I am still very new to this so please bare with me. I am not currently old enough to join but I want to when I am. I want to join the Army because

1: My father was in it

2 I like the sound of being a soldier

3: I’ve heard they were better funded and more plentiful in numbers

4: Army is mainly on the ground while the Marines are amphibious

5: I like the uniform (Not that important I don’t think)

However I also like the idea of joining the USMC because they are the more elite branch of military and their standards are higher.

I know you can join the Marines and then join the Army after but I don’t know if I should join the Marines first and then switch to the Army after or if I should just start with the Army.

Like I said I am new to this so I don’t know a whole lot. If I missed something please let me know
