Speaking from personal experience and pride.  I would say the Marine Corps is the way to go.  Something my friends and I noticed while I was in; if you ask a soldier what he does, he will tell you "I am in the Army." Navy? "I am in the Navy." Air Force? "I am in the Air Force." But if you ask a Marine what he does, he/she will tell you "I am a Marine!"  That is something no one else in the world can say.  For 230 years the Marine Corps has been monkey stomping anyone that needs it.  There has never been a mutiny in the Marine Corps.  Hence the motto "Semper Fidelis." Which means "Always Faithful."  It applies to more than that also. It applies to the fact that, if we can help it, we never leave a man on the battlefield.  Wounded or dead.  We take care of our own.  From experience with other branches of service they learn a little about their service history.  Marines learn everything about their service history.  It is no longer the history of the Marine Corps, it is MY history as well. I was a Sergeant. I was leader of Marines.  That is one of the greatest feelings in the world.  Almost as good as the day I stood on top of "The Reaper," and my Senior Drill Instructor put that Eagle,Globe, and Anchor in my hand, and told me(this by the way was the first time in the entire 13 weeks of boot camp that any Marine is addressed as Marine, only when their training is complete are you a Marine.) "Congratulations Marine. Welcome to the Corps."  Marines have pride in their service in part because of our history, and also because we had to earn the title Marine.  We had to earn the right to be called Marine.  Everyone else is a soldier, sailor, or airman as soon as they get to basic training.  Not Marines. I was every derogatory term except.  I certainly wasn't a human being. But then it was all worth it.  Marines are the first to fight.  Whatever you think your chances of going to Iraq or Afghanistan are...double it.  I'm not trying to Scare you away, but every Marine is a rifleman. Our pilots learn learn infantry combat tactics.  Oh by the way the whole Navy pilots are the best thing. Only the top 10% of Naval Flight School, are allowed to be Marine pilots.  Someone had mentioned the Navy SEALs.  You can be a Navy SEAL even if you are a Marine.  The SEALs are Special Forces and thus are open for anyone in the Armed Services to try.  But why do that, the Corps just started its own Special Forces program.  I would have retired if I could have.  Anyway I say go Marine.

Are you kidding? The IRR is the preferred source of manpower shortages in the Army and the Marines. What branch of service and MOS means everything. They need MP's and Infantry. They pretty much will leave the rest alone.

The Army doesn't have branches.  The US government has branches (executive, legislative and judicial).  The military has branches, I guess - Army, Navy (Marines are part of the Navy) and Air Force.  Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security, not the Defense Department, so they aren't considered military.

It feels great to be called US Marine.  That's why I joined.  And I've met three former Army girls in my battalion who had the guts to join up as well.  Obviously I'm not the only one who knows where the best are supposed to be.  Semper Fi.

Being a Navy man I don't know all the rules for Merchant Marines (MM).  I do belive the only time MM get military/Gov't type benefits is when they are pulled into a war.  Last time I know that happened was WWII.  Not to say your husband may not have something coming to him.  I would still check through MM channels as well as American Legion and VFW.  Not sure if I helped you much.  Best of luck

Matter a fact I am pretty sure the U.S.Navy has an installation there anyway. Mass could fight back! There are several submarines at port there.
