OK, I'm a Brit, I've worked alongside various other forces and I'd say that the way to go, in terms of comfort and prospects would be the air force. Especially if you can get pilot - multi engine, not fast jet.
Just days after Sept. 11 Thumrait in Oman was transformed into a huge (by our standards...!) deployed base with airconned tents all round, reasonable food, but the downside was a strict two-can rule in the bar! At least there was a bar.
A (Brit) sub came in to Salalah port (very hot) a week or so later and the guys last saw their surrounding environment around Baffin Bay (very cold). Not the best life - see the world, sure, but only in snippets here and there...! I can't imagine the USN being much more keen on sunbathing on the surface either.
Army! Always too much bull. Why walk when you can sail, why sail when you can fly
