@DarthKenobi0: That all depends on your motivations for enlisting, and what kind of occupation you want to have once you're in. I can't really speak for much else outside of combat arms, but I can say that if you want to go infantry, go Marines; we have a MUCH higher survival rate, even when they send us into so-called meat grinders.
