What branch of the military offers the best college programs?

Pros and Cons for all. Army offers best education, better college quality but harder to get into. Air force colleges are ok, and if you want to go in the military for a short time and look for a good job, Air force all the way. I went to a Navy academy and am very happy with what they did. There is never a best, just pros and cons.
 
First , think about this .. the military is NOT there for you to have a way to get into college .. you probably are going to only get enough money to pay for half of a public university.. I think you should evaluate other options
 
I want to join the military; but i dont want a career in the military I just want to join,serve,go to a good college and look for a good job (not in the military). Ive gotten all different answers from all different sources. Most have said the Navy.
 
The military does not send you college unless you either go to an academy or through rotc or through medical school. What you mean is the technical training. The navy does have some of the best technical training of all the branches. The nuclear program is really good but it is very intense and it is very hard to get into. What the military does offer is tuition assistance while you are in. You can get up to $4500 per year for part time college courses. You typically have to be in for a year to get this. As long as you earn your honorable discharge, you can then take advantage of the gi bill which will pay all tuition at state colleges for a 4 year degree. You also get $1000 per year (4 years total) for books and another $1000 per year for fees. On top of that you get basic allowance for housing while you are enrolled full time. It is based on the geographic location of your school but it is usually around $1500 per month and is non-taxable.

By the way, if you are trying to get a really good job, you need to study and take practice asvab tests so you are prepared for the tests. The better your score, the more choices you have.
