Three squares a day.  Plenty of exercise.  Lotsa fresh air.  Free uniforms.  Free training.  A reasonably good salary.  Free medical and dental.  And, if you are real lucky you will stay stateside after basic training and not have anyone trying to shoot your sorry ass.

Enlist in a branch of the military, especially the army and ask your recruiter.

Not in the AF, but am in the Navy for the past 10 years. \n\nThe pros of joining the Air Force is that, you have a really easy and laid back job. Won't lie to you. The basic training (know known as BLT Basic Leadership training) for air force enlistment is also SOOOO very easy. You have to run 2 miles to pass and in order to join. How difficult is that? as in any branch of the military, you can enjoy traveling the world on the miltary expense, and you can meet new and interesting people. People who will become apart of your family, and when in times of need they'll always be there for you. There is no such thing as an enemy in the military, you may not like someone, but they'll always be on your back for your well being. Also you don't have to worry about housing, insurance or any of that, its all covered for, if you decide to buy a house, the AF will finance your house, and you also get very decent rates. I just bought a house with about 5.87% interest rates, when the average rate right now is over six. There are perks, like being able to go to theme parks for free, or very discounted prices. \n\nThe con's of being in any service branch is being away from your intermediate families for lengths of time. Thats about it, and well, working 8-5. sometimes training goes a little over, but i'm sure you'll be able to do it. \n\nTake the ASVAB test, to see what you score, you'll have a lot more options then. \n\nIf you have any questions please feel free to email me. \n\nI'm not a recruiter for the USAF, but I can help you with anything general.

The US Air Force was the first service to get better pay, better housing and better everything for its members. You can't go wrong with the USAF. Had considered it myself when I was 17, but I wanted to be a US Army Ranger. Now, more than 18 years later, I am still here. Now I am a First Sergeant for an armor company of M1A2 SEP Main Battle Tanks.\n Good Luck with your choice. Talk to a recruiter or check out www.af.mil

depends on preference, and what exactly you plan to do once out of the military.\n\nWhen you join the service, you want to try to get a job that interests you, something you would like to do the rest of your life.  This isnt saying you should be in military for your entire life, but military experiance in a job field carries a LOT of wieght for companies hiring.\n\nPick a job field you want, then check to see which service offers you the most for your time.

Economically, it makes great sense.  You'll have to go to Basic Training (not a big deal) and then AIT (even easier, where you learn your job).  All you have to do is apply to a college and you'll be able to do them simultaneously.  You could try an ROTC scholorship and skip the Guard, but you can do both!  My buddy did that and had enough extra money during college to buy a car, I still had a bike.  The National Guard is cool because it's not just "go to Iraq and die" like uneducated people think, you get to help out your local community in times of crisis.  If you're willing to spend a couple of months learning to be a team player and shoot a rifle, it's worth it.

the sign on bonus goes by rate (or job) you choose in the military.\nthe national guard is a reserve branch and you will get paid reservist pay.\nyou get paid by rank in the military.  you get more money for housing (which goes by where you are stationed), food, bonuses, time-in-rate (the longer you are in the more money you make), being married, have kids, etc.\nas an e-3 active duty with one kid not married max taxes i bring home about 2500 dollars a month after taxes.  i got a 8000 bonus and when you get a sign on bnus you have to agree to staying in an extra year.\ngo to navy.mil and search for basic pay to get pay rates for all ranks.

It really depends what you want to do.\n\nThe Marines are the most physical, tough and are sometimes the greatest effected by joining.\n\nThe Army is ground and usually fight with the Marines.\n\nThe Marines is also part of the Navy which go over seas, on various vessels for long periods of time.  They tend to see more of the world.  Usually, they sailors go out for six-nine months and then get to stay in the states for about the same amount of time until being deployed again.\n\nThe Coast Guard won't get involved in major warfare and are usually the ones busting drug rings around the south coast!  And also the ones that handle the refugees from Cuba.\n\nDo your own investigating (each branch has a website) and see what fits best for you.  Or even go to your local recruitment center and pick up packets from each branch before making your decision. \n\nAnd good luck!

It depends on your reasons for joining and what you want out of your enlistment. I joined the Airforce, and one of my first  duty stations was a joint-service enviornment. I made many great Marine friends and drinking buddies while there and often wished that I had joined the USMC due to what I percieved as their lack of political BS compared to the Airforce, as well as their strong comradery. However many of those Marines wished that they had joined the Airforce because we get better living conditions and services, some Devil Dogs I knew even switched over to the AF after their enlistment was over. Both services have their benefits and downfalls, it just depends on you and your personality. If you want to be hardcore and kill the enemy with your own rifle, join the Marines. If you want to keep the enemy from killing Marines and gain a skill to used afterwards, join the Airforce. Of course you could "combine" the two and become AF Special forces...http://www2.afsoc.af.mil/

The National Guard, regardless of branch or state, all have the same benefits.  The "best" benefits come from living in a state that you have chosen to call home.

Go Coast Guard.  It's the best kept military secret.  If I could do it again, I would join the Coast Guard (CG).\n\nThe CG gets the same basic pay, retirement, and other benefits as the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine.\n\nThe CG has the best training and future civilian job advantages than any other service.  Also, the CG has the best quality of life (the Air Force is number 2).\n\nThe only major difference is that Coast Guard is under Homeland Security.  Whereas the other services is under the Defense Department.
