It depends on what kind of training/job field you're looking at. I believe that the Navy provides better training for it's people than the Army does. Then again if you score high enough on the ASVAB the Army can get in good training too. Just remember depending on the job you choose that will ultimately answer your question.

I would say that the best program for college is the Navy's Seaman-to-Admiral program.  You would have to come into the Navy as an enlisted person.  Then apply for the program.  Once accepted you go to, what is affectionately called "Fork and Knife" school to learn to be an officer.  After that, you head to your college where you complete your Bachelor's degree.  The Navy pays for ALL of your Tuition and Books.  The Navy pays you your Basic Pay, Housing Pay and Comrats (food pay).  You finish your degree and bingo bango bongo, you're an officer.

Follow your heart, young man. Of course, give the choice plenty of thought and think about it from all angles. After you graduate, if it still looks like the right choice for you, by all means go for it. I would also suggest looking at the other services and comparing your options. \n\nMy parents made me do the same thing but it didn't matter to \nme. I knew by the time I was maybe 10 that I wanted to be a Marine. I enlisted and served proudly, and would do it again.

Join the armed forces.

British Army is a good choice but it's tough so you need to be sure you can hack it. On the plus side it recruits from all over the world i.e. Nepal and The Caribbean to name two.\nYes I imagine you would get citizenship after your service too as most the over seas soldiers do. As for equipment we don't have nearly the amount the Americans spend on their military but we make up for that in training, versatility and toughness. \nThe British Army is the best trained and motivated army in the world!

all have there benefits and disadvantages the Army and the Marines have the exact same training but it takes longer in the Marines.  I am in the Army and love it, but it all depends on what he wants to do.  I joined the Army because I wanted to be an MP because that is the closest I can get to the front "lines" it also depends if he wants to stay for life or not the Navy has a lot of jobs that will get you some really good jobs in the civilian world both are very noble.  It also depends on dose he want a job where he is going to get dirty or dose he want to be clean pressed and shined.  He should get the ASVAB book and take the test to see what he qualifies for before he talks to a recruiter so he knows exactly what he wants not what the recruiter wants him to be.  When I saw the recruiter I told him I want to be an MP and I know what I need to score on the test and where I want to be stationed can you give me that, if he had said no I would have walked out of his office.  I am actually looking in to the navy at the moment because I want to go active duty and having been active duty army I think my attitude is better suited to the navy.  both are great he just needs to do the research before the goes to the recruiter, I think there are better bonuses for the army but if money is not the issue no one can really tell him what is better he just needs figure out exactly what he wants before he goes to talk to any one about it

It all depends on what you are interested in doing.  Each branch of the US military has it's ups and downs.\n\nUS Marines - are tough but well respected.\nUS Army - fast promotions but some of their living conditions on the installations need work.\nUS Navy - lots of interesting ports to visit but spend lots of time at sea away from family.\n\nUS Air Force - good balance of promotions, work environment and base support services.  Housing for the AF is for the most part good.

a lot of these answers are great just to stress on a few get some college first and you will have a higher rank when joining. If you can't. just be prepared to be broken and rebuilt they will break you down and rebuild you into a soldier.  Your life will revolve around the USMC you can't come and go as you please it is up to your ranking officer. I think the Army is a little slacker and not as tuff as the USMC both are standing for your country which is a great honor make sure you pick the job you want when you sign up because it is hard as hell to change once you sign those papers.  Basic training and  the schooling after sucks you do stupid jobs like kitchen duty and detail work.  Defiantly start running/  it is up and at um every morning for PT during your first 6 months to a year.  Lots of push ups and sit ups.  But you build great bonds and great friendships and you make it into what you want it can be the best experience or the worst it is all up to you!\n\nProud to be an American

I was an Air Force guy but I think of the Marines as more of an offensive group while the army is more of a defender. If you plan on joining, the Navy offers the most money for college (MGIB and kickers) and the Air Force has an accredited college that you actually earn credits while in that transfer. The marines and army see the most action but I would only choose them if that's what your into. Navy and AF offer more for the future to me.

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.

Air Force. The Air Force is the more technical of the brances and rely on computers to run their very foundation. Plus they treat there personel better. Better living arrangements, food, spousal support, etc. Good luck with what you choose.

The Army is a chosen profession, you probably signed with different expectations of what army life would be.\nYou should stay in the army if you think that is the job for you.  There is no shame in changing careers.

If you don't want to have to do anything the military is about, join the peace corps.  No branch will wait on you hand and foot, like you seem to expect.

Joining as a medical assistant is probably one of the better branches to join although qualifications and job are not really comparable to a nurse or paramedic. The first year or so in training is nothing like serving with the fleet so if you join dont expect to see much of the real navy until you get on a ship. If you can stand it its a great experience and you will get to do and see things that you would never get a chance to do otherwise.

I would go into the army AFTER, not before.  The army is not like college and you can not change your mind or branch of service as easily as you can change colleges.  If you get your degree you will go into the army and THEN decide about officer training.  If you are serious about your major you would be a great asset to the army after you have been educated.     You are wrong about not qualifying for scholarships as a transfer student,  talk to the college you want to attend.  If you want Columbia, try for it.  The worst they can say is no, but you might be surprised.  Do not plan your future without absolute facts.
