If you do decide to join the Air Force, step one will be making sure you're physically fit enough to join. Checkout the Air Force PT fitness requirements here: www.airmanvision.com/bmt#air-force-pt-test

All my friends are joining air force so I decided to join the marines to 1-up them oorah. Cant wait to be homeless soon.

Just wait for the Space Force to have space infantry, ODST Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, "Jumping Feet first into hell".

Made the best decision in my life to join the Salvation Army.

20 year Air Force retiree here. Never got shot at, never slept in the dirt and never ate a single MRE. Got my own dorm room to my self without a roommate. I deployed to Italy 3 times, stayed in a 5 star hotel, got $80 a day in per diem and a free rental car. Air Force gets by far the most money from the government so Air Force folks have the best facilities and are treated the best. The chow halls are amazingly good compared to other branches, almost as good as a restaurant.

I served 20 years in the Navy, and loved every second of it. If I hadn’t failed my flight physical, I would of stayed in. I was smart with my money, and fully retired at age 38 and haven’t worked a day in 14 years.

I like how I am already in the military watching this

“WE RAN OUT OF CRAYONS”

Navy is so underrated. Its a very unique experience to any other branch but there’s so much adventure and journey ahead.

Thats cooler than just talking in front of a camera

I honestly thought this was going to be a 10 second video just saying “join the Air Force”

I feel like the Army is the best for balanced individuals who prefer a little bit of everything. I feel like this is the best summarization Marines=Maximized combat scenarios Navy=Maximized travel opportunities AirForce= Maximized technical skills for civil life. CG= Between travel and life skills. Army= A little bit of everything

My dad was in the army, shared barracks with some airmen, the airmen were paid more because they weren't living in airforce living conditions

I'm in between Marines and Air Force... Which is weird because they seem to be complete opposites

The Coast Guard has fewer rates because each rate does more

Navy: *has worst living and education* Me who likes being on ships and couldn’t care for college: “I see this as an absolute win!”

If you graduated highschool in 1968... none of them.

You should probably break down the special operations opportunities in each branch as well. There are quite a alot of them and they operate differently than a normal unit.

Air Force takes top honors for living conditions. On a deployment with two Air Force guys, 82 Marines and Sailors stayed in lare double wall tents in Tamp during the summer. The AC units they used were so good you had to use an extended cold weather sleeping system to survive the cold. The Marines and Sailors were pretty happy with that. The two Air Force guys had one of those tents to themselves, and were given hardship duty pay for that. Had those been GP tents I would not have been surprised, but we got great tents to stay in during the job project.

If I were going to join the military, I'd probably join Airforce even though I feel like not getting deployed would take away from the "military" feel. Almost makes me want to look into the army..

You're always going to feel second-rate standing next to a U.S. Marine. Especially, one who was in the infantry.

"Some people join the airforce and have bad living conditions their whole career"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I joined the AF in 1963, probably many decades before you were born. Interestingly, I would agree with the majority of your assessment on the various services. I spent 20 years in the AF working in signal intelligence. Many of my assignments were at locations that did not even have airfields. I traveled extensively, and ended up in locations most people never heard of. I also did several assignments with Army, Navy and on occasion Marines on their bases/facilities that did the same type of intelligence work. I thank my lucky stars that I chose the AF. While in the AF, I obtained an Associate of Science degree from the Community College of the AF (a great opportunity and benefit). After 20 years in the AF and retiring 37 years ago I went to get a BSEE and an MBA using my GI benefits. What I've learned in my life is that there will be buttholes in the military and civilian life as well. Ignore them and press on. If they are you superior in the military, just do what you have to do to stay out of trouble. Eventually either you or the other person will move on and the problem is gone. In the civilian world, there are usually opportunities elsewhere. My take on the military branches goes like this; the Army and Navy are administered as you would expect most traditional military organizations to be, the Marine Corps is more like a cult, and the AF is run more like a corporation. I'm not sure what to make of the Coasties. Never had much contact with them. I do know that in times of war they become part of the Navy. In fact maybe they are now and no longer part of the Treasury Department?

The level of quality of this video is unlike any other video I’ve seen on this topic. Great job Kyle

C'mon guys join the "CHAIR FORCE"

Army: lots of opportunities and sfs Marine: if u like tough challenge Air force: if u are good with technology Navy: if u like water and travel Coast guard: if u want really chill life, this is for you.

🎖 About 30 days till I go into the Air Force, thanks for all the videos.

After this video I really don’t understand why the Coast Guard gets flammed so much...

Marines don’t consider every travel as deployments....a deployment is when you get deployed overseas for over 5 months and a “detachment” is within the states for 5 months or less

I guess more people join the army because the army has a balance of everything?

