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.
That's interesting that they differentiate the two. I know that wasn't always the case in the US.
That is correct. In fact the largest Army currently is in China. they have over 1.6 million active troops.
