All the branches have their advantages and disadvantages. I have a friend who is already in the Marines and already has a ship date for BCT, he's going to be a tank mechanic. Another of my friends is joining the Marines as infantry, he's already speaking to recruiters. I also have a few friends who are joining the Navy, and one who is in the delayed entry program and he's going in as a Corpsman. There are multiple people I know, myself included, interested in the Air Force and the Army. I also have a friend in the USCG and another who is going to enlist. All the branches have their own purposes, and while you all may say what you're doing is just a "friendly rivalry," that's bullstuff because I doubt any of you are actually in the Armed Forces, the only people I know of on the forums that are in the Armed Forces are Shinji (army AFAIK), Bones4 (air force) and possibly Monocle. So please just stop arguing. If you're going to argue about the different branches, don't just read up on all the great things (that they purposefully make sound sweeter than they actually are) that the branch you support has. Look and compare all the other branches' abilities, advantages and their usage before you argue like without any knowledge of what you're getting into.
