yes you too could paint more rocks before noon than the average person does all day, but it will never make you as cool as those A.F. loadmasters. i hear they really pack it in too.

Ha ha, nope. And anyway, I'm Air Force, but my brother's in the Navy, with the Marine Corps.
Seriously, I won't join any particular services just because some pumpkin say its cool (sure, the uniforms are spiffy though I admit). I join to serve the country and put my talents to good use.
Of course its a hell lot easier if you like that particular branch of service in the first place.
But if you are looking to a career of sinking ships as Lana above mentioned, well, you are out of luck. We ain't in the Cold War with the Russians (the USSR is gone, so's the term Soviet) anymore.
If you want combat action, join the Marine Corps. Don't even think about the special forces now, its tough to get in and tougher to stay in still. Once you are in a combat vocation (frontline duties), you won't be thinking about cool anymore, you will be thinking about surviving and getting home in one piece.

I went in the Navy before the Village People were formed.

Navy recruits were many at the height of the popularity of the Village People believing that they will become sex symbols.

Tangentially related, Did you know that the Navy was going to use that song in a recruitment ad, until they found out that the song was filled with gay undertones that were intended for the gay audience? Needless to say that it did not get used once they found that out

No, I just wanted to sink Soviet ships.
Find'em, chase'em, sink'em!
Now Carl Douglas did make me want to do some, "Kung Fu Fighting."
Ps. This is really suposed to be a group for serious questions, not MAD tv.
