Fook the ARMY, I hated it so much!. What a failed business system of the military, a cringe, goofy, childish, low quality, try hard military branch. Glad I got out, no regrets. I didn't even finished basic.
@@SuperEman500 see I would but I'm already physically incompetent so the marine training is gonna be a challenge. Perhaps later in my career I could do something like that although I already wanna do marsoc rn
Nope won't happen, no combat ships just satellites firing from one side of Earth to the other, and take out your reflection panels, which will cause your ship to overheat and cook everyone inside
Alma Zavala I disagree. I feel like ODST could become a real thing. It is really practical to have troops deploy within the hour if the situation calls for it. We also have the technology to have pods drop from space and land on Earth.
I served 20 years in the Navy, and loved every second of it. If I hadn’t failed my flight physical, I would of stayed in. I was smart with my money, and fully retired at age 38 and haven’t worked a day in 14 years.
@@Stoneman39488 I scored high on my ASVAB so I basically had my choice of rate(job) in the Navy. I came from a family that worked in the aviation industry both military and civilian. So sticking to my family’s tradition my 2 top choices were AW and AC. I got AW and because I was a strong, fast swimming I was a Navy SAR Swimmer. Best job ever! I would have be happy with AC but wouldn’t be as fun as AW.
20 year Air Force retiree here. Never got shot at, never slept in the dirt and never ate a single MRE. Got my own dorm room to my self without a roommate. I deployed to Italy 3 times, stayed in a 5 star hotel, got $80 a day in per diem and a free rental car. Air Force gets by far the most money from the government so Air Force folks have the best facilities and are treated the best. The chow halls are amazingly good compared to other branches, almost as good as a restaurant.
The Air Force is kind of picky about who they hire and keep. They prefer collage grads in good physical shape even for the enlisted positions for good reason. The trade off. Maybe you could do just as well or better in the civilian world if you have a STEM degree. Note: Less than 15% manage to climb to the 20-yr military retirement platform.
@@77space-vt8wi Correct, the Air Force has the highest standards because they treat you the best. Most people join other branches because they couldn't meet the AF standards for enlistment. When I joined all you needed was a GED, no college, and that hasn't changed in 2024. If you meet all the requirements they'll let you join. It's black and white, you either qualify or you don't. College degrees don't determine if you can join the AF or not. Unless you have at least a BA most people won't do as well in the private sector compared to the AF. My son's been in the AF for 3 years. He makes $62,300 a year or over $30 an hour, he has full medical and full dental for 100 kids if he chooses to have that many, and the job security is the nearly the best in the country.
@@homiesenatep I was honestly surprised army is 3 I heard they have the worst. I heard the Navy was pretty good aswell the ship seems alright except for the rocking and small quaters
@@homiesenatep a lot of Sailors are stuck on the ships to live there 24/7 in home port. When that happens that can turn a livable ship into a construction zone nightmare. People pass out from little to no ventilation in areas of the ship. No water for showering or drinking, dirty bathrooms, fire zones and stuff like that. I’ve lived in it 2X and I was either living in my car to get away from it, getting a hotel or crashing with a buddy. I had a barracks at one point but it was condemned shortly after due to asbestos, and low inhabitable standards. When I made enough rank, I did rent an apartment but you may need approval from your command. A lot of different experiences for sure.
If I were going to join the military, I'd probably join Airforce even though I feel like not getting deployed would take away from the "military" feel. Almost makes me want to look into the army..
Depending on your job in the airforce, you can deploy a lot. Especially maintainers or load masters, my friend was a load masters and was away for over 300 days a year.
If you are on a flight crew you will get plenty of travel. AF definitely lives better than the others. I was an Army helicopter pilot. 3 years active and 26 Reserve and National Guard. Our “travel” was 2 weeks annual training in a hot, humid, Army post named after a Confederate General😂. My friend was a Load Master on an AF C-130 and flew to Italy, Spain and other places that people actually WANT to go. Army pilots are lucky to catch a ride in the back of a 2 1/2 ton truck from the flight line. The Air Force has crew busses. The AF treats their aviators like royalty. The Army, not so much.
Same, on one hand I’m pretty smart and that could help me in the future after and during Air Force, on the other hand I would love the adrenaline stuff and fighting in the marines
@@giovanniquezada1758 if you want the adrenaline go Army, try getting into Ranger or if that is too much try getting into a unit that deploys a lot, the marines aren't seeing any combat, neither the navy because the war is over, the only ones seeing action right now are the Army and I would guess air force special warfare because they work with the army on ground combat
I'm the same. I'm looking to join the military once I graduate. I'm not sure if I want to join the Air Force or Marines. They're both appealing to me but they seem pretty different.
I remember that, if a place doesn't meet minimum Air Force standards, you got some kind of monthly supplement. That rule doesn't apply if you're deployed. The Army guys always loved AF Chow as well.
I feel like the Army is the best for balanced individuals who prefer a little bit of everything. I feel like this is the best summarization Marines=Maximized combat scenarios Navy=Maximized travel opportunities AirForce= Maximized technical skills for civil life. CG= Between travel and life skills. Army= A little bit of everything
@@CosmicLogic-ts5vr the vietnam war peaked in 1969[nice] everyone who graduated high school would get drafted into the military. then died in vietnam so if you graduated in 1968, you would get drafted, and then die in 1969. so the joke is that if you happen to be of age, your preferred branch would be none, since all result in death.
You should probably break down the special operations opportunities in each branch as well. There are quite a alot of them and they operate differently than a normal unit.
@@camtaylor593 Considering signing bonuses, they don't make more money. Maybe if your signing bonus is less than the couple years of BSA, they'll make more
Jordan Stacey why, the Air Force and Navy are the first in to any conflict now, marines don't even land until just about the war is over? In 2020 I heard the AF was changing their motto from Aim High to first in, so others may live.
Migosami there respected but I'm here to tell you no one in any other branch feels second rate standing next to a marine. To be honest from my experiences they feel a whole lot smarter.
Because people wish, in hindsight that they had known about the CG before they joined another branch. The CG is full of people who served in other branches, yet nobody leaves the CG to join any other branch.
Mik Ayala not so much that, since a lot of people aren't even thinking about "quality of life" or transferable skills. I think a lot of people join the army simply because they don't know enough about the other branches (and there still isn't a whole lot of crowdsourced clear detail put in perspective about them) and that the army is the easiest and fastest to join due to it having the lowest enlistment standards (a lot of people wanted to join in a hurry and couldn't qualify for the other branches anyway)
mac burger the army just has a lot more jobs and it’s only low requirements for the lower end jobs but if you want something cool you need a lot more to get the job you want
Geralt of Rivia The army does have swimming but only for the combat MOS’s. Infantry now does the 22-week OSUT which involves a swimming course opposing to their, previous, 14-week basic training.
