Air Force or Army?

[saraeh_w]

I've narrowed my choice down to Air Force or Army and I cant decide which is best for me. I am not doing this for the money and I tell my Army recruiter that when he mentions how much I can get of a bonus but its sounding more and more appealing everytime he says it. So here are the pros and cons of each to me.
Air Force Pros: Shorter deployments, more relaxed
CONS: I dont like how everyone makes fun of people in the Air Force about doing less work and not having to do much...I just dont want that negative stigma around me.
Army Pros: supposed $40,000 bonus, quicker promotions
Cons: Longer Deployments BUT you get hazard pay out of that too which is a pro in the con.....
I'm just thinking that with all the money I'm being "offered" ( I know nothing is true until its in writing ) I can pay off all of my debts and still have enough to buy a new car, or put in a savings account...or anything really.
I hear that the Air Force is nicer, but I'm really thinking about the Army. Need Help!

Army can be more of and adventure, Air Force more of a career choice.

Army, better stories and more fun, Air Force, better equipment, but never do anything.

Army, harder training, but worth it, Air Force....????

think of it this way

in the Army, the officers send the enlisted to war

in the Air Force, the enlisted send the officers to war

mull it over, lol, choose which works for you

Sounds like you pretty much have summed it up already, if you want the cushy life join Air Force if you want a real challenge join the Army.
