Depends.

If you have the guts and desire to kill America's enemies, then any branch of the Military offers many post-enlistment opportunities.

Out of 8 kids (6 sons), of a full bird Army Colonel, I was the only one that wanted to go into the military. Not out of duress, out of desire.

My ego demanded that I be the best of the best, not give up my life as a ground grunt fighting for yards, we need them, but I thought I could better serve my country killing bad guys "en masse" from above.

My father told me that the best pilots were in the Navy. So I went for the Naval Academy out of high school with the hopes of being a Naval Aviator.

I got all the required recommendations but was turned down on account of failing the color blindness test.

I wanted to fly and kill bad guys. Think about what your passion is, then go for the best Military branch that fits.

Yes, you could die, but we're all going to die sometime.

So, what did you wind up doing after you failed the vision test? My brother had the same experience and wound up as a garbage collector. But believe it or not, he makes really good $$$$$.