I joined the AF in 1963, probably many decades before you were born. Interestingly, I would agree with the majority of your assessment on the various services. I spent 20 years in the AF working in signal intelligence. Many of my assignments were at locations that did not even have airfields. I traveled extensively, and ended up in locations most people never heard of. I also did several assignments with Army, Navy and on occasion Marines on their bases/facilities that did the same type of intelligence work. I thank my lucky stars that I chose the AF. While in the AF, I obtained an Associate of Science degree from the Community College of the AF (a great opportunity and benefit). After 20 years in the AF and retiring 37 years ago I went to get a BSEE and an MBA using my GI benefits. What I've learned in my life is that there will be buttholes in the military and civilian life as well. Ignore them and press on. If they are you superior in the military, just do what you have to do to stay out of trouble. Eventually either you or the other person will move on and the problem is gone. In the civilian world, there are usually opportunities elsewhere. My take on the military branches goes like this; the Army and Navy are administered as you would expect most traditional military organizations to be, the Marine Corps is more like a cult, and the AF is run more like a corporation. I'm not sure what to make of the Coasties. Never had much contact with them. I do know that in times of war they become part of the Navy. In fact maybe they are now and no longer part of the Treasury Department?
I want to be a navy because my cousin can’t join it’s his dream but he has autism,and also my family was in the military but none where in the navy Grandpa and dad:air force Uncle and Great grandpa: marine My Moms mom and dad:army
Air Force takes top honors for living conditions. On a deployment with two Air Force guys, 82 Marines and Sailors stayed in lare double wall tents in Tamp during the summer. The AC units they used were so good you had to use an extended cold weather sleeping system to survive the cold. The Marines and Sailors were pretty happy with that. The two Air Force guys had one of those tents to themselves, and were given hardship duty pay for that. Had those been GP tents I would not have been surprised, but we got great tents to stay in during the job project.
Army: lots of opportunities and sfs Marine: if u like tough challenge Air force: if u are good with technology Navy: if u like water and travel Coast guard: if u want really chill life, this is for you.
A small correction: * USCG : For those looking for a medical/enforcement job after military service due to the strong USCG background of being a rescue and enforcement branch.
My son, if he survived a terrible auto accident he would have join the USAF. I know he would have loved it. God bless and thank you so much for your service. ❤
Husband served in the army for 3 years. We’ve been talking about it for months about me enlisting since it was my original life plan out of high school. Was trying to choose between navy and Air Force and think I’ve decided Air Force. 🏅
I'd imagine that in Air Force you'd probably have more time for family since your deployments would be shorter (at most six months compared to at least nine months in Army) and you would't have to go to the field as often (if at all) and if you do go to the field you probably wouldn't be staying in the woods for as long (I doubt most Air Force people who go to the field would have to stay there for at least half a month at a time like Army soldiers do). So the Air Force might be a good choice. You just have to get past the recruiter. Of course you can always do guard or reserves if you don't want to do active duty. Keep in mind that if you do Army guard/reserves, you would still deploy for the same length of time as active duty Army (again, at least nine months). You probably know all this already though. Good luck.
The Navy can be rewarding if you’re single young , that makes living on a ship more tolerable. It’s real important to get a job your interested in because if your in something you hate you will struggle on deployment, it’s 12 on 12 of at least.
I want to join for IT but im hearing it's harder to obtain one of those jobs and the people at MEPS will persuade you to get another type of job (whatever suits the navy)
The living conditions part had me dying but I love your honesty, I know some air men dont like admitting that they live in royalty compared to Marines. Ive been forced to stay in condemned barracks for training hahahahah good times.
Awesome. Coast guard interests me the most but I'm not a great swimmer. I'd like to try for the new cyber security rate. CG doesn't get enough respect, they deserve it
I got a top secret clearance and when I retired from the Air Force I was able to step right into a management job at the top of my career field solely based on my AF resume.
Marines don’t consider every travel as deployments....a deployment is when you get deployed overseas for over 5 months and a “detachment” is within the states for 5 months or less
Thank you for this! I’m still deciding between joining the Air Force (since I took up AFJROTC in hs) or Navy (because my dad and many other relatives are veterans). I love the opportunities of the Air Force but, I treasure how much I got to travel and move around the world being a navy brat.
I was in the same spot as you and I took AF cause I didint' want to be single and its just easier than being in the navy anyways hope you choose what you think is right
That Contra Guy yeah, there is where I used to live at. I’m planning on joining soon after I’m done with college (I’m in the medical Lab sci field) + I still wanna continue into becoming a doctor once I join though
Why i want to join the military: for most of my life i feel like i haven't made a difference, that i haven't amounted to anything and believe that i couldn't become someone. I felt like my life has no purpose and there was nothing i could do, but the idea of the military changed that for me, it made me feel like i could help my country, help me mentally, and make something out of my life instead of a nobody playing video games in there late 30's. I want to help people, i have experienced a lot of losses in my life, my mother at age 13, my grandpa at age 11, my grandmother at age 17, i was powerless to help them while they were suffering from cancer and other illnesses, my devotion to help people and make a difference is why i choice to join the army
Air Force us obviously the best branch. Branches like the Marines are for people that like bragging rights. And I can tell, because my cousin joined the Marines and became a major dickhead. They brained washed him into thinking he's a super soldier. I still love him to death, but those are just facts.
@@prdarkfirecaro5583 what am I making up? Please tell me. All I said was your envy was showing. Let's look at facts. A Marine graduate can be inserted into an infantry unit and function. What can an air force graduate do? Why does the air force have to add "combat" to all their unit desigations? The 335 COMBAT Keyboard Repair Squadron. Alpha/1/3, Charlie/1/9, Fox/2/5, all Marine Infantry units who's sole purpose is combat. Speaking of combat, when was the last time yiu were out in the field refreshing your combat skills? I could go on but why bother?
I was in the Navy. Living conditions on ships are the worst. If you are on shore duty it is great and you can go home everyday. Instructor duty is the best job in the Navy.
🏅going Army! Love how in every topic you brought up they may not have been the best but they were always in contention for top 3. Consistency is always nice
@_-___-_ if you’re crazy enough look into EOD. It’s an amazing experience. I’m still in trading with about 6 months to go but there’s no other job like it plus you get to work along side SF
Same! So hard to choose between the practicality and transferable skills you can gain in the AF, and pride of becoming part of one of America's best fighting forces.
Coast guard is actually a department of the navy during war time, and their experience on the water may not be war but they do travel to high risk areas especially in South America which can cause combat scenarios between drug rings, hostile locals and such.
Living conditions on navy deployment are way better than army. Sometimes in the army you don’t even get 3 meals. Atleast in the navy you have access to the galley on ship.
I like the new style. Maybe switch it up based on how factual vs how opinion based the content is? The only thing with this video I disagree with is the civilian equivalent jobs for the Navy being so low. Much of the Navy is either mechanical or electronic or both. Those skills are transferable to a ton of civilian sector jobs. Especially nukes.
Christian Wood When you’re looking at potential jobs you have to factor in signing bonus, reenlistment bonus, ease of advancement, civilian markability, day-to-day life and more. Do NOT pick a job simply because it sounds “cool”. I can tell you right now AECF rate in the Navy is offering 20K right now.
