This may or may not be slightly different than previous questions posted, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
I know there have been various reasons given to join this branch or that branch (Air Force has the best technical training, Marine Corps has the best camaraderie, etc...). I'm not here to debate whether or not those distinctions are accurate.
I'd specifically like to get some feedback from those in the armed forces as to what went through their minds during recruitment as they made their decisions regarding their future in the military.
Feel free to comment on any of the following: basic training, education, pay, career advancement, pride, family legacy, travel opportunities, physical requirements, or anything else I missed. I don't presume to have included all the considerations.
Also, how does your experience in the service compare to your expectations before enlisting, with regards to the factors that influenced your decision to join your chosen branch?
