Army EOD Vs. Navy EOD Vs. Air Force EOD?
well they are all very hard cause EOD is very very tough and one mistake and your out navy EOD is the toughest cause they put it under there special forces program so you have 6 months of special forces training (ie jumping from high altitude air planes, deep sea diving, SERE and so on) plus the 6 months of EOD school. so a total of 12 months of intense training second is army EOD which has 2 months of ordinance training then you go to EOD school which is 6 months. so a total of 8 months of training then is air force EOD which is just 6 months of EOD school. now EOD school is a Navy school and it is taught at only one base and its Eglin Air Force base in flordia around destin and panama city beach. every military branch goes to the same EOD school regardless of which branch your in. so for the hardest then yes the Navy is the hardest but thats mainly cause of the physical part since its special forces training and you have to pass it before they put you into EOD school so you have to pass 6 months of training then IF you pass you go to EOD school which is then no easy task a friend of mine who went thru, she went for the air force and she told me that out of the 15 who started the class with her only 2 passed (and yes she was the other one who passed) so that just gives you an idea on how intense it is lol and the Navy has a much much higher washout rate now granted she went thru about 2 years ago so since they are in a big need for EOD the training for Army and Air Force might be alittle more easier then when she went (easier as in if you fail a test they give you another chance cause usually it was pass or fail with a few exceptions on 2 trys but usually it was 1 try pass or fail) and then the other thing she said was hard was the location since your right on the beach you have a harder time of going out and having to much fun on the weekends since the base is right on the beach and in the best part of flordia so yea thats pretty much it in a nut shell but thats about the most information you can get about it since its a very secretive
Should I join the Army, Navy or Air Force?
Joining any one of the three is a matter of pride and honour.ARMY: Face it, an Army is a very important branch of the Armed Forces in any country. It does a really important task; either seizing control of land or defending the lands. If your country is not a very major economy but it is decent enough, then it is OK not to have a Navy or an Air Force, but an Army becomes a must. Because in such countries, no one would bother with aerial attacks. Army has to undertake missions in jungle and mountain warfare. And major countries must definitely maintain a very strong Army. Borders are very crucial, because most of attacks occur only through ground, as ground attacks are cheaper and easier to execute.NAVY: A Navy is really crucial if your country has a long coastline. Most of the smuggling routes are through seas and oceans. So the Navy can stop those. Moreover, any major country must have a strong Navy. It is because invaders from a very far away land will come through sea route only. Before they reach land and wreak destruction, they must be finished off at sea itself. It is also helpful to have a strong. Navy when during war, your aircrafts need to reach far-off foreign lands. It is the aircraft carriers in the Navy that help in that transportation, to save the fuel of those fighter jets.AIR FORCE: An Air Force is also a must for very major countries, in addition to a Navy. Because an aerial attack is the worst one can ever face. An Air Force is the most powerful branch of the Armed Forces in any powerful country. It can wreak much more destruction than the Army or Navy. Maintaining a strong Air Force also becomes a necessity. Plus, it can also provide a lot of support to the Army, when the Army Aviation Corps do not have enough aircrafts. Your enemy country can go to the extent of full-fledged aerial attacks if your country is a major economy. That is why air bases are in major cities. Oh and an Air Force is also very helpful in conducting rescue operations where an Army alone won't be enough.I hope I have given you enough information about all the three services. You decide what to join.
Army life vs Navy Life and Air Force life?
So a little background. I am Ex Army (13F) 173rd ABN . With having said that I was also thinking about continuing my military service in either the Navy or Air Force. I decided to look into these branches because I have a few friends who are serving in them and told said a lot of **** that flys in the Army would never be done in their branches... Don't get me wrong I am happy I did my part and am in no way knocking the US Army but there was a lot of thing that seemed unprofessional. Well to name a few the Army facilities were very out dated and run down the DEFAC had roaches the Barracks I stayed in were old/ worn out (pre WWII to be exact) a lot of people would become "Rank Happy" and abuse their authority as well as hazing each other alcohol abuse was extremly high as well as domestic violence it seemed like every weekend there would be DUIs/DWIs and alot of people were very undisciplined and to be honest there was alot of "**** Ups" SO my main question is for people that have experienced other branches of service, Is this also common in the Navy and Airforce?? by what i have heared and seen saliors and airmen seem to have more class and conduct them selves in more professional manors in comparison with the army? once again I am not trying to trash talk the US Army noe am i saying this is an army wide thing it is just my experiance I am just trying to make a comparison by between branches of service by analyzing facts?? Thank you for any feed back
What is the difference between Army, Navy and Air Force?