I’ve been researching the enlisting and service process for several years and I wasn’t able to decide whether I wanted Navy or Army. Although I’ve done tons of personal research it’s been very difficult for me, but this video helped me see the big categories and decide what is most important to me. Once I am cleared by my doctor it’s right to the Army for me! 🏅
Congrats, if thats your desc, cool, Armys been known to be the laststop , after the others turned you away.,but they are just as equally impprt ,, good luck soldier enjoy Germany and Korea
I’m aiming for Air Force Pararescue and I definitely think I’m picking the right course. Yes I’m aware it’s a highly selective job like most special warfare jobs but it’s the one I’m aiming for and I may have a chance because right now (according to a CCT friend) the Air Force is treating SR (special reconnaissance) like its baby and they are super focused on getting the best people into SR cause it’s only a few years old. I am relatively physically fit, but stubborn, perhaps a tad arrogant but I have good physical genetics and I keep myself healthy + workout all the time (calisthenics with bar, bands, parallettes) although I don’t know how to swim (yet) and solid proficiency in that is one of the requirements. Hope everyone gets the job they want (if you decide to go in) and the best of luck to everybody
Your assessment reminds me yrs ago when I was still in the Army and decided to change over to the Coast Guard. Sitting in MEPS listening to these kids oorahing and hooahing and talking about how badass they were going to be for their chosen branch. There I was sitting there with my “Hi I’m joining the Coast Guard” sticker badge, the only one that day as it were. Well these kids eventually saw my sticker and unsurprisingly started to berate this choice of branch as I’m sure most could imagine. At the time I was 6 months out from ETS from the Army and assigned in Spec Ops. I was former Infantry with so many identifiers I lost count. Anyways, I said nothing, just reached into my wallet and presented them with my ID card that showed I was a NCO in the Army. After they realized I then asked them “ Now what should that tell you?” They sat down and stayed quiet the rest of time in that room.
When I decided to join (decades ago), I had already talked to many vets and active duty personnel. I knew I didn't want to constantly carry/shoot a gun; wear camo & boots; and was looking at the branch that would give me the best deal in my enlistment contract. I eliminated the army and Marine Corps right away. The Air Force (at that time) didn't have a good promotion record (I saw some retiring at 20 years as an E5) and they wouldn't guarantee me A school. I ended up joining the Navy and getting what I wanted, except duty station). I didn't regret it
@@moldyrefrigerator I'm in the Army myself, but I and many others admit that we did research before we joined, but we didn't have clear information packaged up like some of these videos that have just been available recently. Had we had videos like this then so many of us would have joined the Air Force instead of the Army. If you're somebody who doesn't know which branch to choose, after seeing information like this and getting word from actual people in the Army like myself, then it really should be a no brainer to join the Air Force instead of the Army. We really do have more cons than they and they have more pros than we do.
SilverGunner You’re a gate guard scanning ID’s all day with the occasional excitement of responding to crazy situations on base. Yes there’s opportunities to advance and do cool shit like Raven Unit, K-9 and master-at-arms but that’s *after* spending years doing mind numbing boring stuff along with submitting a request. Also what base you’re stationed at plays a factor as well.
I think the educational benefits vary from branch to branch. It's up to the Secretary of each branch of what they get. When I was in the Marines they paid 75% of TA. When I went into the Air Force they paid 100%. Both required to maintain a C.
A pretty good video overall. My background was as a Marine Infantry GySgt. Now retired. My list included earning dress blues, my DI cover, and seeing combat and did all three. A couple of observations though; First, no one goes right into any of the branch's special ops (and yes each has them, to some degree) you go in to a field, then are screened and if you make it past screening, you go to school. I'd say most of the ops schools have around an 80 to 85% FAIL rate. Second, a lot of recruiters don't tell you, but they guarantee you the school not the job. It's up to you to pass it. If you fail your school, you're not out of your contract, but you may end up learning how to cook for four years. Now in the Navy and Marines (not sure about Army or Air Force) the Marines have what is called B billets, and I think the Navy calls it Neutral and Shore Duty. My two B billets were the Navy Base Rota, Spain, and four years at the Navy Air Station in Bermuda (now closed) While doing those various duties I was able to get a lot of education in as both bases had University of Maryland and City College of Chicago. Overall, my recommendations to youngsters I talk to are 1) Navy, see the world, get a solid job skill, never see front line combat (except for special ops, or those MOST AWESOME Navy Corpsmen assigned to the USMC) 2) Air Force, great everything but limited travel for most, kind of like being a civilian in a lot of ways 3. Marines, I spent over 16 out of 21 years overseas so did some traveling. 4. Army. Similar in many ways to Marines job wise but limited overseas bases to get stationed. As a whole, I would not recommend the Marines unless I personally know you, because even though the retention rate has gotten better I still hate to see youngsters fail. Hope this helps some.
When I tell young people which service to go in I say if there is a conflict in the world who goes in first. Marines go first, then the Army. The Navy will fire from ships and where are the Air Force enlisted people? Waiting for the jets to come back - only officers fly the jets.
I'm in my senior year and I have a recruiter talking to me. I want to join marine corp but I also want to go to college and I want to know if I could do that...
@@nikaawid6052 if you want to go to college while in the military go with a different branch. However if you would like to separate it and just do college after, then any branch is fine.
I’d actually say the Army is more prideful than the Navy. Navy operates multi billion dollar warships hundreds of miles away from the conflict while the army guys are in the fray with nothing but their M4, a stryker, and maybe a Bradley or Abrams if they’re lucky.
The Coast Guard, still a well kept secret hiding in plain sight. So many from other branches re-enlisting in the Coast Guard (If they can, it's much like getting into a good college). So what does that tell you? Maybe they get it right the second time? Even so, it's not for everybody! Having been in the CG, better you get your CG info from someone who has been in the CG. I enlisted 40 yrs ago. From the looks of TH-cam videos, basic training is much easier now (Co-Ed, 8 weeks instead of 12, and more PC). But I suspect the job is harder, now that they have gone from DOT/DD to Homeland Security (Add that to what they were already doing). Salute to this channel, some don't even mention the Coast Guard.
I'm not fit for the Marines yet, and I still have time until I'd have to go to boot camp. The main reason I want to join the Marines is the brotherhood they have. I'm still not 100% sure which branch I'll end up joining, but Marines is high up on that list. I know I want a field in engineering, preferably aviation. Another big reason for me to want to join the Marines is to be able to work on the F-35B. VTOL Fighter Jets are insanely cool to me.
🏅 thank you for all this helpful info! I had been leaning more so towards the AF in the first place and Navy second - sticking to it but now I know there’s MORE opportunities in Army - depending upon the job I want - thank you buddy! ✌🏻
i loved it!! i just wish there was a little more honest opinion. i need the details on if something just sucks yk? was it a very informative video that definitely does help see all sides of thing? absolutely! so thank you for that!
I leave for Army basic training on July 8th, but I’ve been watching your videos for years (since before I even knew for sure I wanted to join). I considered the Air Force and the Marines before deciding on the Army. Thank you for putting your time and effort into your videos this entire time.

