If I said only answers that say Coast Guard would be considered for best answer would you call shenanigans? I'm kidding I was in the USCG.\n\nI'd really have to go with Marine Corps myself, cause he said he came to bring a sword. Any competeing opinions.

He'd be a coast guard cos he can calm the oceans and walk on water

~Well, pilgrim, me and the Duke just discussed it and we agree the Marines want you.  No brains, likes to sweat, believes invading a sovereign nation without cause or justification is a patriotic thing to do and is somehow akin to defending the motherland.  You'll probably look good in a butch cut and will give the folks on the other side a worthwhile target to shoot at.  By all means, stay away from a "technical" branch that may require foreign concepts like thought and reason and get your butt to Paris Island and start pushing dirt as soon as you can.  Bill O'Reilly loves you.  Given your reasons for wanting to sign up, I'm sure you'll go far.  You could even be our next Bill Calley or Ollie North.

You got that right... But the other units aren't NAVSOC...  although they do the same stuff...  Check out SWCC (the boat guys), or EOD (the bang guys), they do such special stuff the Navy just gave each thier own Rating!

The Coast Guard is a good service, you can be stationed anywhere you want after boot camp. Just remember that around 80% out of boot camp go to cutters. But your only there until you go to "A" school

If you're looking for a better chance of advancing and more choices of jobs. Army. \n\nIf you're anting to learn how to fight and truly defend yourself and you're not worried about advancing really far. Marines.

Nope.  I personally served alongside some Marines that weren't US citizens.  In several cases it expedited their naturalization process.  In all cases I respected that these men weren't citizens but loved America enough to serve.  I'd be first in line to say that these men should be citizens.

The Navy for sure!! But you know what they say... 600 sailors go out and 300 new couples come back! (GO ARMY!!!) J/K I love and RESPECT ALL OF MY FELLOW SERVICE MEMBERS! 12 years US Army. I would suggest to every able bodied male to serve.

George W Bush\n\nHe "avoided" Vietnam by joining the National Guard.\n\n\nSo what? He didn't want his son to get killed in Vietnam, what father wouldn't use his influence to potentially save his son's life?\n\nIf you were able to do the same thing for your son, would you?

As a Marine Gunnery Sgt. I will give you the best advice I know how to give you. First, don't appologize. Other than being a sign of weakness, it also acknowledges acceptance of wrongdoing. And what you said, and why you said it was NOT wrong. Honest open debate is ALWAYS a good thing, even if closed minded people, or uneducated people are around who don't know how to do so. You were merely playing the role of the Devil's advocate. It took guts to do such a thing, and I for one, commend you for it. And to those who would challenge you for doing so, I would simply remind them that that is what I have served my entire carreer to protect and defend. I have been shot, and I have killed, simply to defend your right, and the rights of others worldwide to play the Devil's advocate without fear of retribution.

i recall a few times as a marine in vietnam when we used air force "spooky gunships" sometimes known as "puff the magic dragon" for support at night during some tight spots.  One night in particular they stayed with our company all night  flying in circles above our perimeter raining a solid wall of fire from their mini-guns preventing us from being overrun which was very likely as we were pretty outnumbered.   Funny how I never once thought about them being lower class or lazy or anything like that.  Worked with an army ranger capt. on a combined operation with some popular forces...very very gutsy guy...nope..no low class there.  Worked with good men from 1st arm cav and shared a perimeter...had to trust them...they had enough class for that.  Had lots of navy close air support...no question about the class there...top notch.   Of course navy corpsmen are the classiest of all.  So I don't have much use for childish comparisons and talk about who is better...unless i'm having a beer and joking with my former airborne buddies.  I respect and admire them all.\n\nAMEN Drew

It is where he will go to be trained for his MOS which is his job, his specialty. Here is a link that will list a whole bunch of MOS's and where the schools for them are located. http://www.marinemoms.us/USMC/usmc-mos.asp\n\nSemper Fi! By the way please tell him thank you for serving! oh and get in good by impressing him. Let him know  that you know tomorrow, November 10th is the Marine Corps 231st birthday. I make a Marine Corps birthday cake for hubby every year!

Disobey an order because its unlawful, yeah I did that twice both in a theatre of combat.  One was to refuse medical attention to an enemy combatant, the guy had been shot in the face and had his lower jaw in his hand.  We were told to just let the guy go and bleed out basically, we called a corpsman over though to give the guy something for his pain, he later died and me and another guy got yelled at for like 5 minutes and that was about it.  The only other time was some BS that involved a land mine a guy brought to us, I still to this day dont know if the SSgt was joking or not when he told us to have the guy jump on it to see if it was live.

Dogfire:\n\nYou need to be commended for being honest. A lot of guys will follow orders but not say what they are REALLY thinking for fear of retailiation from other troops, commanders, society, etc. So, here's what you might want to consider. I think you should go back because you made the commitment to do so and you'd look like a traitor if you didn't. However, the truly patriotic thing to do is to speak up, let the world know exactly how you feel AS A SOLDIER about what is happening. Make your feelings known. Go back, do your job, but be a patriot: a true patriot in a democratic society will challenge the status quo, will question authority, will speak up when things seem wrong. That is the RIGHT thing to do...fulfill your commitment, but make your voice heard, doing so will bring you dignity, integrity, and admiration.

Navy. My grand father was in the marines then got out because he did not like it and went to the navy. He loved it so much he retired from the Navy.

Go with what your heart feels. If you think that joining the National Guard is what you want to do and it makes you happy, then join. I love it.
