deciding what military branch to join
Instructions. First you have to determine the education level for the branch and sect of service you want to join. If you want to come in as an enlisted member, all you need is a high school diploma, or in some cases, a high school GED. If you want to join as an officer, you will need a college degree. Next you have to choose the branch. You can choose between the Air Force, the Navy, the Marine Corps, or the Army. Or, you can choose to go with the Department of Homeland Security and join the Coast Guard. The Army is probably the easiest branch to join at this point, while the Air Force is probably the hardest as they are cutting troops at this time.
