I would say Navy, also check out the Air Force. You have to get your High School Diploma or equivalent (GED) to join the armed forces. So either catch up you credits or you can get your GED.

It is a very long four years and then you have a five year commitment.  It will be a very good education for you.  Unterstand what you want.  Most people are not used to working in the same employer for five years.  With your service commitment, you will be working/serving the Navy for five years.  College is tough, but imagine all the added physical training on top.  It will take someone with a lot of commitment to get through it.  If this is you, go for it.

well brother, joining the army is a big deal. i myself joined the military but decided to go the navy route because they focus mostly on school, a career, and family. i met several army and marine hopefuls at MEPS. these kids (that's right KIDS) thought they were invincible. they couldn't wait to serve their country and blow sh*t up! has the thought of going to iraq crossed my mind, totally. but i have faith i will see the other end and take what i have learned from my future experience. if you have researched enough about that branch and you're confident that is your path, go for it.

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.

22 Navy Vet.  I see a lot of fingers pointing to differant branches, It's not the NAVY you want to join!  It's not really any branch.  I would say join the Coast Guard.  They are military, but then again not.  Run by DHS not DOD.  If you join, keep your mouth shut.  Keep your private life private.  The last thing you want is to be pushed over a side rail 1000 miles out at sea or attacked while out in the woods on training.  Maybe stay in school and choose another career path.

Get into your high school ROTC program if you have one. These programs can get you started one the basics of military. Get very active in ROTC if you feel it is for you because you can receive scholarships and an appointment to the airforce academy. Your ranking and your awards your receive in high school rotc can excell you in military after high school. Also take your asvab exam as early as you can that way you can retake it if you don't score high enough for airforce. Air Force requires higher scoring. Also, do good in all your classes throughout high school because it will benefit you either way you go.

Two good choices are the Naval Academy or West Point.  Steer clear of the Air Force Academy, they just don't have much history.

I think that today's Army require you to have a high school diploma, or at the very least a GED certificate.Call the Army Recruiting office and check it out.

Being a Navy wife for 30 years, I would say the Air Force. The brances go by reading levels. Air Force, Navy, Marine, Army are the levels. Then you want the pay. Same levels. Education, Medical, Dental is offered by all branches no difference. You want to get a job that pays good and one that advancement is in. It is all about time in and money. When the recuritor tells you you will be getting your Medical "Free" that used to make me laugh, because it comes out of your taxes you are paying for it. Not the president. No there is no money transpired, but you are still paying for it. If you want to go into the service, go to college first, go in as an officer not a civilian. Money money money.  That is what you want to get. Your rate and rank has to go up.You will always be tested to achive a better rate. Now, it is a big commetment.  You are going to get married to the service.  There is no way out until your tour is up and then they ask you if you want to stay in.  Will you be educated enough from the military to go out into the world and get a good paying job?  Suppose you fall in love and get married, you cannot live on base unless you are a certain rate. Base living is very nice, but you are not making a lot of money. So now you have to live off base.  Rent is high. So no marriage until your first tour is up get your education and your money.  Better still, go to college before you go into any branch of the service. \nPlease go to college first.

(i am assuming you are from the United States)  depends on what you are skilled in and what you are interested in.  the military will look at your strengths and weaknesses and train you for what you're good for.  If you are extremely intelligent don't be surprised if you get a desk job.  in the army or marines you'll probably become a foot soldier or a tank operator or something, but you may also be trained in helicopter flight.  the Airforce will likely have you as a aircraft mechanic but there is a small chance of becoming a pilot (less than 7% in the Airforce fly, i think).  If you want to join the military but want to be safe as possible, join the Navy.  those ships we got are pretty safe considering all the wars the US is in is with terrorists in mountains, not against countries with a well developed Navy.  these are just suggestions of things to look into.  basically just go into whatever branch that can help you build your strengths.  sorry for the lengthy post.

I think that you would have better opportunity's for advanced career training if you just went ahead and joined the regular Navy. Do your 4 years active duty and your obligation is over. In the Reserves you will do 18 months active and the rest will be drilling one weekend a month and active duty for training for 2 Weeks out of the year.That is a total of 6 years commitment to be subject to mobilization at the whim the president.

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.

It all depends on what you are interested in doing.  Each branch of the US military has it's ups and downs.\n\nUS Marines - are tough but well respected.\nUS Army - fast promotions but some of their living conditions on the installations need work.\nUS Navy - lots of interesting ports to visit but spend lots of time at sea away from family.\n\nUS Air Force - good balance of promotions, work environment and base support services.  Housing for the AF is for the most part good.

I was Army for several years and enjoyed it...but my cousin was Navy and enjoyed it as well.  So, it is just a matter of personal choice.

I enjoyed my stay in the Army, had a pretty high ASVAB score, but still wanted to be combat arms (fire support specialist), and had the time of my life.   I also had some friends that went in the Marines, and they loved it too, I don't think you can go wrong, it will probally be some of the best years of your life.  Just make sure you figure out your job options first, I chose the Army because I could pick my specific job instead of just a general field, not sure if that has changed lately.

I would say that the best program for college is the Navy's Seaman-to-Admiral program.  You would have to come into the Navy as an enlisted person.  Then apply for the program.  Once accepted you go to, what is affectionately called "Fork and Knife" school to learn to be an officer.  After that, you head to your college where you complete your Bachelor's degree.  The Navy pays for ALL of your Tuition and Books.  The Navy pays you your Basic Pay, Housing Pay and Comrats (food pay).  You finish your degree and bingo bango bongo, you're an officer.
