I am a female and i really want to join the military family, and i am planning on joining asap. Everyone(family and friends) do not think I should,my brother just graduated from bmt and he does not want me to join, but im not going to let them stop me! I have been looking around online and talking to people and I have narrowed it down to either the army or air force, but i am still lost! i completely understand the fact that in the army there is more of a chance to go to war and bad living conditions, but i don't care about that.
how do i know which one is right for me?
how do i get people to support me and help me?
thanks!!

Supporting your country is what counts....

Army or AirForce.............all I can say is DO SOMETHING that you can do when you do decide to get out.....

I've been retired for 1 year from the Army....many arguments can be brought up for either...

Do what you think is right.....as for your family....well that maybe a lump of sugar you may have to take by yourself....

You don't. Life is full of a bunch of decisions. You decided Air Force or Army, we don't know how. But now the choice is easier. I am retired Army.

You are welcome.
Go see both recruiters, make sure you can even get in and you may have a wait. Go see the other recruiters also...

Enjoy this prior to it getting deleted...

He doesn't want you to join because he thinks you'll "mess around" with your superiors...

Best advice, avoid the military family...Find a way to exceed in the private sector

Air Force members have the highest standards of living comfortably
Army members get promoted/demoted quicker

If you enjoy physical activity join the army, if you want be in the military but feel like that you are in the business world join the ZOOMIES!

I have served a year in the army but retired from the Air Force

I did 24 years in the Air Force; been retired 2 years. We get promoted much slower. Over 20 years you will make more money in the Army. But, quality of life is better in the Air Force.
