MiIlitary advice
okay, I am in my last year of highschool and I decided I want to join the military. I have talked to both Army and Marine recruiters. They both are very nice and both described the kind of training very well(I think they were only so nice because they want me to sign up though). Im just not sure which one to pick. Can anyone give me any advice on either?
Ps. i am between Airbourne, the Rangers,or the Marines. I want to do the infantry aswell.

Go for Air Force! Pretty much for the same reasons the other person said.

I highly recommend that you pick something other than the marines or army. Navy or Air force.
The mentality of the ground troop branches of the Armed Forces is to train your body and then use you up. Everything about it is designed to extract every last bit of everything they can, and then discharge you when you are no longer a valuable piece of cannon fodder. The marines especially are all about this.
I would highly recommend you wait two years after graduating before joining the Armed forces as well, you should give living life a chance before you sign away your rights, freedom, and physical well being to the military.
The recruiters were nice. Yeah. They are there to get you to sign that contract and ship you off to boot camp. They can say practically anything, lie through their teeth to you, anything it takes to get your signature on paper. Once its there, they own you and will do with you whatever the hell they want. "Nice" is not what this is going to be like.
The Navy is by far the best branch of the service, one of my closest friends is an 8 year navy vet. You spend your time on ships, or on bases. You have the opportunity to learn skills through the navy that can translate to civilian life, and to study and take advantage of your GI bill from the comfort of on base housing, or at least a bunk on a ship.
