My recruiter just called and he'll be here on Wednesday to talk to me and my mom. I've been thinking ALOT about the army, and how i really want to be in it. BUT i guess we'll see.
I honestly don't have a favorable opinion of the army at all. I had a lot of friends in the 133rd (of the Maine Army National Guard) who were in Iraq for a year. One of my friends is going back to Iraq in February, after he just returned last March. They try to make it seem like you will only have to go to drill a couple weekends a year, but they can so easily activate you and send you off to war. It is also hard to adjust and go to college after you get done. It's entirely your decision, but I know a lot of people who regret ever joining.
If you were really looking to join the military, I would recommend the Air Force first. Both the Army and Marines will easily ship you off to the desert. As for the Navy, my ex is in the Navy and recently got shipped to Japan (thus why we broke up). Being confined to a ship for months at a time is no fun at all... I know he definitely doesn't like it and I know I wouldn't as well.
