What were some the deciding factors that made you join the military service branch that you did?
Was it education, tradition, the recruiter, a buddy, drafted, see the world, sail the ocean, be on the water, action, be in the sky, etc.
What was your motivation?
I chose the Army, because I was headed in the wrong direction and I had a one hell of a recruiter that convinced me the Army was it!

I've been asked many times why I joined the military, but rarely why I joined the Navy in particular. I joined the Navy mainly because they seemed to be tough enough for me to improve myself, and I always enjoyed being around water. Also, my step brother is currently a Lieutenant, having commissioned as a Mustang and I suppose I feel somewhat compelled to follow in his footsteps. So I ask you, what made you join your branch?

My Father was USCG in WWII serving in North Atlantic and South Pacific. He said if you go in, you must go in as an officer, they get the bigger rooms on a ship. I instead chose the Army. I liked tanks, you could stay warm and dry in the winter and you didn't have to walk.
Well I was trying to actually get into the Airforce originally but my scores weren't high enough so I then joined the Army.
I joined the Army because I had been out of the Navy for 11 years and when I saw the Twin Towers brought to the ground I wanted to kill the bastards and their friends that did it. I wanted to make sure I saw their faces as I did it. You can't do that from a ship. PC it is not, but it is the truth. I can honestly say the Army does make dreams come true!
