What's the difference between the Army and the Marines? Does one rank higher than the other? Which would you recommend to a girl that wanted to join either or??
thspiral answered Thursday May 25 2006, 11:55 am: One of the answers given is that "the marines are in the army". This is not true at all; the Marines and the Army are 100% separate branches in the US military.
Both the Marine corp. and the Army have many opportunities for women recruits. Traditionally the Marines boot camp is considered to be more difficult than the other three branches of service, but not so much as to base your decision on it.
The best way for you to make an informed decision will be for you to get into touch with your local recruiter, and go spend some face-to-face time with them. They will be able to review your work, school and personal history and give you some good pointers.
My opinion (and you know what they say about opinions) is Marine corp.
Here are the recruitment websites for both branches:

If you opt for the navy of course you would have to like water a lot, beacuse you may spend a lot of time at sea. My son is in the navy cadets, (he loves it) but we are in australia, and its different where you are.
both careers have great pay, so its just a matter of reading a bit about both, then making an educated decision.
cheers

But since they are in the army; I believe that they are very high ranked.
It personally depends on your point of view on which one you want to join.
If you think you can make it pass, to actually serve on the marines, then go for it.But they are very strict.
But if you would just rather
join the army; as in not top notch and as hard work.
It's personally your opinion.
I would like to be a Marine though.
But that's just me.
