Service choices?

[JDCitizen]

After a brief overview: Looks like Army postings and Navy posting far out distance the Air Force postings (or at least recently).

Anyone have any "big" factors of why you went one branch over the others?? Just curious and hope no offense is taken..

I myself from outside observation would think Army, Navy, Air Force could be ranked in areas of tougher training / expectations (former tougher)?

Rank expectation would be more easily obtained at first Air Force over the others? Don't know about over the long haul.

Deployment longer Army, Navy, Air Force (former longer). Although I hear to Air Force is going to go up to 6 months??

Housing: Better Air Force than Navy than Army??

My choice has been Army...because (mostly) for mu prior Army Service. Aside from that though, I would think that Promotions would come quicker in the Army due to size, same goes for duty station/Nurse specialty availability.

The initial training may be a little tougher (soldier training wise, not nurse training) but I do not know.

The Army has, at least for now, dropped Nurse deployment to 6 months, so that is not as much an issue as it may have been before.

I have heard that Housing id definitely better in the AF. Though I did not think that it was that bad in the Army (10 years ago).

Although the prospect of becoming a flight nurse in the AF is interesting, I imagine it is a highly sought after position (thus harder to come by) I am not sure if a comparable position is available in the Army or not?
