In the marines you need a asvab score of only 32 as compared to the army's 31. In actuality though, there are multiple waivers being sent out for scores as low as 25 (that means you could guess your way through the test and odds are you could pass the test. The army only delivers waivers to 26. The army will be easier if you dont have a high school education, the marines if you bomb the asvab test.

Marines probably! They ae only looking for a lot fewer people than the Army! I'd rather be in the Army though as the Marines are certainly no better!
The Marines have never bore the brunt of major combat, or deaths! It as been the oldest branch of the military, the US Army. In Iraq the Army has had 2,484 KIA's, while the Marines have had 934!

The Army and Marines enlistment standards are virtually identical right now. The Asvab requirements are both at 31 and both require at least a GED.

The Marines. It's smaller.
But the Army offers the most diverse opportunities. Ya can't be a medic in the Corps for example. Army also gives you more incentives.

A few examples of the standards of each branch-
Marines- Under 28, physically fit, divorced parents, the ability to read and write(officers only), no debt or pending criminal cases, ie an upcoming trial or being on probation, and too many criminal offenses will DQ you.
Army- A pulse.

It will depend on recruiting requirements at the time.
If a force needs many recruits, then you have to 'lower your standards a bit'
If the force is close to fully manned, then they can afford to be more selective.
How do you tell if they are short of recruits?
If they are willing to pay money to advertise on TV, then they are big time short of recruits. No adverts, then they have about enough people.
In terms of which is better? Theyre both infantry, theyre both manned by grunts, and they both think they're better than the other.

They're the two easiest branches to join. They'll take anyone.
Any time my USAF recruiter had a recruit that had background problems, financial problems, or poor ASVAB scores he'd send them across the building to see the Army or USMC recruiter.

USMC is harder the army takes anyone with a heart beat.

Join the navy, same benefits. Less dangerous. Easier Basic Training. Hell I am at work right now.

Far as I'm concerned, all branches are the same. They all have outstanding men/women, and they all have a few dumb*sses. You ever see a real difference, let me know.
