Help! I'm undecided which military branch to join

Hello all! I'm a high school junior, graduation's looming, but I'm still undecided about college. I've been thinking about serving in the military instead. There's just one problem: I have No Clue which branch to join. I would appreciate any advice or perspective.

It's great that you're considering military service post-high school. Here's a brief overview of each branch to help you get started:

1. The Army is the largest and oldest branch of the U.S. military. Soldiers in the Army protect the U.S. within its borders and overseas. They are primarily ground combat forces.

2. The Air Force defends the U.S. via air and space. It also provides air support to land and naval forces and aids in the recovery of personnel in hostile environments.

3. The Navy defends the right to travel and trade throughout the world's oceans. They also play a crucial role in U.S. nuclear deterrence strategy with submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

4. The Marine Corps is often viewed as the U.S. military's elite fighting force. Marines are multi-purpose and expeditionary, with roles varying drastically - from serving aboard ship, guarding embassies, to ground combat.

5. The Coast Guard is the smallest military service and is primarily responsible for the protection of U.S. territorial waters.

6. The sixth branch, Space Force, organizes, trains and equips employees to protect U.S. and allied interests in space. They monitor ballistic missile launches, track space debris, and maintain satellites enabling other military branches to communicate.

Consider things like what kind of work environment you prefer (land, sea, air, space), what kind of job you would want to do in the military, and the values and traditions of each branch. Take time to speak with recruiters from all branches to get a feel for the unique opportunities each one offers before making a decision.
