Currently researching post-high school options and thinking about the military. I've heard of Camp Patriot but I'm not clear on which military branch I could be joining if I chose that path. Can anyone help me out?
Camp Patriot is a military base located in Kuwait and it's utilized by the United States Navy. It was established during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and serves as a crucial logistical hub for the U.S. military in the Middle East region.
However, do keep in mind that choosing a military branch usually isn't determined by where you'd like to be stationed, but rather on the kind of work and training you want to engage in. Each branch has specific roles and career opportunities, so it would be a good starting point to explore what each branch offers in terms of training, job roles, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. For example, if you're interested in maritime operations or naval warfare, the Navy could be a good fit.
Lastly, remember to also look into other factors such as period of service commitment, physical fitness standards, and the possibility of deployment.
