You will be representing the US and thats all that matters. Although the Marines are known for being tougher you have to take everything into consideration. For example....if you get deployed....the Army are deployed longer...my bf's unit (USMC) was deployed for a year in this tour where as his friend (Army) is still deployed and is doing a 15 month tour. The Army is in the heart of the war zone and so are other armed forces, but Army is the ones that are losing more of our men. Just follow your heart. You'll make the right choice that way. like someone else said follow your heart…honestly anyone that you choose to be in people will be proud of you and people will talk bad about what you picked.

They let our enemy know that we are there, we are angry, and we are fighting. There is no force better suited in the Shock Force role than the USMC! High mobility, hard relentless fighting. The Army is primarily for the extended fight. Due to larger manning, and training, the Army is better suited for this role. The Air Force and Navy transport troops, and equipment, soften up the target, and support the Marines and Army. The Marines gain and maintain the foothold. The Army relieves the Marines, and pushes the battle forward, so the Marines can fight elsewhere or push the battle forward. All of our military forces are interdependent. And there will always be inter-service rivalry. We need each other. Happy Birthday USMC! The Marines are our first strike heavy hitters.

There used to be a recruiters office, when a young man walked in, to see what branch to assign him to, They would put him in a small room with a chair and a coffee table. On the coffee table, there was a physics book, a porno mag and a coloring book and crayons. The ones who picked up the physics book, were sent to the Air Force. The ones who picked up the porno mag, were sent to the Navy. Then they evaluated those who picked up the coloring book and colored in them. The ones who colored inside the lines, were sent to the Army. And the one who colored outside the lines, were obviously Marines. . First off, anyone who mentions how hard basic/boot is when making reference to what service to join, doesn't have a clue. Basic/boot is 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of your service. Infantry training/BCT is alot harder than anything you will ever do in basic/boot. Your pre deployment training is again, alot harder than anything you were ever ask to do in basic/boot. By the time you finish your first pre deployment training, what basic/boot you went to is meaningless. The biggest difference between the Army and the Marines is: While both are called on to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Marines still have the mission of of deploying in MEU's around the world. Marines are still sent to trouble spots around the world when something happens. IE: Tital waves, major earth quakes, revolutions that endanger US citizens or embassy's. On Iraq, you will hear both Marines and Soldiers, trashing each other over having relieved each other in certain areas. You have to get past the hype. The Army and Marines have different missions. Iraq has merged those missions together somewhat, due to the necessity of of maintaining troops levels there. If the Army was larger, Marines would not be in Iraq. They would have left after the initial invasion. Well an old timer once told me.
