I just got done speaking with the recruiter for a good two and a half hours. Got a lot of information and a lot of questions answered. I was pressured about the pros and cons of active duty, but I don't know if I can commit to a job that I don't see my future career being built around.

I'm probably going to enlist in the USAR rather than go active. I'm not terribly worried about going overseas, but if the time comes - so be it.

How many casualties has the Navy sustained in Iraq?

F_B is right. The Army and Marines are trained to eat bullets.

They pave the way for the Navy and Air Force.

Actually, the Navy and Air Force pave the way for the grunts. They soften up the enemy's defenses to hopefully make the ground attack more effective.

You'll never see the Army or Marines mount a ground assault without sending in the air support first (unless it's a covert op).

Kevin,
You should really PM Three_Bags_Full. I was seriously considering joining the Navy or Army to become a pilot at the beginning of January (then I got a job in Hawaii, which changed my mind) and TBF was tremendously helpful with all the questions I had.

He gave me lots of advice and cut through a lot of the bullshit a recruiter might tell you. After a lot of research and his help, I felt I would be able to make an informed decision. I accepted the new gig instead, but if it doesn't work out, I'll still have a good amount of knowlege to decide if I want to join the service.

Good luck with your decision.

But they soften from a distance. Big difference if I was making that decision.
