Can I plug the Navy? You know, we have more planes than the USAF. Plus our blue cammies are cooler looking than the Air Force's blue cammies. And in my opinion, there is NO more awesome sight than watching flight ops aboard an aircraft carrier. Knowing you play a part in it is the most satisfying feeling I've had in the last 9 years. As long as you stay on the aviation side of the Navy, which you obviously would be drawn to anyway, I think it's the better choice. Unless you just plain don't want to go to sea for 6 months at a time every few years, then go for the Air Force. I don't know if the USAF will give you guaranteed training, but the Navy will. Plus with your AA you'll be eligible to come in at at least E-2 possibly E-3 depending on how many credits you have (45 used to be E-3, I don't know if it's gone up or not).
Either way, do your homework. If at all possible, take a current active duty member to the recruiter with you. Read everything you sign. Thank you for even considering military service at this time. It can be the best time of your life, or it can suck. It's all what you make of it and the attitude you take in. Boot Camp is designed to separate those who can't take it, just keep telling yourself you can make it and it'll be over before you know it and you'll be like "Is that it?"
Good luck!
