I thought about joining the US army once. 
It builds great character I joined when I was young. We were a ground force who fought primarily on land.
how long was your training?
My initial army training lasted 6 weeks. In the broadest sense we were a land based military branch. We served out nation.
What else do you remember from the army?
In the Army we took a lot of pride in serving our country. Other countries call the army the Land Army and the airforce the Air Army to differentiate the two.
