Every branch gets treated differently from the start of basic training. But that is because of what each has it's specialty in.

eagle arent you MI? you dont have much experience with the army aside from sitting behind a desk like you said the most of the army gets stuck doing. Kinda pisses me off because i sit in the damn field 2 weeks a month atleast sucking my ass off doing sqaud/platoon/company live fires and you say most of us sit at a desk

I have alot of Marine, Army, AF, NG, CG and Navy brothers and sisters and I tell you what. I cant stand them at times, lol. We all shared the same thing... Pride. Pride for our country, pride for serving and pride of belonging. At first I wanted to join the Corps for the Dress Blues (PLEASE DON'T EVER JOIN FOR A UNIFORM). My friends joined for other reasons. Some good and some not so good. The thing is you have to go for yours. I can't tell you to go Marines and not Army just because I went. You have to do it for yourself. I (Like others) can give you some advise. You know what.. My recruiter told me this and I Quote:

ya to be honest though the deciding factor that is making me choose marines at this point in time. is the pride, the training and the uniform. who knows i might change my mind

from my VERY limited experiences, do ROTC. Its a good way to become an officer, and in the end, you will have a college degree. Also, if you are worried about paying for college, you can get a scholarship from them. just my .02

My Uncle works at the university of wisconsin, and helps with the ROTC program there. (Prior marine, worked as a LEO, now professor in criminal justice there)
