If you like to move around the Navy is the place to be. You will have a Sea/Shore Rotation (ex: 3 yrs on Sea Duty/ 3 yrs Shore Duty). Depending on your rating, you will spend no more than 3-4 years at any single command. That is not to say that your next command won't be in the same geographical area. While stationed on a ship you will most likely make a 6 month deployment to either the West Pacific / Indian Ocean or a 6 month Med Deployment. On these you will have a chance to have port calls in several different nations.

Glad you asked. I spent 20 years in the Navy, went around the world 11 times, seen 82 different countries. Learned 2 foreign tongues and seen things on land and at sea that people would only dream of. Having a girl in every port helps also.

I took the ASVAB twice to get my electronics score up, so I could go into Avionics Communications. I joined the Air Force and the first place I went was Lackland AFB in San Antonio Texas for Basic Training, then to Keesler AFB in Biloxi Mississippi for Tech School. Mississippi in the summer is a miserable place to be, all humid and tons of mosquitos.
Be aware that no matter what your skill is, you will be sent where you are most needed. I wanted to be stationed in my home state of Arizona, but was originally assigned to Kadena Japan. When they found a base that needed both me and my husband, we wound up in Fairbanks Alaska, freezing our butts off.

My best friend's boyfriend is in the Navy, as was a family friend of mine. The BF is stationed in Italy at the moment, while my friend's ship went between the Gulf (yes, THAT Gulf) and Australia.

Either one is a good choice. Any branch is a good choice but with those two, you stand more of a chance to not see action. I was in the Marines and I wanted action but any branch is a good call.

Both are good options. Personally, I would love to fly one of those F-18's. Either branch offers that!! But be ready to launch some sidewinders at those mother-------!!!

Well, it depends on what kind of jobs you would like to do. Some branches have more or fewer job types. That should be your primary thought.

Have you been asleep for the past 5 1/2 years?
