What is better Army or Marines?

Depends on how much pain and deprivation you can withstand.

Why settle, when you can join the best; US Coast Guard.

Do you want to set the world on fire? Cuz a question like will set the world on fire...

That's a purely Subjective question.

The Marines and Army are two completely different experiences because they operate at two completely different scales and have two dissimilar missions.

The Army has quantitatively more occupational fields and specialties. There is just more that you can do because there is more that the Army does. There are more places to go. You will also likely get promoted faster. However, the level of responsibility with each rank is not the same.

The Marine Corps has fewer options, but in general we are about the "experience of being a Marine." Good or bad, you will never forget it. We are more like a cult than anything else.

I can tell you that promotions will be much easier and faster in the Army but the bureaucracy in the Army could make it a less than pleasant experience. If you have the drive and motivation I would say go with the Marines. If you want to make the best of your service experience I would suggest preparing for the tests (depending on your carrier path) and get your HS, college credits or degree in order. Plenty of great opportunities with any service but it can depend on service needs and/or priorities of filling open slots. The higher your scores the better the opportunities.. Best of luck!

I was Army ROTC then went USAF OTS instead...I knew sevl USMC in the BOQ where I was, I also did USMC command and staff nonresident while I was in...I've often seen the same question posed, however, for !e, the question isn't one of better, the correct perspective is different, the cultural norms differ, the roles differ, the functions differ, I knew and had all svcs where I was assigned, so I don't tend to think of the matter from what that perspective, honest...as I'd said, I know the question is frequently posed, however, I can't devolve it down to that level of classification, I know a good deal of the history and society of both, as well as how each functions operationally, so I tend to categorize them on that basis...of course, obviously, that:s solely my perspective, certainly, though I realize why you ask the question, certainly....

Depends on what you want. Marines use Army schools because they don't have the Budget the Army Has. Marines take what the Navy gives them. The Marines mission is different than the armies. Marines can land on foreign soil to protect American Lives and property, without declaring war. Their are more opportunities in the Army because it is much bigger. their are more MOS,s to choose from. Their are about 180,000 personell in the Marine Compared to the Army which has over a million personell. Personally I chose the Marine Corp because I think they are the Best. Semper fi.

Yes.

Air force

It all depends on what you want to do. Since I have been in both services I can give you the low down on both branches. But a lot of it has to do with what MOS you want because chances are if the Marine corps doesn't have the job you are looking for the Army does.
