Coast Guard, Air Force or Navy?

[Pilgrims Pride]

My daughter is considering the military. She's very intelligent and could get a commission easily.
Since she was a kid she always said she wants to be a Marine like daddy is. She says it would be awesome to have her boot camp pictures next to mine.
I do the best I can to discourage her of that. I was an 18 year old infantry Marine at one time and I sure as hell don't want her meeting the guy I use to be!
That said, any thoughts on Coast Guard? Navy? Air Force?

Try and be a little more supportive of your children's dreams.

There's dirtbag men in every service and in every industry.

nothing like choosing your kids career path. so much for life lessons.

tell her to get a college degree (associates, I think is sufficient) and go to marines officer candidate school.

outside of that, it comes down to how you want to sleep and what you want to eat. bed or ground? cafeteria or MRE.
