I am an engineering student at a university with all four branches represented in ROTC. I've always known that I was going to join the military but now i'm torn on which way to go. The three services that I am considering are the Marines, the Army, or the Navy. I want to know which service has the best chance of being deployed on both combat or humanitarian missions. Which one has the best discipline and which one has the most room for advancement. It would also be nice to know what do you do and do you enjoy doing it? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

If you are looking into Civil Engineering. I suggest Navy CEC Corps. I am a Retired Navy Seabee CPO 2013. Was on 4 Humanitarian Missions and 4 combat support missions one IA with Army Corps in Iraq out my 24 years. They are working all over Africa and PI. Conduct missions down in South and Central America. As a CEC officer you will do all sorts of jobs in contacting oversight and in PW's it just depends on what route you take. You can also go US State Dept. and CSST support for NSW again it is how you approach thing's when in..

I started out in the Marines...but crossed into the Air Force once I saw how family unfriendly the Marine Corp was.

You are correct about how family came second in the Marines. It was like that when I first joined. As time went on they have vastly improved. We still believe mission comes first but, the Marines do take in family issues more than in the past.

Like what Maj Stanton said "It depends on what you want to do". Think about things like where you might want to live/end up? How much do you want to travel? Which is better for your career in the long run? Which is going to benefit more when you decide to get out and back into the civilian world? Like for me I wanted frontline so I chose Infantry! Which is great, but not to many options later on down the road. That's why I went straight to school as soon as I got out, hell I was enrolled before I got out. That way all I had to to is pack a few things and start my new job as a student. Good lick on your choices Leon, and do what feels right!

Every service will deploy you. Good leadership in stills discipline regardless of branch. Advancement is on you and you alone. I am a USAF JOINT TERMINAL ATTACK CONTROLLER and never looked back.
