more favorable lifestyle? I'm 23 years old; and a recent college graduate with a B.S. in Economics. I've perused both the Navy and Air Force websites, and plan on setting up appointments with recruiters from both branches. I'm basically interested in the kind of career path that will give me a great range of business knowledge and experience while serving my country.

I understand these positions are similar and offer training in a very broad range of business fields. I'm hoping someone can give me an unbiased critique on the finer points of the benefits and lifestyle accompaniments I can expect from each branch.

Am I more likely to be shipped overseas with one branch or another?
Can I expect to serve a great deal of time aboard a ship in the
Navy; or will I likely be stationed at a naval port?
Are there monetary benefits that are exclusive to one branch and not the other?
Can I expect one branch to be highly competitive and the other lax?

So on and so forth; I have very little military knowledge and I'd appreciate any input.
