Army Cavalry Stetson

Marine Corps Infantry vs Army Airborne vs Cavalry Scout vs College?

I am really confused on what to do in the military or just go to college. The marine corps catches my eye because my grandpa was a navy corpsman and always talks about the pride of the marines and how they are the best branch of the military and how hardcore they are etc. etc. Airborne infantry has been something that i have always been interested in. There motivation to jump out of a plane and there double volunteer attitude in my mind is very cool and i think i would like to be with a group like that. Cav Scouts have a great tradition with the stetson and spurs and they seem to be a highly moto group of guys. My fear is that i will come out of the military with no motivation to go to college or be able to function in society. Can i please get some opinions! Thanks..

I was in the same position as you man, I always was set on joining the Army. But then everyone talks about the Marine Corps this and that(I had done my research on the USMC and was fascinated by the few the proud), so I went down to the recruiting office and almost enlisted until my dad made a good point that the Army has more opportunities and better living standards. I had always been interested in being a paratrooper. Just focus on the real reasons you want to join don’t look at what would make people think your a badass when your going to be unhappy. Good luck with your decision, in a way you already know what you want to do. The thing about being unmotivated for college is completely false I know alot of servicemen that make good of their GI bill and go to college.
