The education benefits are close to identical, with Navy and Air Force being the ones to offer the most varied range of choices. The Navy allows for different ways to sign up for and utilize the MGI Bill, and I'm pretty sure there is now a Naval community college of some sort. The Air Force offers associates degrees through the Community College of the Air Force. All services have educational offices accessible on base unless you're deployed or on a really remote tour. And then, there are often distance education options that can be looked into. The monetary benefits are, I believe, identical for all services up to a certain maximum.

US Army has the best education benefits. Comparing all service branches the Army gives the most. Also some state National Guards pay all tuitions and you get the GI Bill on top of that without having to pay into the system, not a bad deal. Misread your question, All services offer great military educaiton benefits, just depends on which job you go after and how much education is needed in that field.

Good answers and a lot of good information.
If you are looking for just education, then they all offer the same thing: the GI Bill. While you are serving, you can attend college, take CLEP tests, and have your military experience accredited as college hours. In some cases, the college tuition is 100% paid for by the military. As a veteran, you also qualify for a variety of educational programs offered by state governments, and the VA.
When I got out of recruiting, the Army was offering up to $50,000 college bonus, provided you qualified for it, and took a job that was offering it. I understand that the amount has gone up.
Talk to your local recruiters (ALL of them), and take the literature home to peruse. READ the literature, then base your decision on which has the best GUARANTEES (in writing) to help you.

Soldier and scholar are two words that are occasionally heard together to identify the ideal for what being a professional military officer represents. Indeed, these two terms represent and describe two very important, but typically different career fields. It is when the two can be properly joined and provided as a descriptor of a single professional warrior are they of most interest to current and future military students.

all services offer identical benefits: GI Bill, CLEP, DANTES for 'outside' education/degrees. as for job specific.. each branch offers the highest level of training with many of them training side by side.. DLI, for instance.. the Defense Language Institute, has servicemembers from all five branches studying together.
how much of these benfits you will realisitcally be able to access during your Active Duty will depend on many factors, up to and including your OPTEMPO.

They all do but I would think that the air force has the best range of subjects to chose from. To me the air force is an elite organization with many good jobs.
