Keep in mind that these two people are young, and I don't even think that they've been deployed. they've told me to join the air force because they are more laid back, and is easier than the army, or something along those lines.
I think that the army is something that, yes, it might suck, but it will be worth it. Any thoughts on why people nowadays prefer the 'easier routes' in the military? Is this just a coincidence that these two people think the same thing, or is everyone that served in the army share the same feelings? I Sure hope not...

I have served in the Air Force and the Army Reserve.

Both tend to be what you make of it. Join the one that has the best opportunities for the area that YOU want to excel in. Then give it your all.

If your goal is to find the "easiest" career, I'd stop looking at the military altogether. McDonald's is probably hiring and it will be much much easier than even the Air Force.

Do what you feel like you were born to do. I wanted to be in the Infantry. Not because it's better than being a pilot or intel guy, but because that's where I feel at home. Where will you be happiest?

I wouldn't pick a service based on one being easier than the other, it all comes down to what you want to accomplish. I chose the Air Force because I wanted to have a more stable quality of life, and wanted to focus on the medical side of things. I wanted to be a medic first, where in the Army you are a soldier first. I will say that I have nothing but respect for those who serve in every branch. At the end of the day, you have to make the decision.

thanks for your insight... I was hoping that id get someone from the AF to respond. I agree with you also, "I wouldn't pick a service based on one being easier than the other". Its sad to know that people these days do though...
