THIS IS A GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY AND NOT TO BE CONSIDERED DEFINITIVE IN ANYWAY. It's merely a guide to help you make a better informed decision instead of a four year mistake.
PLEASE READ MORE DETAILED DATA ON EACH SERVICE BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION ON ENLISTMENT AS EACH PROVIDES VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THEIR OWN AND ARE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO.
Army: Great fighting history based on dedicated service well over two centuries. Medium warrior culture based on individual development. Extremely competent and very professional. Individuals enlist for benefits and a sense of service.
Navy: Greatest technicians in the world because their training is the most comprehensive due to the fact they can't have a factory rep fly to the middle of the ocean to make repairs. Like the Army, medium warrior culture based on technical skills and their people enlist for benefits and a sense of service.
Air Force: Great service even though they're only 50+ years old and still defining themselves as warriors. Second to none in owning the skies and extremely competent at what they do. Loose warrior culture based on individual development in a corporate setting and they enlist mostly for college benefits and technical schools.
Coast Guard: Often forgotten small highly motivated service filled with world class technicians for the same reasons as the Navy. Medium warrior culture based on saving rather than destroying whenever possible. Individuals enlist for sense of service, care of the environment and personal benefits.
Marines: Highly motivated individuals seeking great personal challenge through group participation. People enlist looking for that special magic they know is inside of them and they're looking for someone to help bring it out. Heavy warrior culture based on individual's contribution to overall group where failure is never considered an option.
