Let's say WW3 is right around the corner, but the military is letting all registered for the draft a chance to join now and choose/test into a branch of the military/field of choice. For those of you that are, or those that are a couple years away, what would you choose? explain your choice if you want to.

For me it would be field commander in the Air Force. My dad is Air Force, and that is a very highly-appealing position for me, as I have thousands of hours of training, thanks to Command and Conquer :P

Depends. If we're going up against Russia or China, I am NOT going to join any branch that focuses on ground warfare. particularly if it's against the former. I think the Navy would be where it's at.

Air Force..

thats actually against war treaties...

Whichever will see the lowest level of active combat. :PGabuEx

unless you're doing combat flights, bomb runs or in-field on-site objectives, air force will see the least.

whatever branch gave me control of the most powerful weapon.....Omni-Slash

Air Force. Army says launch, Air Force says how may and where?

Depends. If we're going up against Russia or China, I am NOT going to join any branch that focuses on ground warfare. particularly if it's against the former. I think the Navy would be where it's at.Verge_6

THey should make a new branch, where all the soldiers are robots being controlled by gamers like an FPS. The soldiers would be more effective, and no lives would be lost!

Personally i would opt for the Air Force. I would be happy anywhere though, considering it is estimated 90% of casualties in another possible WW would be civilians.

Well, i'm already joining so...

I've just gotten back from MEPS (Horrible day that was) a day ago and should be shipping off to basic in a couple months. I'll be joining the USAF and my MOS will probably be something in electronics (It was an open contract, so i picked 6 job options). Atleast, until i finish off my bachelors after i get situated after tech school, of which i will then apply to be an Officer (Fighter Pilot). So if there is a military crisis, i will most likely still be USAF :P

I would try to get an office job. You know, startegist or something. If I had to FIGHT, I would go Air Force. At least then I wouldn't have to see the face of the person I kill. I don't like the idea of killing people, it goes against my morals...

They wont let you into the military if you are against the idea of killing people. You wouldnt get past the MEPS. conscientious objectors are simply not allowed in the military, no matter what your MOS (Atleast that's the impression i got from MEPS).

seeing as how both previous world wars did not involve every country nor did they require every person in every country actually involved to be in the armed forces, i dont think my presence in a branch would be necessary.

Not much love for the ground branches huh? Good luck taking a country with only a navy and airforce. If there is a WW3, I would join the Marine Ordnance Units. Nothing better then blasting some Chinese fools with a 105mm howitzer!

The chances of you flying a fighter jet are very small, seeing as how there are only a handful of spots. They will pick the most qualified person and fighter pilot standards are extremely high.

And if WW3 happened to break out i would joing the Army... hehe just kidding.

Yeah, they're not going to let any guy strap themselves into a $40-100 million jet. If you did end up joining the air force without the required credentials, you'd probably just end up in a ground unit.

Well, if the enemy develop's some kind of "state of the art" AA system, which is pretty hard to evade.... your screwed, seriously screwed.

The F-22 Raptor used by the Air Force is the most state of the art piece of technology in the entire world, it is near impossible to get a target lock on the raptor due to it's stealth design in the framework and its electronic counter measures, and even if you do the Raptor is capable of the most high performance manuvers in a fighter. The onboard computer avionics is advanced enough to handle alot of the flight mechanics itself taking a lot of weight off the pilot's shoulders and allowing for precision turns at high speeds and unorthodox manuvers at high speeds.

That's not to say the F-15 or F-16 are bad however. And as to those saying getting in as a pilot is near impossible..er, not really. The Airforce flies F-15's, F-16's, F-22's, and a variety of bombers and transports. We have bases all over the US, Europe, and south asia. All you need is some time logged in a Sesna (Not too expensive to get pilot lessons these days) and have good eyesight (or correctable to 20/20 eyesight) and a position open and they'll take you in as a pilot. Best bet is to go in as enlisted so you're in and getting military experience and then later go for the pilot-officer position as i am doing.