Here are basic key differences between our three defense forces.Key Difference:Army: (Established in the Year 1947)The Army is the oldest branch of the military. The Army is considered to be the ground force of the military. The term ‘Army’ is derived from Latin word “arma” meaning “arms” or “weapons’. The Army is a land based military branch is responsible for dealing with threat faced on land. The Army operates on land, while the Navy operates at sea.Motto of Army – Service Before SelfRanks & Structure:Navy: (Established in the Year 1775)The navy is responsible for conflict or threat that is in the country’s waters. The Navy can take on different tasks such as transportation, search and rescue, and logistic activities, but the Navy is focused more on battles on land. Navy is considered to be the defender of the seas. While those serving in the Navy also operate on land, their main mission is in the sea. The Navy can handle battles from miles away, while the Army faces conflicts at closer proximities. The Navy is also a main supporter of the Air Force in providing air force carriers for transporting aircraft and providing a runway at sea for aircraft. Like the Army and the Air Force, the Navy does have a reserve component associated with it.Motto of Navy – Shaṃ No Varuṇaḥ(May the Lord of the Water be auspicious unto us)Ranks & Structure:Airforce: (Established in the Year 1932)The Air Force is the most recently established branch of the military and was officially established as a separate branch. Its main purpose is to support the security of the country through air surveillance. Airforce is the main supporter of ground forces by providing air support during missions.The motto of the Air force – Nabhaḥ Spr̥śaṁ Dīptam.(Touch the Sky with Glory)Ranks & Structure:In most countries today, all 3 services are largely independent of each other, but they are still highly cohesive usually to support each other’s operations. These three wings of Indian Defence are Responsible for security on land, air, water.
Pros and cons of army vs air force?
Im having a hard decision of joining army or air force. I really want to either be a pilot or a/c loadmaster in air force and travel the world, but then again I would also like to be a diver (21D) for the army because i love being in the water. Can someone give me the details for both these branches & careers?
Army vs. Air Force vs. Marines vs. Navy.?
Air Force.... I think you have the right idea "Never do anything just because it's easy". You sound like you want more of a challenge than than the average airman, and you don't sound like you'd be happy there in the long run. Marines... If you wanted to be a Marine, you'd know it. People who fit the Marine lifestyle don't ask for advice on whether or not the marines are for them, they just suck it up and do it. Be prepared to hurt getting through boot camp. So, Army or Navy... Yes, the Army has the longest deployments of the services, you'll probably go for 12 months the way things are now. The Navy's deployments are a little shorter, but... just how comfortable is that ship?? Medic's a good choice, great potential on the outside after your career is up as well. I hope you're not squeamish around blood though. Just think of the nastiest bloodiest mess a person can be left in after getting hit by an IED.... and it's your job to put humpty-dumpty back together again. Are you up to that? Flight mechanics are also a very good choice, again with very good opportunities on the outside. They're crazy busy in the field, as aircraft need constant maintenance... but you may find this pace appealing. I'm just saying it's not a career path for anyone looking to sit back and just collect an easy paycheck. Have you considered the Warrant Officer career path as well? Sitting somewhere between enlisted and officers, warrants are technical specialists in their field. Generally speaking, they don't micromanage personnel the way NCO's or officers do, but focus on mission equipment and procedures. If your interested in aircraft, going warrant might actually be a good path to get you into flying them, rather than wrenching on them.
Army Doctor vs Air Force Doctor?
I am a pre-medical student. I'll be applying to medical school in 10 months and after acceptance I'll be applying for the HPSP. I've wanted to join the military for years and when I decided to go into medicine I felt this was the perfect opportunity to serve. I'm married and intend to have children so I'm inquiring as to the differences between the lifestyle for an Army Doc and an Air Force Doc. I've spoken with recruiters on both sides and have hated each time because they spend all their time telling me what the other branch DOESN'T do rather than simply tell me what I can look forward to in their specific branch. I am curious about which moves docs around more often. Which one will send me to Germany/Japan and things? I've done a lot of research but I just can't seem to find any actually military docs to answer these questions!
Navy Intelligence vs. Air Force Intelligence?
The Air Force will give you a better quality of life (think AC, toilets with doors on them, edible food at the dining facility, amenities, luxuries, etc). Also, the Air Force has far more boots on ground in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, where intel is essential, so I imagine you'll have a lot more to do. The Air Force does a lot more than just fly jets, we run convoys, conduct patrols in combat zones, etc- they're much more combat-oriented than they were even 5 years ago. This means that you must compile information about their routes and patrols and put the information together into briefings to help save lives and assets. What this means for you as an Air Force intel troop is this: more briefings, more intel, more opportunities to do you job and meet people. Bottom line: my money would be on Air Force intel if you're looking for quality of intel experience. Plus I've got a few friends in the Navy and Marines and the word is ship duty kind of, uh, sucks (for lack of a better word). I
