If you can handle extreme body punishment, go for the marines. If not, go to the navy. Personally, I like the air force.

If you join the Navy you will almost certainly see a lot of sea. Deployments on a ship run 6+ months. You will see lot of ports in different countries that you will probably never see again in your life. Depending on your rate you will probably learn a trade that will easily convert to a civilian job.
If you go Marines there is a very good possibility you will see a year+ deployment to the middle east. You could possibly be one of the few that gets in a shipboard detachment, yes the Navy still has Marines aboard ship, and you will see all the ports the sailors do and all the sea. If you are lucky you can get in the aviation or electronics fields which will translate into the civilian world. Not many civilian jobs for a rifle man, law enforcement maybe.
Which ever you chose you will be a Marine or a salior for life.

since you are lacking any good answers thus far that can be backed up with information I will toss my hat in the ring. The Navy is fine for education but the way I see it, who wants to get stuck on a boat in the middle of a large body of water with nothing but other guys around them for long periods of time. The Marine Corps has quite a bit of the same jobs as the navy but we also have infantry jobs that the navy can not support. Every Marine is trained as a rifleman first which has proven to be a help as we have the lowest casualty rate of any branch that engages in direct conflict with the enemy. We are founded on pride, motivation, and espirit de corps. We are a band of brothers that cant be explained to a civilian unless they become one of us. Marines typically get hired for jobs regardless of experience levels for the simple fact that they are or were Marines. Our heritage, enthusiasm, and ability to take on tough challenges with strict timelines has been proven on the battle field and in the corporate world.
Ultimately it's your choice but I leave you with this sarcastic thought. There is no better friend, and no worse enemy than a US Marine.

Wow, this question is stable up my line. I joined the army as a well-being facility corpsman, they stationed me with the Marine corps for 3 years (marines have not have been given any scientific team so as that they borrow us) and the army seals for my final three hundred and sixty 5 days This became while Corpsman could pass in the process the crash course and enlist for decrease than 4 years. in case you pass Marines first the army Seals will kick your buns1 in case you pass military seals you will not prefer to pass Marines because you would be over qualified. have self assurance me I fought the two on an identical day, the seals are the meanest bunch i've got ever worked with. (Marines and seals have been given into an argument, a combat broke out, I had to combat each and every person because i became donning a Marine uniform yet had a beard which in basic terms the army allowed decrease back then. So I have been given my buns kicked with the help of the two on an identical time. Seals have been greater proper) particularly, once you're making it in the process the seals you will not pass marines. in case you pass marines first the seals won't prefer you and could confirm you fail.

It all depends on what you want more. Do you want to do more agressive fighting with closer and in face combat, fighting enemies on land, or would you rather spend six months on a ship defending our nations right for free trade and right to sea, fighting enemies that are a threat to us at sea. I chose the Navy because it has always appealed to me more than any other branch, but again only you can decide which branch is better for you. Talk to any recruiters you feel necessary, and make sure that anything and everything that you sign -you read VERY CAREFULLY first. Seriously. Anything you want to have guaranteed to you, have it added to your contract, get it signed by your recruiting commander while at MEPS, and make sure that you get a copy of your enlistment contract. I wish you the best of luck and wisdom in considering your future, and if you chose to serve I commend you for it. If you choose Navy then I might see you on the fleet someday.

I would say, research them both in fine detail and figure out which one will best suit you. You are going to sign for 4 years so you better be happy with your choice. Once you sign the papers, you aren't getting out of it, so my answer is research. As for me giving you a choice,, I can't, because I am a marine, but if I try to sell you on the Corps, it might not be the right one for you later down the road, you have to research both and make your own choice.

it depends on what you prefer. the marines came from the navy so they are basically the same when it comes to the mos. marines are first on the scene and the navy dominates the seas! either way, make sure your physically fit and can stay afloat.

If you want to work on or around a ship, then join the Navy.
If you want to patrol the streets of Iraq, playing whack-a-mole while hoping not to have your under-armored Humvee blown up - join the Marines (they are in dire need of replacements for the 4K who have been killed in Iraq thusfar, and the luckier ones who are tired of repeated tours of duty there).
Note - you can probably get a better signing bonus with the Marines, but unfortunately if you get burned to a crisp or have your legs blown off in Iraq they'll try to take your signing bonus back (since you didn't finish your tour of duty)!

Any answer you get for either choice will be biased. It is a personal choice and both are fine.