Why i want to join the military: for most of my life i feel like i haven't made a difference, that i haven't amounted to anything and believe that i couldn't become someone. I felt like my life has no purpose and there was nothing i could do, but the idea of the military changed that for me, it made me feel like i could help my country, help me mentally, and make something out of my life instead of a nobody playing video games in there late 30's. I want to help people, i have experienced a lot of losses in my life, my mother at age 13, my grandpa at age 11, my grandmother at age 17, i was powerless to help them while they were suffering from cancer and other illnesses, my devotion to help people and make a difference is why i choice to join the army

U dnt kno how great n helpful thus video is to young ppl considering

🏅going Army! Love how in every topic you brought up they may not have been the best but they were always in contention for top 3. Consistency is always nice

Army all the way, even though it lives up to its reputation as about average. It's funny, but at least the Army is consistent! I would only choose Army or Air Force for total quality of life; the other three are way too unpredictable.

Just got accepted into the Air Force. Glad I made the right pick.

It doesn't matter what branch you join your all fighting for the same reason and your country is proud of you :) ♥️

The living conditions part had me dying but I love your honesty, I know some air men dont like admitting that they live in royalty compared to Marines. Ive been forced to stay in condemned barracks for training hahahahah good times.

you a savage bro nobody else was making a more thorough informative video good work and thanks for your service

This was literally the most helpful video!

I was in the Navy. Living conditions on ships are the worst. If you are on shore duty it is great and you can go home everyday. Instructor duty is the best job in the Navy.

Thanks Kyle!Along with Life is a Special Operation,this is the best video determining which branch someone should join!

Marine and proud of it 🤙🏼

🏅 thank you for all this helpful info! I had been leaning more so towards the AF in the first place and Navy second - sticking to it but now I know there’s MORE opportunities in Army - depending upon the job I want - thank you buddy! ✌🏻

Marines all the way

A pretty good video overall. My background was as a Marine Infantry GySgt. Now retired. My list included earning dress blues, my DI cover, and seeing combat and did all three. A couple of observations though; First, no one goes right into any of the branch's special ops (and yes each has them, to some degree) you go in to a field, then are screened and if you make it past screening, you go to school. I'd say most of the ops schools have around an 80 to 85% FAIL rate. Second, a lot of recruiters don't tell you, but they guarantee you the school not the job. It's up to you to pass it. If you fail your school, you're not out of your contract, but you may end up learning how to cook for four years. Now in the Navy and Marines (not sure about Army or Air Force) the Marines have what is called B billets, and I think the Navy calls it Neutral and Shore Duty. My two B billets were the Navy Base Rota, Spain, and four years at the Navy Air Station in Bermuda (now closed) While doing those various duties I was able to get a lot of education in as both bases had University of Maryland and City College of Chicago. Overall, my recommendations to youngsters I talk to are 1) Navy, see the world, get a solid job skill, never see front line combat (except for special ops, or those MOST AWESOME Navy Corpsmen assigned to the USMC) 2) Air Force, great everything but limited travel for most, kind of like being a civilian in a lot of ways 3. Marines, I spent over 16 out of 21 years overseas so did some traveling. 4. Army. Similar in many ways to Marines job wise but limited overseas bases to get stationed. As a whole, I would not recommend the Marines unless I personally know you, because even though the retention rate has gotten better I still hate to see youngsters fail. Hope this helps some.

I try to watch as many of your vids as possible 🎖

You pretty much made us a PowerPoint lmao. Good video, it’s nice for a format switch up, very informative. Thanks Kyle

Living conditions on navy deployment are way better than army. Sometimes in the army you don’t even get 3 meals. Atleast in the navy you have access to the galley on ship.

Thank you very much. Turned out to be Airforce and Army.

Thank you for this! I’m still deciding between joining the Air Force (since I took up AFJROTC in hs) or Navy (because my dad and many other relatives are veterans). I love the opportunities of the Air Force but, I treasure how much I got to travel and move around the world being a navy brat.

I enjoyed the visuals and voice over👍🏽

You make a better PPT presentation than most consultants!

4:25 great chart! Except I would include the other catagory of which branches have submarines as well.

Coast guard is actually a department of the navy during war time, and their experience on the water may not be war but they do travel to high risk areas especially in South America which can cause combat scenarios between drug rings, hostile locals and such.

Your assessment reminds me yrs ago when I was still in the Army and decided to change over to the Coast Guard. Sitting in MEPS listening to these kids oorahing and hooahing and talking about how badass they were going to be for their chosen branch. There I was sitting there with my “Hi I’m joining the Coast Guard” sticker badge, the only one that day as it were. Well these kids eventually saw my sticker and unsurprisingly started to berate this choice of branch as I’m sure most could imagine. At the time I was 6 months out from ETS from the Army and assigned in Spec Ops. I was former Infantry with so many identifiers I lost count. Anyways, I said nothing, just reached into my wallet and presented them with my ID card that showed I was a NCO in the Army. After they realized I then asked them “ Now what should that tell you?” They sat down and stayed quiet the rest of time in that room.

