which of the armed forces is easiest to get into and which is the hardest?

Question

I think that the army is the easiest armed force to get into then navy then marines then air force the most difficult. Am I right?

Answer 1

In all actuality, they are the same to get into. Pass the ASVAB and physical, and you're in.

The difference is in what you qualify to do. That's were the difficult part comes into the equation, and that's based off of your ASVAB. The Air Force (in 2000) required you to have a minimum of 40 on the ASVAB, where the rest only needed you to have a 31. That may have changed.

Answer 2

like usual you are all forgetting the Coast Guard... it is a lot harder than the Air Force, as the recruiter said the ASVAB score for the AF is 40 and the rest 31, but the USCG is 65..and the USCG only has 35,000 people if that many now, while the Marines have over 150,000 nd the others a lot more....then there is basic training which if you do join you can wash out, probably across the board 15% fail out of basic...of course Marine Basic is by far the hardest, everyone knows that, but many say that Coast Guard is 2nd hardest, so you need the high IQ and the second hardest basic..making it the hardest to get in, and by far the one where you are tasked with the most different jobs from rescue to law enforcement to navigational equipment like buoys and even have to inspect ships and fishing equipment.

Answer 3

The Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard currently are in a position to be very picky about who they take as new enlistees. They are also needing more educated personnel in terms of what jobs they need filling. The Army and Marines are currently having difficulty filling their ranks, so have become more tolerant and lenieint about filing for waivers and accepting lower test scores.

Depending on what it is exactly you want to do, the Army may be harder to get into than the Navy, but none of them are terribly 'easy'. They ALL have standards to maintain and all require tough physical and mental discipline.

Answer 4

It depends on what you mean by easist to get into, The Navy and the Airfoce both have very high intelligence testing standards. It's a nuclear Navy, and you have to score high on the test scores. However Army and Marines have lower test scores because everyone is a rifleman. If you are referring to physically, I would say the Marines are the toughest, followed by Army, Navy, and then Airforce. Now If you are stupid, and out of shape, go to college.

Answer 5

Navy is the easiest. Air Force has the strictest education requirements.
