That is true! Other armed forces are not so unsafe such as the Airforce even! I have a friend who was a marine and he said that if you want the technical school and behind the desk kind of work go into the Air Force. They hardly ever go to war unless you are a pilot I think. Give it a try! There is more than just the Army!

Let us know what she decides if you like!