Nice vid!! This vid just solidified that the Air Force is right for me.. and I can see this helping a lot of people who are unsure which branch to join! Thank Kyle!!!🏅

I’ve been researching the enlisting and service process for several years and I wasn’t able to decide whether I wanted Navy or Army. Although I’ve done tons of personal research it’s been very difficult for me, but this video helped me see the big categories and decide what is most important to me. Once I am cleared by my doctor it’s right to the Army for me! 🏅

Going to Air Force Officer Training School sometime this year. Hopefully I'm going to be a pilot.

This video format is excellent! Very easy to follow - I like the points system - well organized - keep it up man!

This was a very informative video...love especially the last part when you were tallying it all up

Enjoyed the video man...Airforce all the way :) July 16th, BMT is coming fast.

Loved the video Kyle, you definitely helped me with a tough decision.

Looks like I picked the right branch for me. Glad I chose the Air Force. I even got the AFSC that I wanted. Aerospace Propulsion (2A6X1) I ship off in August this year. Hopefully I have good experiences in the mechanical field. I signed up for 6 years instead of 4 before I watched your videos so I’m hoping I like it 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for the information!! Hopefully I chose the right branch🤞🏼🏅🏅🏅

FiNISHED wished it. Was a good presentation! TY!

My son, if he survived a terrible auto accident he would have join the USAF. I know he would have loved it. God bless and thank you so much for your service. ❤

Thanks for the help! Would love it if you had gone more in depth on jobs, cause I’m very interested in medical opportunities and other trainings offered by each branch. But thank you! Super helpful!

🏅Great video!! I knew I was best fit for the Airforce!💙💙💙💙💙

Wonderful video. Great way to break it all down and get straight to the point! 🥇

Awesome video and amazing content. This is very helpful, and you broke it down flawlessly.

Love the vid definitely say that you should continue this format of vids when comparing different areas of the military it really helps I am personally looking forward to going to meps soon for the Air Force.Keep going strong man and thank you for all the information!

Super Accurate and descriprive👍🏾🇺🇲

Hey man this really helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

Coast Guard can travel a lot when on a cutter. Thank you for the content, very great!

I a marines but I love watching ur vid

🇺🇸Kyle great video man. Just sent this to my son to watch. I’m a retired Air Force vet myself. Keep up the good vids man! 🤘🤘

Thanks for the info specifically about the air force 👍🏾

Navy has a really great program to help their own get a civilian job.

🎖🏅🥇🥈🥉 The navy is for me Even though i live in south Africa Im training already for bootcamp

Thank you for the break down made my mind !

I love these vids, they're so informative.

I leave for Army basic training on July 8th, but I’ve been watching your videos for years (since before I even knew for sure I wanted to join). I considered the Air Force and the Marines before deciding on the Army. Thank you for putting your time and effort into your videos this entire time. Thank you for helping thousands and thousands of people over the last several years. You’re awesome and a fantastic resource for people interested in joining or just learning. Love from Kentucky

Clarification for the Coast Guard regarding the travel opportunity section. There are opportunities to volunteer for Middle Eastern billets and the potential for European billets; however, the chances of getting a European billet are low and if you're joining the CG, you most likely won't be seeking a Middle Eastern billet. All the other branches most definitely still have more traveling opportunities.

Excellent video. I am looking into becoming a military chaplain

🏅👍🏽🏅👍🏽 Thank you for being so detailed with your information. Also the graphs were helpful.

I couldn't help but notice the civilian job compatibility section for the marines...yes a majority of us take up the infantry but behind that we have a plethora of MOS that transfer over really really well into the civilian world. Not to mention a lot of certifications that make it even easier.

I like the new style. Maybe switch it up based on how factual vs how opinion based the content is? The only thing with this video I disagree with is the civilian equivalent jobs for the Navy being so low. Much of the Navy is either mechanical or electronic or both. Those skills are transferable to a ton of civilian sector jobs. Especially nukes.

More organized and put together video 👌🏼

Thank you for serving

This video provided useful information. I like the graphs, they were helpful. However I like seeing your facial expressions over some text on the screen.

Great video, Kyle! I like this format. Can you do a video on ribbons/awards?

Very helpful and reassuring, thank you!

effective presentation. thank you

The Marines are always special in a unique way

My heart says Airforce because of living conditions and career opportunities but my heart, my heart says MARINES!

Fantastic video, wish I had this when I was 18 and looking to enlist

🏅I am going Air Force thanks for the information!

🏅 so informative! Thank you so much! I was considering the Air Force but your chart and information helped me see that the army might be a better fit for myself!

I got a top secret clearance and when I retired from the Air Force I was able to step right into a management job at the top of my career field solely based on my AF resume.

This video helped me SOOOOO MUCH, thank you so much with this GREAT presentation and clear explanations.
