd uniformed members of the US Marine Corps, which is regarded as a separate arm of the armed forces.

Hey,\nI am a member of the United States Navy. This question should have a follow up question because it definitely depends on your preference. I am obviously going to go with the USN mostly because the Rates we offer transfer into the Civilian sector and most sailors can make a career coming out of the Navy. When you ask which branch is the toughest, its a very wide question because it all comes down to whether you mean physcially, which is trained more harsh than the other? We are all tough in our own ways. The SEALs are a very tough spec ops rank to achieve and overcome, they are trained mentally and physically to a high extreme. Also, Hooah is the Army's saying. Oorah is Marines and Hooyah is Navy.

The best branch of the military service is the branch that can do the most for YOU!\n\nEveryone out there has their own opinion about the "best" branch, and we all know what opinions are like.  I retired from the Army.  My two brothers were in the USN and the USAF.  I have a cousin in the USMC.  Needless to say, family reunions are great. *L*\n\nYOU need to do the research.  Go to each recruiter.  Get the information, make NO COMMITMENT, take the information home and READ it.  Don't just look it over, READ it!  Talk it over with your guidance counselor, parents, grandparents, and/or wife.  Go to the VFW, Elks, Moose lodge, Masons, or any other civic organization, and ask them.  Every where you go, there will be a vet.  Everyone will have their own opinion, and every service is the "best".

Navy, the branches of service call the Air Force--"The chair force".  They also have the most members of the fat boys club.  If you ever see an overweight person in the military, he's in the chair force.  My husband is ex-Army.  But Air Force has better uniforms than the Navy.  hee-hee.

Marines.  Hands down.

I don't know.  Below is the UK's Ministry of Defense (Like the USA's DoD) which controls all branches of the British military.

Each branch checks each other and balances out their power. So no branch is more powerful than the other.

An E-1 in any branch of the military.

LOL....My husband is in the Army and hear him to tell it the Army is better...it's a man thing all branches of the military have their own role and importance needless to say,when on the battle field they'll set aside that man ego of which branch is better and help their fellow brothers\n\n                                    101st Airborne Division\n                                      Fort Campbell,Ky\n                                        "RAKKASANS"

YOU GO GIRL!!! The Air Force is by far the best choice. I joined in 94 and never regretted the discission for one second. In fact while I was serving, I had individuals from each branch say to me they wish they had gone Air Force. The Air Force has the best training (many other branches train with the Air Force) and they take care of their people better than any other branch. Of course, I'm bias because I love and miss the Air Force very much.

Seems like you have gotten a correct answer in here.\n\nThe branches of the military are:\n\nThe Army, Navy and Air Force.  Anything else, as in the Army National Guard (falls under the Army), the Marine Corps (falls under the Navy) and Coast Guard (falls under Homeland Security) aren't actual branches.\n\nThe one thing that does sadden me about nearly ever response here is that most people seem to think the Navy only does things on the water.  That's just plain not true.  Yes, the Navy has a ton of destroyers, submarines, aircraft carriers, etc... but take a look at things, the US Navy has more aircraft than the Air Force does.\n\nYou can't say that the Navy's job is just to move the Marines from place to place and fight battles on the sea.  That's not what we do.  In fact, the Marines now have their own ships and move themselves around.\n\nThe US Navy, the main portion, is divided up into Battle Groups.  These Battle Groups consist of an aircraft carrier, several destroyers/frigates, a sub and other support ships.  These battle groups can go anywhere in the world on a moments notice.  Within a day or so, we can have a massive supply of US military force anywhere we need it.  It would take the Army and Air Force weeks to do what we do.
