I can speak from my experience. First off, the Marines are part of the Navy and some Marines do have to travel on ships to get where they have to go. So, in most cases you will have to be on a ship at some point. I was in the Navy for 7 years and worked in the Operations Department. We were out at sea 8 months out of the year but I saw some amazing places and met great people and there are women on the ship. I worked with radar and navigation. I really think that no matter what branch you decide to enlist in you will be respected and VA and GI Bill benefits do rule when you get out. I got state grants that paid for college and pocketed the GI Bill. Now I am working on a graduate degree that is being paid for by the state just for being a veteran. Good luck to you.
