Recruiters have a job to do and most are very good at it, the question you need to ask yourself (assuming you ask this question from talking to a few then you are considering joining the Service) Is which branch of the service is right for you. Because you will be in that branch if you enlist for 2 to 4 years and your recruiter will be long gone. And the best way to decide what branch is right for you is ask yourself what do you want to get out of the Military. Money for Education? A career? or what ever that may be and see which one can offer you what you are looking for because once you enlist you belong to them. So we hope you get what it is you are looking for in the long run. I do believe in the military and was in the Air Force for 6 years with no regrets. Good luck to you.

What branch?  The army, I'm assuming.  If you do join, you will go to war with the army.  My fiance is in the navy.  That is the only branch, other than the air force, that is over there on volunatry basis only.  He loves the navy, and ships out in October again.  If you do join, join active duty, not the reserves.  You do not qualify for the benefits and pay if you join the reserves.  With active duty, you get great medical and dental, as well as better pay, and you qualify for combat pay, hardship pay, etc.  Since you are a female, I reccommend the navy.  My sister was in the navy, my dad the army, and my grandfather the marines, my uncle the air force.  I am from a military family, and I think the military is a great thing.  I would reccommend getting a degree first, though, because if you do, you will go in as an officer, with more rights and better pay.  Some cons are being away from your family.  There aren't really that many cons in my opinion.  When joining, you are serving your country.  With the military, you are financially secure and, if you choose to stay in, there are great retirement benefits.  This is a life-changing decision, and a very difficult one to make.  I wish you all the best, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  Good Luck!!

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 would say join the armed forces and find out, preferably in your own country.

join the marines if you want to, nothing bad about that. realize, you will be put into harms way and at times it will suck, but at times it was worth it.

No they wont accept you...you have to be of sound mind and physically fit in order to join any component of the United States Military Forces....they do an In-processing physical if you pass the ASVAB test....and if they find any thing that could hinder your performance as a soldier, navy, marines, air force...they will not let you in..alot of reasons behind it...but one is ...You could be out in combat and because of your physical handicap..it could cost u ur life and your fellow soldiers.....another is...If  you have a physical problem before you enlist...the military does not want to have to pay to repair it....that's why they have the In-processing physical....and when you retire or resign your enlistment they have an OUT-processing physical as well.....Alot of recruiters will help you if you really want to join....I am DEAF of the left ear...and I got 3 Division Generals to sign a waiver and let me into the U.S. Army...so if you're THAT determined....get a recruiter that will really work with you..in my situation they classifed me under a code that meant I couldnt be out in combat...but in combat support...its under the PULSES....of your  military record...Good Luck...and its admirable that you want to join

Well, you have to be fit, physically and mentally for starters. If deciding to enlist, go 18X. Have a good asvab score, not everyone can get special ops like that..... if that wasnt the case, like the devildogg said, go infantry, they will ask for volunteers for either rangers or airborne, take it, then later on, you can put in a request for selection, pass that and your in...... i tell you that rangers is more hardcore physically, but green berets is more mental.....

Have a look on here - www.army.mod.uk\n\nIt will give information about joining and the addresses of the recruiting offices and then you will need to speak to them.

First off, don't listen to the recruiter, they are there just for one purpose...to get people to join.\n\nYou have to make the decision yourself, so it is whatever time you think is best...at least consider about three month or longer...what ever you feel comfortable with.  You are the one to have to live with your decision.\n\nConsider other branches...what do you want to learn, what sort of job do you want to do?  Think very carefully about your decision.

That depends on you.  Do you feel that the Army, or any other branch of the military, can help you in your endeavors?  The military has a lot to offer, and you can take it far.  The military, however, is also not for everyone.  There can be long hours, but we have a lot of time off for that.  You could be sent to war, or not.  \n\nYou need to get all the information you can get, and be honest with yourself about the reasons you are joining.  Read the material, don't just look it over.  Ask people who judgment you trust.  See if there are people in your area that are in the Army, and ask them.  REMEMBER, tho, there are always people that aren't happy with what they are doing.  Some people like the military way of life, others don't.\n\nLife is full of decisions.  Unfortunately, this is one decision that YOU have to make.

The military is great for some people, and totally disasterous for others. If you have a problem with authority, and get into trouble at every chance you get, the military is not for you. You need to be able to follow the rules, and if you can't it will not be a good experience.\nI joined the Air Force right after HS, and I am deployed to Iraq right now. In my personal opinion, the Air Force is the best route to take, period. The other military branches get treated like crap, and many people usually try to switch to the Air Force. It is very rare to meet someone who left the Air Force for another branch.\nHowever, this choice MUST be made by you. Talk to ALL the recruiters, not just one branch. Then research them online yourself to verify everything that they told you.\nThe military isn't for everyone, but it will be a great expericence if you get a good job, and take advantage of all the opportunities that are out there.\nIf you have any further questions, feel free to email me: mfred987  at yahoo.

Call your local recruiter...but try to decide what you want to do in the NAVY before you go in..they tend to push you in one direction...however, I loved it....

You can almost always get a waiver!!! Join the USMC and become a member of the few and the proud... You will gain poise, confidence, and skills that will last you a lifetime. Good luck

Your # 1 answer is the best way to go, just make sure you want the military, boot camp isn't like living at home you can't just say I ain't going to do that because I don't want to. BAD MOVE. Don't go just for the uniform because it looks cool, go because it is what you want.

you can go into special forces..... from the navy if you have the balls.... but you can learn so many things... my advice would be to go to a recruiting office and ask them to explore your options with you.
