4 Ways to Choose the Right Branch of the Military

1. If you’ve ever thought of trying to become a Navy Seal, then you’ll need to join the Navy or the Marines. Navy Seals are pulled exclusively from these two branches of the United States military. You can apply for Seal training when you join now, so you can go in with that intention.

2. Do you like planes and air travel? Does the idea of being in a jet or helicopter most of the time make you happy? You’ll definitely want to look into the Air Force. You’ll fly in any branch of the military, but the Air Force has more of an airborne focus than other branches.

3. Are you a water baby? Do you feel at home on the water, and love ships and sea travel? Join the Navy. You could be on an aircraft carrier, a destroyer or a nuclear submarine. You’ll learn marine travel and seamanship best as a Navy recruit than any other branch of the military.

Are You Interested in Travel and Learning a Professional Skill? There are career fields in the United States Army Reserves and National Guard for YOU! Click HERE for Details.

4. Would you like to be able to serve your country and get military benefits without doing so full time? Join the National Guard, where you can train part time with all the benefits and opportunities to serve.

I have a three month old little girl that I am trying to support by myself at the moment. I am interested in doing something new with my life. I want to be able to provide for my daughter and myself. I have no prior military experience but most of my family has been in one branch or another of the military. I would like to know which branch would be good for me to enlist in. If you wouldn’t mind I would like to hear back from you with some guidance on which path to take. Thank you, Anjelyca

		Anna November 19th, 2011 at 6:55 pm 0 0 Anjelyca in my personal opinion i would go airforce because they provided most for families with children and being a airforce, navy, and army bratt, i can remember airforce being the most enjoyable as a child and my mother having lots of support.

		Amanda January 26th, 2012 at 8:10 am 0 0 Hello, I am a high school graduate and right now I’m in Germany. Both my parents are in the Air Force and I feel pretty good about joining the military but honestly I think I’m leaning more towards the Navy and becoming a photographer. I like the idea of being in helicopters as much as I do being on a boat. Everyone tells me the Air Force has more benefits but no one tells me what those are. I want to be able to travel more oversees and I love being by the water though the thought of being on a boat for an extended period of time makes me feel a little sick. (Unless it’s a cruise ship, naturally :] ) Though I’ve been through plenty of AF activities and I’ve moved around my whole life but this is my parents first time being oversees since they joined. I’m really confused about which branch to join because my two best friends just joined. One in the Navy, and one in the AF. Though the Navy guy isn’t a fan of the navy he loves that he gets to go to so many places. The AF guy says he really likes the AF so far but right now he’s in Texas still. I just can’t find a recruiter to talk to.
