There are so many pros and cons of joining the military, and of course, the only person who can make that decision is you. From my experience, each branch can offer you different incentives and bonuses, so definitely check with recruiters from all of the military branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the National Guard. I have been told by many individuals that the Air Force is the most "accommodating" of the forces, however, I know that the Army has stipulations that do not allow women on the front lines. As you can see, each branch is very different. The best thing you can do is talk to recruiters for the facts of what they can offer, and talk to current or former military personnel to understand what they actually went through. You may also want to research the internet to find discussion board postings from other individuals like yourself.
