Army Usmc
Army or USMC? I'm looking at which branch to commission in and I was wondering what's best on the family?
My dad was in the Air Force for 33 years and I know what it's like to be family of a person in the military. I was wondering based on you guy's experience which branch Army or USMC would be better on my potential family. As far as housing, time away, facilities...any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Of the two, the Army would have the better chance of stability for your family, even though there is not much difference.
What would really matter would be your job in each of the services. If you end up working as some type of strategic planner/asset type job in Military Intel for example, your family would be more stable then as an Infantry Officer, Army or USMC would not matter. The Army does have more of those positions though.
Also, the USMC is expiditionary by nature and is built around that. The Army is also expiditionary now, but still has the strategic and long war aspects of war as well.
Overall, both will not be easy on a family.
