First off thank you Pugetsoundislander for going into the service to protect all us old folks you have never met. We all appriciate it for sure.
Your smart to look at all the services but I haven't heard you mention the Coast Guard. I have a young friend that is in that branch and from what he tells me it might be worth your while to check it out.
About the Army. My oldest son was in the tanks and served with honor. When his tour was up he joined the NG and was in that for a number of years. His major problem with the Army was how much trouble he had getting his collage money. It was always a problem getting them to honor their commitments. Something screwed up in the paperwork and they could never get it fixed.
Be very sure all the "i's" are dotted and "t's" crossed prior to signing on the dotted line.

Nate will make E-5 by the end of his deployment in December, 2 1/2 years after joining.
Due to his JRROTC involvement in high school he went in as an E-3.

I was an E-5 in my 4th year, NCOIC, Metals Processing Shop, in my 6th year I was eligible for E-6 testing but decided it was time for civilian life again. If I had it to do over again, I would have stayed in.
Originally posted by: TReX400 I had an air force instructor at the military police academy (in 1989) that had been in for 16 years and was and e-5. I was also an e-5 but i had only been in 4.5 years. I'm not sure if it's changed. On the other hand Air force doesn't go to sea for 6 months+ and that right there is a big +. And they all have the same college programs so don't let any recruiter BS you. What ever path you chose, make sure it's what you really want to do because it ain't easy little bro.

I made E-5 in 3 years, but then again there was a war on then too.