@@77space-vt8wi Correct, the Air Force has the highest standards because they treat you the best. Most people join other branches because they couldn't meet the AF standards for enlistment. When I joined all you needed was a GED, no college, and that hasn't changed in 2024. If you meet all the requirements they'll let you join. It's black and white, you either qualify or you don't. College degrees don't determine if you can join the AF or not. Unless you have at least a BA most people won't do as well in the private sector compared to the AF. My son's been in the AF for 3 years. He makes $62,300 a year or over $30 an hour, he has full medical and full dental for 100 kids if he chooses to have that many, and the job security is the nearly the best in the country.

I had a barracks at one point but it was condemned shortly after due to asbestos, and low inhabitable standards. When I made enough rank, I did rent an apartment but you may need approval from your command. A lot of different experiences for sure.
If I were going to join the military, I'd probably join Airforce even though I feel like not getting deployed would take away from the "military" feel. Almost makes me want to look into the army..
Depending on your job in the airforce, you can deploy a lot. Especially maintainers or load masters, my friend was a load masters and was away for over 300 days a year.
devin isaacson what’s your mos
Ciel join the special forces you’ll deploy a lot
If you want combat join as a TACP or CCT
If you are on a flight crew you will get plenty of travel. AF definitely lives better than the others. I was an Army helicopter pilot. 3 years active and 26 Reserve and National Guard. Our “travel” was 2 weeks annual training in a hot, humid, Army post named after a Confederate General😂. My friend was a Load Master on an AF C-130 and flew to Italy, Spain and other places that people actually WANT to go. Army pilots are lucky to catch a ride in the back of a 2 1/2 ton truck from the flight line. The Air Force has crew busses. The AF treats their aviators like royalty. The Army, not so much.
I'm in between Marines and Air Force... Which is weird because they seem to be complete opposites
Same, on one hand I’m pretty smart and that could help me in the future after and during Air Force, on the other hand I would love the adrenaline stuff and fighting in the marines
Giovanni Quezada that is my exact predicament
@@giovanniquezada1758 if you want the adrenaline go Army, try getting into Ranger or if that is too much try getting into a unit that deploys a lot, the marines aren't seeing any combat, neither the navy because the war is over, the only ones seeing action right now are the Army and I would guess air force special warfare because they work with the army on ground combat

