It I were to go into the armed forces (I won't, but that's besides the fact) then I'd go into the air force (if my eyes weren't so bad.

17 is a bit young to go into any part of the armed forces. some  hate it and get out only to rejoin again a few years later. I would say that 21 or 22 is a good age to join. You will be treated  more like an adult as so you will get promoted a bit fasted. Joining at 17 is just like wasting 3 or 4 years of you 22 year carear.

(i am assuming you are from the United States)  depends on what you are skilled in and what you are interested in.  the military will look at your strengths and weaknesses and train you for what you're good for.  If you are extremely intelligent don't be surprised if you get a desk job.  in the army or marines you'll probably become a foot soldier or a tank operator or something, but you may also be trained in helicopter flight.  the Airforce will likely have you as a aircraft mechanic but there is a small chance of becoming a pilot (less than 7% in the Airforce fly, i think).  If you want to join the military but want to be safe as possible, join the Navy.  those ships we got are pretty safe considering all the wars the US is in is with terrorists in mountains, not against countries with a well developed Navy.  these are just suggestions of things to look into.  basically just go into whatever branch that can help you build your strengths.  sorry for the lengthy post.

It has to be the Army. They are the first of the four branches. They have also been in the most conflicts, and are also the largest of the four. But when it comes down to it, they are all equally important and all have an impressive history behind them. I have my bias because I'm in the Army, but if you were to go by just pure stats the Army has it, but sheer numbers, years and number of campaigns participated in.\n\nI've included a website if you would like to research it a little more.

You will get basic discipline out of it from your schedules.  Waking up early, getting certain things done in a short amount of time.  Keeping your area within certain specs.  You learn to be more aware of yourself.  Depending on your tech school (career choice), you may get more discipline there.  Security forces is a little tougher.  Para jumpers will have more.  I think that you can make the right moves to make you more disciplined.  The Air Force is definitely more geared towards brain than brute however.

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!

You should log onto www.armycadets.com.   This will give you a good idea of what it is like, where they are etc.   It is a good idea to try it out in the cadets to see if you enjoy it before you join the armed forces, as there are no strings attached, and if you don't like it then you have not committed to anything big.

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

Here's a start:\n\nhttp://usmilitary.about.com/od/armyjoin/a/armymilacademy.htm?...+admission.   But, the guys above are correct.

Regardless of the political ramifications of joining the armed forces in a time of conflict, the experience can be very rewarding if you go in for the right reasons.\n\nYou'll need to evaluate the reasons of why you want to do this and balance it against other important relationships and plans for the future.\n\nIf you're running away from problems, it's not a good reason to go...they'll still be there when you return.\n\nOn the other hand, if you see this as a path to bettering yourself and taking yourself to the limit, I can think of no better choice.  It will truly make a man of you....get what you can out of the experience.\n\nMost importantly.....come home alive.  I'm sure there are people who would deeply regret your loss of life.\n\nIn peace....

My recommendation would be this.  Go to each of the armed services recruiters and talk with them.  Before you go, write down exactly what it is you want from the military, i.e. job, benefits, etc.  Second, take someone with you, preferably someone older than you like a parent, grandparent or aunt/uncle.  Tell that person you do not want to make a decision right now, you want to find out as much as you can, before you make a decision.  Ask that person to intercede if the recruiter starts pushing you towards making a decision.\n\nRecruiters are taught methods and questions to use that will get you thinking along their lines.  I know I worked with them before and saw/used many of them.  Once you have all of your questions answered, leave.  Thank the person for their time and leave.  Do not make a decision until you have talked to each of the four branches.

You cannot have a go-between. If you want to enlist in the British Armed forces (British Army, Royal Air Force or Royal Navy) then you need to go to a Armed Forced Recruiting office. You will be interviewed by a recruiting Serjeant and if deemed suitable you will have to undergo various written tests at a recruiting office. After this for men and women joining the Army you then have a "sponsoring regiment" who you will join after completion of basic training with the Army Training Regiment at one of the basic training depots such as Pirbright or Deepcut. After basic training you move to your regiment and complete your training in the specialist role such as Infantry, Engineers, Artillery etc.\n\nCheck out the service website for the nearest recruiting office or to talk online with a recruiting officer:\n\nhttp://www.armyjobs.mod.uk/\nhttp://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server.php?show=nav.4003\nhttp://www.rafcareers.com/

as far as QOL is concerned, the Navy and AF are pretty comperable, although there will always be those that prefer one over the other.  \n\nBe aware that it's EXTREMELY hard to get into the AF right now, even through Interservice transfer, as the AF is more overmanned than the Navy is, and unless his Rating/NECs translate directly into a much needed AF equivalent, he may have a rough time being able to swap services.

Very good outfit to get into, better then regular airforce.
