I spent over 8 years in the AF. Best decision I ever made. I highly, highly recommend it. All branches offer great opportunities, but the quality of life is honestly better in the AF. That's not a knock at all on any other branch, but imo a definite fact.
Agree that the quality of life is better. In the Army, and I am pretty sure the Marines, you learn to embrace the suck. It makes you tougher.
I have a brother n law in the Army and a few friends in the Marines and they all use that same phrase. I almost switched to the Marines at about the 10 year mark but decided against it. Was actually talked out of it by a Marine Gunny who said I would regret it
Signed with the Braves and seems to be doing well