I remember that, if a place doesn't meet minimum Air Force standards, you got some kind of monthly supplement. That rule doesn't apply if you're deployed. The Army guys always loved AF Chow as well.

Marine, army, navy or air force. They are all just people, nobody should ever feel second-rate 🤷🏻♂️
The Coast Guard has fewer rates because each rate does more
After this video I really don’t understand why the Coast Guard gets flammed so much...
Because people wish, in hindsight that they had known about the CG before they joined another branch. The CG is full of people who served in other branches, yet nobody leaves the CG to join any other branch.
Because people think CG does nothing. Some need think the Coast Guards are love guards. Even though they're totally different.
I have no idea what I said🤣
Chilled lol
Not everything in this video is accurate, Trust me.
I guess more people join the army because the army has a balance of everything?
Mik Ayala
not so much that, since a lot of people aren't even thinking about "quality of life" or transferable skills. I think a lot of people join the army simply because they don't know enough about the other branches (and there still isn't a whole lot of crowdsourced clear detail put in perspective about them) and that the army is the easiest and fastest to join due to it having the lowest enlistment standards (a lot of people wanted to join in a hurry and couldn't qualify for the other branches anyway)
Personally I plan on joining because of the variety in MOS
i want to join the army because i can’t swim. i’ve been trying to learn for years, since i was small, and nothing works
mac burger the army just has a lot more jobs and it’s only low requirements for the lower end jobs but if you want something cool you need a lot more to get the job you want
Geralt of Rivia The army does have swimming but only for the combat MOS’s. Infantry now does the 22-week OSUT which involves a swimming course opposing to their, previous, 14-week basic training.
I joined the AF in 1963, probably many decades before you were born. Interestingly, I would agree with the majority of your assessment on the various services. I spent 20 years in the AF working in signal intelligence. Many of my assignments were at locations that did not even have airfields. I traveled extensively, and ended up in locations most people never heard of. I also did several assignments with Army, Navy and on occasion Marines on their bases/facilities that did the same type of intelligence work. I thank my lucky stars that I chose the AF. While in the AF, I obtained an Associate of Science degree from the Community College of the AF (a great opportunity and benefit). After 20 years in the AF and retiring 37 years ago I went to get a BSEE and an MBA using my GI benefits. What I've learned in my life is that there will be buttholes in the military and civilian life as well. Ignore them and press on. If they are you superior in the military, just do what you have to do to stay out of trouble. Eventually either you or the other person will move on and the problem is gone. In the civilian world, there are usually opportunities elsewhere. My take on the military branches goes like this; the Army and Navy are administered as you would expect most traditional military organizations to be, the Marine Corps is more like a cult, and the AF is run more like a corporation. I'm not sure what to make of the Coasties. Never had much contact with them. I do know that in times of war they become part of the Navy. In fact maybe they are now and no longer part of the Treasury Department?
What’s one thing you loved and hated about the Air Force??
They are regularly part of Homeland Security, but can be redirected to Navy in war, as you mentioned.
I'm looking into going into the intelligence part of the airforce soon. Any advice or tips on that sector?
I want to be a navy because my cousin can’t join it’s his dream but he has autism,and also my family was in the military but none where in the navy

