Marines or Airforce (please read my paragraph* below)?
Now before this becomes a bias argument, I believe that the Marines are the spear tip of the United States military, and that the Airforce is the intelligence and technology basis of our military. Some reason I find myself between these two branches, hard to explain why these two so very different branches intrigue me so, but I non the less desire to be in both for several reasons.I first wanted the Airforce, good beds, food, cloths, etc, and I am a tech wiz (plus family is a Airforce fam tree: af, af, raf, raf, etc), but I soon saw that they are a desired branch that a lot of people tend to desire which I do not want to be in a branch that does not rank at a increasing rate or respect to keep you after your enlistment. But that's just reviews that I've seen, I can't truly say that is facts. Now I became interested in the Marines ( "wtf, why they aren't treated like af, they are brain washed, blah blah jar head blah...) I am a young man, maybe soft at heart, but I want to be self reliant and able to servive and defend what I hold dear. I want to experience excient and a feeling of true duty and pride (I understand it is in both, but marines just gloat it a bit better) I understand marines are seen as riflemen first and they are given the crap of the crop, but I believe they are changing and that they are building into a self reliant branch ( air, sea, land) and they are opening new tech fields in there branch, which means open slots for YDC enlisted men like myself. I do have future goals as well, I have a 2 year degree and I plan to fight for a four year degree rather than go into debit in a wonderful economy. After which I desire to earn myself a opertunity to get into OCS and be a officer with enlisted experience so i am not seen as just another butter bar smart *** right out of college $@$& guy. Sorry for the long message, it is just hard to deside, and hard to explain in so few words, also I am 22 y o and I have a AAS in information technology +70 c/hrs, thx!
Love the bias responses, but please also add some extra info in the matter. Also for peps that hate the miltary or disrespect these branches go funk ur self :) groovy I know ..

Air Force is the tip of the sword. Look how all American wars start these days. AF goes in and paves the way, then Army and Marines come in and take out the stragglers. Don't exactly know what the question is, but based on your paragraph you seem a little naive. Someone else can't tell you what is best for you. And all of the leadership I've ever had started out as "butter bar smart asses" and I would follow them into battle any day of the week. OTS/OCS makes leaders, don't assume that just because you enlisted first it is going to make you any better of a leader than the guys that didn't.

definite, you're a lazy person. Get off your butt, launch a seek engine,(i.e. Yahoo, Google) and seem for some solutions. bypass to a Recruiting workplace and confer with them. you will get greater records there than you will here. while you're lacking self discipline now is the time to initiate motivating your self.

I thought of joining the marines,but I'm getting older now and trying to make the right choice on what branch I should join.I was going to join the marines after high school but I started to do more research.Mostly any one can make it into the marines you just have to be in some what good shape.I want to strive for something more challenging so I went to go talk to my local navy recruiter. I did some research and made my final decision to join the navy SWCC. It's a lot harder to actually make it Into SWCC than any other.
So I'm getting my self in the best shape possible before actually going to basic training.Give navy a try find out more info on them
