The common argument between people in different branches, "my branch is the best" What do you think? I think it's ridiculous that people say and argue that their branch is better or the best. It's usually us a.k.a the young ones that do it but I just think it's ridiculous. No branch is better than another. A navy recruiter talked to me once. Im not a huge fan of the navy but i like what he said to me. "Why not navy?" When i told him I wasnt interested in the navy he said" that's okay, we're all part of the united states military and we all work together to reach our goals." To me he represented the navy well and the military well by saying that. So what do you think? Discuss.

I think it really depends on what you want to do.
Play with the tippy-top high-tec toys - Air Force
Travel the world and see exotic places - Navy
Go to strange places and do strange things - Army
What was the question? - Marines

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw; Marine standing a post in the rain, "This sucks", Soldier on a long road march on a hot day, "This sucks", Sailor eating powdered eggs in the mess, "This sucks", Airman in a hotel room flipping through the channels, "No cable, this sucks".

I agree with Jan. The branch you join depends on what you want to do. All branches are great with outstanding men and women.

The best one is the one you make the best of. Don't sweat the labels.

All branches have their place and respective purpose. None is better than any other.

I think this question will open up a can of worms since we loveeee poking fun at our sister services. :)

Obviously, Air Force is the best. Kidding, I was in the Army for my first 5 years. They trained me, groomed me in my formative years. I transferred to the Air Force and continue to have totally different experiences.

Neither was "better or worse", they just differed and made me the leader that I am today. It truly depends on the person. I always say it is as individual as a pillow.