Air Force takes top honors for living conditions. On a deployment with two Air Force guys, 82 Marines and Sailors stayed in lare double wall tents in Tamp during the summer. The AC units they used were so good you had to use an extended cold weather sleeping system to survive the cold. The Marines and Sailors were pretty happy with that. The two Air Force guys had one of those tents to themselves, and were given hardship duty pay for that. Had those been GP tents I would not have been surprised, but we got great tents to stay in during the job project.
"Hardship duty pay" wish that was still a thing
The level of quality of this video is unlike any other video I’ve seen on this topic. Great job Kyle

* USCG : For those looking for a medical/enforcement job after military service due to the strong USCG background of being a rescue and enforcement branch.

I was in the navy and wanted too see the 🌎. I just didn't realize is was 2/3 water
Husband served in the army for 3 years. We’ve been talking about it for months about me enlisting since it was my original life plan out of high school. Was trying to choose between navy and Air Force and think I’ve decided Air Force. 🏅
I'd imagine that in Air Force you'd probably have more time for family since your deployments would be shorter (at most six months compared to at least nine months in Army) and you would't have to go to the field as often (if at all) and if you do go to the field you probably wouldn't be staying in the woods for as long (I doubt most Air Force people who go to the field would have to stay there for at least half a month at a time like Army soldiers do). So the Air Force might be a good choice. You just have to get past the recruiter.
Of course you can always do guard or reserves if you don't want to do active duty. Keep in mind that if you do Army guard/reserves, you would still deploy for the same length of time as active duty Army (again, at least nine months). You probably know all this already though. Good luck.
How it's so far?
Everybody just know that the branch doesn’t determine most of the stuff talked about, your job and personal drive determines that
The Navy can be rewarding if you’re single young , that makes living on a ship more tolerable. It’s real important to get a job your interested in because if your in something you hate you will struggle on deployment, it’s 12 on 12 of at least.
I want to join for IT but im hearing it's harder to obtain one of those jobs and the people at MEPS will persuade you to get another type of job (whatever suits the navy)
The living conditions part had me dying but I love your honesty, I know some air men dont like admitting that they live in royalty compared to Marines. Ive been forced to stay in condemned barracks for training hahahahah good times.

