Hey everyone! I'm a rising junior thinking about a possible career in the military after high school. I'm curious, do we have any statistics on which branch most women choose to join? I'd love to have a clearer perspective as I make my decision.
Hello! From a statistical standpoint, the branch of the military with the highest percentage of women is the Air Force. As of the most recent available data, in 2022, the Air Force comprised about 21% of women tied with the Navy, also at 21%. These two branches have the highest proportion among the branches. It's crucial to remember that the best branch for you depends on your interests, skills, and career goals, not just the gender demographics. Look into the roles and opportunities each branch offers, and which one aligns most with your future plans!
