Homegirls told me since I got an 84 on my asvab basically all of the jobs are available to me

I wanted to do the maritime officer shyt but I don't know about basically being a cop on boats & shyt

Since everything's open I wanted to keep my options open

Anyone use to be in or know anyone in & can hook a nikka up with advice? :win:

The Truth
I dont know much about coasties, never really worked around them. I would imagine it being better than the Navy, but I've heard they have high standards (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

I tell EVERYBODY I know, join Air Force unless you have a legit reasons not to. It's by far has the highest moral of any branch I've seen (Navy has the lowest IMO, and I know this because I worked joint-military for like 5 years).

No branch is bad if you know what you want and have goals.

You want a variety of training, rank up quick but not get shot at? Join Navy (you deal with a lot of petty ass people and dumb shyt, A lot of crabs in the barrel, admin usually sucks, etc)

You wanna feel like you're a bad-ass immediately, join Marines (you deal with a lot of stupid shyt too, and some motherfukkers aren't all there mentally)

You want variety of training, cash, rank fast and don't care about being deployed or shot at, Join Army (also deal with a lot of dumb shyt)

You want to be an expert in a specific job field, have more options, don't mind being stationed in the middle of no where, and to be treated like an intelligent human being, then join Air Force. There's dumb shyt too, but there dumb shyt makes some sense). Even if you go through shyt it just feels like shyt is ok... Only problem is the rank up really slow.

All of this is my opinion, and There are pros and cons to any branch and it really depends on the path u take inside, but just know that as I write this I'm sitting on an air force base, in ac, with a couple nice looking Air Force white breezys, chillin. I like the way AF handles business

Yea man just know you have options. I've only met one unhappy Airman and he complained about everything anyway. It's harder to get in though, high standards, etc. you'll generally be looked at as soft from most branches but who really gives a fukk. Plus airmen go to Afghanistan, Iraq, do spec ops, etc.

Navy isn't bad, it could just be a lot better. They don't punish admin for fukkups like they do in most branches (from what I heard) so they always fukking up people paperwork, their pay, etc. Navy is really rank happy so if you don't got a lot of patience, you'll get in some trouble quick because motherfukkers will try u because of rank. I joined the Navy because you get a broader amount of training so when you're done you can be a cop, fireman, logistics, truck driver, or do multiple positions in your rate. It just gives you more options when you get out IMO, and that's what I was focused on

My bro was in Marines, said it was a lot of dumb shyt but he appreciated the training and people he met. But Marines barely did shyt for him when he got out other than made him nice with guns and benefits.

I know a lot of people in Army and like it. A few of my homies is like 28 and both E8's. Plus most hoes like Army because they think they're tougher than other branches and not as crazy as Marines, but they are usually just some hood booger bytches. Army dudes are aight tho, some are dumb af tho.