Why i want to join the military: for most of my life i feel like i haven't made a difference, that i haven't amounted to anything and believe that i couldn't become someone. I felt like my life has no purpose and there was nothing i could do, but the idea of the military changed that for me, it made me feel like i could help my country, help me mentally, and make something out of my life instead of a nobody playing video games in there late 30's. I want to help people, i have experienced a lot of losses in my life, my mother at age 13, my grandpa at age 11, my grandmother at age 17, i was powerless to help them while they were suffering from cancer and other illnesses, my devotion to help people and make a difference is why i choice to join the army
Air Force us obviously the best branch. Branches like the Marines are for people that like bragging rights. And I can tell, because my cousin joined the Marines and became a major dickhead.

Same! So hard to choose between the practicality and transferable skills you can gain in the AF, and pride of becoming part of one of America's best fighting forces.
Coast guard is actually a department of the navy during war time, and their experience on the water may not be war but they do travel to high risk areas especially in South America which can cause combat scenarios between drug rings, hostile locals and such.
They were also in the sandbox in the Middle East....
This was literally the most helpful video!
Living conditions on navy deployment are way better than army. Sometimes in the army you don’t even get 3 meals. Atleast in the navy you have access to the galley on ship.

The only thing with this video I disagree with is the civilian equivalent jobs for the Navy being so low. Much of the Navy is either mechanical or electronic or both. Those skills are transferable to a ton of civilian sector jobs. Especially nukes.
Matthew Wheelock If you’re a Nuke in the Navy, the Navy will pay you thousands to keep you long-term
What about intelligence?????
Is it a good job in the navy as living conditions, job transfer, etc????
Christian Wood When you’re looking at potential jobs you have to factor in signing bonus, reenlistment bonus, ease of advancement, civilian markability, day-to-day life and more. Do NOT pick a job simply because it sounds “cool”. I can tell you right now AECF rate in the Navy is offering 20K right now.

I’ve been researching the enlisting and service process for several years and I wasn’t able to decide whether I wanted Navy or Army.

Once I am cleared by my doctor it’s right to the Army for me! 🏅

Armys been known to be the laststop , after the others turned you away.,but they are just as equally impprt ,, good luck soldier enjoy Germany and Korea
I’m aiming for Air Force Pararescue and I definitely think I’m picking the right course.
Yes I’m aware it’s a highly selective job like most special warfare jobs but it’s the one I’m aiming for and I may have a chance because right now (according to a CCT friend) the Air Force is treating SR (special reconnaissance) like its baby and they are super focused on getting the best people into SR cause it’s only a few years old.
I am relatively physically fit, but stubborn, perhaps a tad arrogant but I have good physical genetics and I keep myself healthy + workout all the time (calisthenics with bar, bands, parallettes) although I don’t know how to swim (yet) and solid proficiency in that is one of the requirements.
Hope everyone gets the job they want (if you decide to go in) and the best of luck to everybody

Your assessment reminds me yrs ago when I was still in the Army and decided to change over to the Coast Guard. Sitting in MEPS listening to these kids oorahing and hooahing and talking about how badass they were going to be for their chosen branch. There I was sitting there with my “Hi I’m joining the Coast Guard” sticker badge, the only one that day as it were. Well these kids eventually saw my sticker and unsurprisingly started to berate this choice of branch as I’m sure most could imagine. At the time I was 6 months out from ETS from the Army and assigned in Spec Ops. I was former Infantry with so many identifiers I lost count. Anyways, I said nothing, just reached into my wallet and presented them with my ID card that showed I was a NCO in the Army. After they realized I then asked them “ Now what should that tell you?” They sat down and stayed quiet the rest of time in that room.
BRUH! That' is AWESOME. You put them in their place in the most savage way possible 😂
When I decided to join (decades ago), I had already talked to many vets and active duty personnel. I knew I didn't want to constantly carry/shoot a gun; wear camo & boots; and was looking at the branch that would give me the best deal in my enlistment contract. I eliminated the army and Marine Corps right away. The Air Force (at that time) didn't have a good promotion record (I saw some retiring at 20 years as an E5) and they wouldn't guarantee me A school. I ended up joining the Navy and getting what I wanted, except duty station). I didn't regret it
This video format is excellent! Very easy to follow - I like the points system - well organized - keep it up man!

SilverGunner You’re a gate guard scanning ID’s all day with the occasional excitement of responding to crazy situations on base. Yes there’s opportunities to advance and do cool shit like Raven Unit, K-9 and master-at-arms but that’s *after* spending years doing mind numbing boring stuff along with submitting a request. Also what base you’re stationed at plays a factor as well.
That’s what they keep trying to do to me to! There nothing bad about sick fo but it’s just not my passion
I think the educational benefits vary from branch to branch. It's up to the Secretary of each branch of what they get. When I was in the Marines they paid 75% of TA. When I went into the Air Force they paid 100%. Both required to maintain a C.
how were you able to switch into the airforce?

