Which Branch of the Military would you join?

[FutureAmerican 2]

Hi all,

If you could join a branch of the military which one would it be?

I'm particularly interested to hear from those who have been in - if you'd try a different branch or MOS, or do the same thing again!

In my case, I would LOVE to join the USAF but they require Permanent Residency with no conditions - so I'm going in another branch first and then apply for USAF Officer, as enlisted-enlisted transfers are VERY difficult, but enlisted-officer are a lot easier.

Marines.......obviously. I retired from the Corps......

I had various MOS's while in the Corps, Supply Warehousemen (3051), Supply Administration (3043), Water Safety & Survival Instructor (8563), Primary Marksmanship Instructor (8531), LAV Crewman (0313), Recruiter (8411) and my last 2 years as a Squadron Gunnery Sergeant. I could have been an Interragator Translator (0231), I was already selected to go to Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, CA to learn various dialects of Chinese but I was disqualified just prior to getting orders due to my step mother not being a US citizen. I was bummed about not getting that!!

After various times of doing joint operations with other branches of the military, if I had to choose another, it would be the Navy. I will not go into the reasons here, I want to avoid an inter-service flame war. Bottom line, any branch you serve is the right one, your serving your fellow countrymen!!

In order to be a commissioned officer in any branch of the Armed Forces, you must be a US citizen. Even if you wish to go enlisted then try to get a commision or warrant officer, you still have to be a US citizen, don't let anyone tell you any different. Dude, I recruited for 4+ years, I know what some recruiters (ALL BRANCHES) will say to get a "warm body".

Good Luck!

Navy!

I nearly did too, I was sent away at the recruitment office cos I use an asthma inhaler. I had taken a few years of NJROTC and had amazing ASFAB scores.
