I am a female military member. It all depends on the job you want to do, how strictly you want to live, what you want out of the military.
I am in the Navy, I love it! I don't get harassed as it is stated above, I didn't get a sign on bonus and I am sure I would get a bonus if I re-enlist (which I don't intend to do), and the chances of me picking up rank again anytime soon are slim(depends on your job in the Navy). I still love it!
Sometimes though I wish I would have joined the Marine Corps... they have much better rank structure and discipline.
The Navy has rank structure but no one really pays any attention to it.
I don't know much about the Army but I do know that now-a-days just about anyone is allowed to join as long as you have a high school degree or GED. And they don't kick you out for doing drugs... they just put you on restriction for a few weeks and take away some of your pay... then they give you a gun again, don't know about you but I don't want to be in the feild with some one whos high on coke and has a gun in his hand.
The Air Force seems like it would be nice... don't know much about it eaither... I was stationed on an Air Force base while I was deployed in the middle east. Great amenities... air conditioning in the rooms, cable TV, olyimpic sized pool... Dairy Queen!!
If you want to stay in the US then go Cost Gaurd... don't forget about them, they are a big part of the US military... they watch the home front while the other guys take care of the forigen shores!

I did Coast Guard. Because All jobs are open to women. You can get on the boarding teams. Do everything that the men do. We get a lot of crap from those who don't know what we really do. But those who do respect us. I also like the fact it is that it is a smaller branch. So you not just a number. They also have for females that you can take up to 2 years paternity leave. Then come back at the same rate and rank.

USAF--- longest time to get any promotions, no $$$ bonuses to come in or stay in (all the $$$ goes to the pilots, and there aren't many pilots).... low rank on the way back out... good technical skills if you can find the job to match. Your job can be assigned to you without a choice.
USNAVY---faster promotion than the USAF, some $$$ bonuses to come on or stay in.... mid rank on the way out... good technical skills
USARMY--- fastest promotion period, high $$$ bonuses to come in and stay in, plus extra $$$ for college (as much as $50,000).... decent rank on the way back out.... decent skills, but the better the skill set you get the less $$$ bonuses you get offered so choose wisely....... Also, The US Army is the only one that will let you pick your exact job so long as you have the qualifying ASVAB scores.
USMARINES--- slightly slower than USARMY but still faster than the other two... mid to high $$$ bonuses... decent rank on the way out.. decent skills.... you may find the job chosen for you based upon your ASVAB scores. Marines probably have the toughest system. but there is no question... they definitely take very good care of their people in a way that only USARMY comes close to.

As a former Marine having been stationed with all 4 branches, I can honestly say that the Air Force has the best looking girls. If you're a cutie, Aim High!

I am in the army. Don't go Marines unless you want to be brainwashed, don't go Navy unless you want to be harassed all the time, and if you go Army look into being an officer before enlisting as a private. My suggestion for a girl honestly, if you are smart go Air Force!!!! Hands down.

well the way I like to consider it is which side of brains z brawns are you
airfoce - all brains little brawns
Navy- alot of brains but some brawns
Army- alot of brawns but some brains
Marines- all brawns and little brains
for females Id recommend air force because they work best when using their head.
