We all choose the branch we served in for a special reason, but if you where not allowed into that branch which one would you choose to join? I was in the process of going into the Marines when I was involved in a car accident and ended that dream.

I wanted to be a Marine, but my health wouldn't allow it; I had asthma. I had a good friend who wanted to be a Marine, so I went with him. The recruiter asked if I wanted to be a Marine. I said yes and he told me that I had the look of Marine Recon, until I told him I has asthma. He sighed and said that was a deal killer.

I would have been a Marine. I've been told many times I didn't have a USAF attitude, I was more like a Marine, and I hung out with Marines all the time. Heck, my ex Brother-In-Law was a Marine Recruiter, and he's still like a brother to me!

I almost joined the Coasties to become a Rescue Swimmer. However, they wanted me to wait 6 months. Instead, I joined the Navy to become a Corpsman and go green. Little did I know at the time, that I didn't qualify for HM (hand tremors) and became an IT guy.

I would have joined the Air Force. There is a base not far from where I grew up. Being near family would be very beneficial now that I have kids (weekend at grandma's, anyone?) Plus Boeing has a facility there so it has the potential for a smooth transition.

If I 100% had to join another branch, I would choose the Air Force.
