for me, it was the best thing i ever did with my life at the time. rock summed up the branches pretty well; doubt if they've changed that much since way back. if you talk to recruiters, don't talk to just one branch. those guys are slicker than owl shit and will promise you the moon just to get their quota. and don't forget to look at the coast guard...
it also might help to talk to a few people that are currently in the armed services to get their perspectives...
