Army - snuggle up with men outdoors in 2 man hooches
Air force - snuggle up with ... yourself in a nice hotel room....

*Edit.. And I'll shoot the first person who says I like to snuggle up to men! (cause thats besides the point) ;D*

If you're going for Navy reserves, you don't have to worry about too many blocks of 14 days at sea. Typically it is only a week at a time. Agree with the bonus being duty free, however foreign ports might need another look at. For West Coast reserves: Seattle, Seattle, oh yeah and Seattle.
Joking aside though. I have been in the reserves for 14 years and am still happy. Through training and contracts, amalgamation of trades, old reserve boats gone, new ones here, it's still my life. The friends you meet and what you learn is something you'll always have.
And like any job, you get out of it what you put into it. If you find a trade you like, a ship or unit that you are happy at, you're going to enjoy it all, bad or good.
Good luck!

NavyGunner expresses one person's opinion, contrary to the model and ideal of teamwork. The "whiney operators" fight the ship, everyone else supports them. The "officers" lead the ship's company. If you cannot buy into that, don't go navy. I do not know a lot about the naval reserve, but I do know about sense of belonging. The infantry and a ship's company both enjoy that wonderful product of "esprit de corps" like no one else in the CF.
Good Luck and make your own educated decision

Hello all i hope i dont get in trouble for this post.
I am considering joining the navy, but some people i know are scareing my away, by telling me that all that:
"the navy and military are is you work 20 hours a day, and only interact with military people in your work and social life.
you will no longer get to interact with the civilian world ever again.
You will be a working slave, who all that does is work and work and no fun.
Say good bye to your family as you will never see them if u have them.
your whole like what u eat and breathe is military"
Is that a true description, i totally hope not.
And yes i did look through the forums on here for answers.
Thank you once again, to all of your forum people

"20 hour days?" ---once in a while
"No contact with civilian world"? ---untrue
"work, work, and no fun"? ---There's a lot of work, but its often up to you whether its fun or not.
"Never see family"? --- I wouldn't say NEVER...
"Eat and breathe military" ---is that a bad thing?
So much depends on attitude...there are demands that will be put on you that you wouldn't experience in civi-life, but it can be a very rewarding time and experience if you look at it the right way.

Being on ship was honestly the best time I've had in the Marine Corps, working out, running on the flight deck, eating, sleeping, hanging out with your platoon, messing around with the Female Sailors, and of course Libo ports.
Nothing is more peaceful than looking out onto the open ocean watching the sunset, being on ship is time to reflect onto your life, sitting back smoking in the middle of the night feeling the ship rock side to side listening the to ship move you through the water, I love it.
If I ever left my beloved Corps, I would take a commission in the Navy, if I ever won the lottey I buy yacht and sail about world.
A day at sea, is a day added to your life.

Mostly men, and stinky, hairy ones at that. Some guys take the occasional water restrictions a little far.
I wouldn't join expecting to meet girls, you're better off going to pottery class.
Oh, and my favourite part of sailing, the flying kicks some serious arse! Oh wait, you've got to be Air Force to enjoy that part of sailing. ;D
