At or in war time the only choice is Marines, but peace time for a career choose Air Force, Too much games playing in the Marines but Air Force is a job, think it stems from Marine thinking about how tough they had it or pay back and makes your life miserable. Air Force is laid back and less restrictive. DON'T believe Marine Recruiter trust the Air Force guy, the pay is the same benefit same unless you want to play head games.
Security clearance given by state department not recruiter or boot camp. Air Force is the way to go.............
Security Clarence is not given by either the USAF or USMC, it is given by the Department of Defense. Just because you don't get security clearence doesn't mean you can't serve. If all you care about is benefits than you might as well not join my beloved brotherhood or any other branch in the military.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
