have an idea of what you want to do. They'll try to talk you into a job they really need filled.
True, you get promoted faster in the Navy, but the quality of life in the Air Force is pretty nice. They are the only service that has their own degree program, unless something has changed in the past couple of years. Basically, all of your tech schools and any other military schooling goes towards an equivalent of an Associate's degree. So you get a degree for doing your job.
Any service you go into, you'll deploy, which is a great experience. The Army has a tendency to do it longer and more often.
Talk to all of them and see what suits you the best. Can't go wrong with any of them.

trust me, as being ex-army and seen what mechanics go through, you do not wanna do that.
unless you like working in the desert with ac that works sometimes, always missing parts, rediculous hours... oh yeah and 7 day a week work schedule when you deploy. being a mechanic while you are in garrison is okay though, its when you deploy that the suckage begins.
be a bad *** like i was, go infantry lol
