Go for it. I'd suggest the USMC, thats what I did. Why? You go to Navy + Marine Corps schools, the best there are, but mostly because then you can say " I'm a Marine". Call it brain washing or pride or arrogance, but it's just a little bit different than saying I'm Army/Navy/Air Force. My 2nd choice would be the Coast Guard- Those Coasties were tough enough to go out in water I'd never look at going out in. As far as the dying thing- The 1st time I realized I could be dead real quick, the pucker factor got real high, Yup- scared, scared, scared. But I worked through it and I didn't fail my Corps, my buds, or myself. You aren't going to be challenged like that sitting in a cubicle in an insurance agency someplace in hometown USA. Your chances of seeing action are tiny. It take 10-15 Marines to support one grunt on the front. As far as the upcoming "war"- first off, it ain't happened, 2nd- we've got real leaders running things, and 3rd- I spent from 9/12/01 through 3/18/02 more in NYC backing up the NYPD. My first few days were spent at the mourge as security, (I'm a Cop). If we had been able to pre-empt the attacks we suffered, then I wouldn't have been looking at pieces of men, women and kids who their lives brutally ripped away by men who are little more than animals. THATS WHY WE SERVE. Semper Fi.
