Air Force baby!! I should be starting mine in a couple of weeks!! Air Force is the only branch that will give you a scholarship for majoring in a language!! Also-Navy as far as I know is more rigorous when it comes to academics-you have to pass a certain level of physics-and as far as rewarding you every semester for meeting the GPA-Navy has a higher standard!!-I'm just saying-you will of course have a mandatory sea tour-if you don't like the water-then fly high onto the wild blue yonder!! Now, you can always fly in the Navy-if you can't decide between air and sea-Navy-it has the best of both worlds!!

I am in Army ROTC and served 5 years active duty enlisted. I have always heard the best way to figure out which ROTC or service to go with is to figure out what you want to do first. If you want to fly go AF. If you want to sit on a boat go Navy. Talk to them all and then make the decision.

The Air Force definately. They receive the bulk of the federal budget. I served 22 Years, and traveled the world twice in my careerfield.

Navy is more challenging, but the training and benefits are better. I've also been told that the Coast Guard has a good program.

It all depends on what you want to do once you complete the program. First, I would determine what both the services would offer to you and go from there.