@@thewrenchmaster122 💯
A pretty good video overall. My background was as a Marine Infantry GySgt. Now retired. My list included earning dress blues, my DI cover, and seeing combat and did all three. A couple of observations though; First, no one goes right into any of the branch's special ops (and yes each has them, to some degree) you go in to a field, then are screened and if you make it past screening, you go to school. I'd say most of the ops schools have around an 80 to 85% FAIL rate. Second, a lot of recruiters don't tell you, but they guarantee you the school not the job. It's up to you to pass it. If you fail your school, you're not out of your contract, but you may end up learning how to cook for four years. Now in the Navy and Marines (not sure about Army or Air Force) the Marines have what is called B billets, and I think the Navy calls it Neutral and Shore Duty. My two B billets were the Navy Base Rota, Spain, and four years at the Navy Air Station in Bermuda (now closed) While doing those various duties I was able to get a lot of education in as both bases had University of Maryland and City College of Chicago. Overall, my recommendations to youngsters I talk to are 1) Navy, see the world, get a solid job skill, never see front line combat (except for special ops, or those MOST AWESOME Navy Corpsmen assigned to the USMC) 2) Air Force, great everything but limited travel for most, kind of like being a civilian in a lot of ways 3. Marines, I spent over 16 out of 21 years overseas so did some traveling. 4. Army. Similar in many ways to Marines job wise but limited overseas bases to get stationed. As a whole, I would not recommend the Marines unless I personally know you, because even though the retention rate has gotten better I still hate to see youngsters fail. Hope this helps some.
When I tell young people which service to go in I say if there is a conflict in the world who goes in first. Marines go first, then the Army. The Navy will fire from ships and where are the Air Force enlisted people? Waiting for the jets to come back - only officers fly the jets.
But online the infantry people go to conflict right?

The Coast Guard, still a well kept secret hiding in plain sight. So many from other branches re-enlisting in the Coast Guard (If they can, it's much like getting into a good college).
So what does that tell you? Maybe they get it right the second time? Even so, it's not for everybody! Having been in the CG, better you get your CG info from someone who has been in the CG.
I enlisted 40 yrs ago. From the looks of TH-cam videos, basic training is much easier now (Co-Ed, 8 weeks instead of 12, and more PC). But I suspect the job is harder, now that they have gone
from DOT/DD to Homeland Security (Add that to what they were already doing). Salute to this channel, some don't even mention the Coast Guard.

I'm not fit for the Marines yet, and I still have time until I'd have to go to boot camp. The main reason I want to join the Marines is the brotherhood they have. I'm still not 100% sure which branch I'll end up joining, but Marines is high up on that list.

Another big reason for me to want to join the Marines is to be able to work on the F-35B. VTOL Fighter Jets are insanely cool to me.
I leave for coast guard boot camp tommorw morning!!
Did you just get out?
PurpleThunder7 yesterday yes
@@aidanray4846 Nice! How was it? I'm planning to enlist next week!
How’d it go?
Everyone: what branch are you in?
Me: the virgin branch
Being a European wanting to join the US military....
You can I’m Irish born and raised and I’m enlisted in the marine corps
Me too but I’m from Hong Kong
No one gets out of the Coast Guard to join another service.

Anyone else here because of the looming economic collapse?
The Marines are always special in a unique way
Facts
It's the crayons...
🏅 thank you for all this helpful info! I had been leaning more so towards the AF in the first place and Navy second - sticking to it but now I know there’s MORE opportunities in Army - depending upon the job I want - thank you buddy! ✌🏻
This was sick Kyle, nice job here. 🎖
Super Accurate and descriprive👍🏾🇺🇲
i loved it!! i just wish there was a little more honest opinion. i need the details on if something just sucks yk? was it a very informative video that definitely does help see all sides of thing? absolutely! so thank you for that!
I leave for Army basic training on July 8th, but I’ve been watching your videos for years (since before I even knew for sure I wanted to join). I considered the Air Force and the Marines before deciding on the Army. Thank you for putting your time and effort into your videos this entire time. Thank you for helping thousands and thousands of people over the last several years. You’re awesome and a fantastic resource for people interested in joining or just learning. Love from Kentucky
Bryce Barnett army sucks
Living conditions are like the marines
@brycebarnett when you get out tell me what it was like.
Bryce Barnett how’d it go?
@Bossman-gw4ch It’s way more pussified than I thought it would be, but it’s not bad. My first contract is up in April of next year and weighing my options
4:25 great chart! Except I would include the other catagory of which branches have submarines as well.
I’m stuck between army and Air Force.
