Royal Air Force, when we still had something to fly, just.
I was in tactical communications and had the best years of my life travelling and living in both tents and hotels. When they moved me to a desk job it was time to leave! I miss it like hell, being a civvy is nowhere near as fun or exciting.
My advice to anyone joining any of the forces is to take every opportunity that comes your way, if there is a skiing exped - do it, if there is a freefall course - do it, play a sport you've never tried before, if there is a volunteer needed for some shtt detachment - do it because it will never be as bad or boring as you think. I look back on what I did and what I could (should) have done and regret not doing so.
I've worked closely with the British Army and the Royal Navy and it was always a good experience - being RAF I got away with sooooo much more than their own people could ever do. I've also worked multinational and still the Air Force of all nations seems to be that little bit more 'individual' than the others.
