Should I join The Navy or Air Force

Red370 · 09-17-2009, 11:24 AM

Neither. Right now, the Air Force and Navy are downsizing and involuntarily seperating thousands. If you want to stagnate at E-4 for 5 or 6 yrs, join the AF. If you want to rank up based on your test taking ability, join the navy. If you want to get promoted based on job performance and leadership ability, join the Army. Soldiers can go from E-1 to E-6 in 4 yrs, based on the job. Unless your the type that wants to avoid conflict and collect college benefits and a paycheck for sitting behind a desk. Make the smart career decision here, join the ARMY!! And yes, I was a recruiter. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

He's becoming an officer. I know officers are also downsizing but I think he's quite safe with his career route.

but didnt he use the term "enlisting"? not "commissioning"? and I believe the Army/Marine officer corps promote faster than the AF/Navy

You can't go wrong with either or, but of course I'm going to say AF (bias). Also, I work with many Navy O's, and ...for me, can't get into the "Navy customs and culture" and treating a building as if you were on a ship (terminology, ceremonies, etc). However, these Navy tradition are "history" which dates back during the revolutionary days, while the AF tradition is less than 100 years old.

For the AF, they completed the downsizing and now just maintaining the numbers. There are talks of possible upsizing.
