This was sparked from a decision I've been fighting with about the Naval and Air Force academies.
Army?
Navy?
Air Force?
Marines? -----------------------

put it this way, are you adventuresome? Enjoy tough challenges, enjoy sleeping outside? Can handle the dirty side of war? Army-Marines
Bombing from a distance, not seeing war, relying on machines, sleeping at home, stressful. Air Force

I like the Airforce the best. They get good money and best of all, they get to fly a jet. Something I would definetly do if I were given the chance. -----------------------

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

Marines are usually given the rougher stuff to handle. Not saying th army can't hold itself, they can, but it seems that the Marines are always talked about for their courage and the toughest missions (besides the special forces). If I'm wrong, someone let me know. -----------------------

It isn't just Marines, there are Army units over there too, as well as Reserves and National Guard. Plus some Air Force. Just got to get a lake in there big enough for the Navy and they could join the party.

There's more Army personnel than there are Marines, anyways. Marines are sort of the "elite" Army. They go through more extensive training than the Army, and are usually used for Amphibious missions.

Navy=Sea

Actually, there is a lot of Navy over there too. I love how everyone thinks the Airforce is the top dog in the sky too. The Navy has more planes and we actually get to use them.
If you're going to call a branch amphibious you might as well add the Navy in there too.

I'm not sure if you need 20/20 just to be in the Airforce, but to be a pilot you do.

No.
To be a pilot in the Air Force, you MUST have 20/70 each eye before its corrected, via Lasik surgery, etc. I'd expect the Navy to be stricter, as they have much more challenging take-off and landing conditions.
But come on, Tal. You have to give Marines your total respect; they're usually first in and last out in combat situations...and they're frickin' insane. -----------------------

I would go with the Air Force.
I would love to fly a plain, and frankly I find it to be way to dangerous to take off and land on an air craft carrier. Meh... -----------------------
