I do tend to agree here... I joined under Reagan, and got out under Clinton.bdickens wrote:None. No way. Not until the imposter squatting in the White House now is gone and a real CINC takes his place.

Re: If someone is going to join the military what branch and
I was Army (and darn proud of what I did), but I have to echo some of the postings I've seen below.
In the 20+ years that I've been out, I've never seen as proud a group of people as the former Marines that I've met. They have an incredible amount of honor, and they maintain a 'once a Marine, always a Marine' state of mind. If I had it to do over again, I would have considered the Marines for that reason alone.
And for the Coast Guard - they are amazing, indeed. They live in condition red whether in peace or in war. They have a huge responsibility to protect our nation's 'wet' borders from terrorism, drug smuggling, and illegal immigration, in addition to keeping vessels safe while they're in our waters. Plus, as the previous poster said, once you're in, you're part of DHS, and that can be a heck of a career path opener for you.
Best of luck to you, and thank you for wanting to dedicate yourself to protecting the rest of us!
