Transportation you will get out and see some things. It's one of the most dangerous jobs. Medic you can be at a CASH. If you are going to dothe MP thing go air force. Shorter deployments there and you can be a crew chief which is exciting too. You can have your bike in AIT but depending on what you decide for an MOS. YOU MAY NOT HAVE alot of time to ride it and you have to be close to home because they won't ship anything for you until you complete ait and get a duty station.

^^^this...Transportation,MP,or medic. all female roles that will see action overseas. Transportation is kinda boring, on my second deployment we did super convoy logistical patrols...IE guarding white trucks (foreign nationals) that delivered supplies(food,fuel,water). we got hit least once a week and found IEDs every week. Almost every other day found some IED's and about once a week we got hit. It's hard not to get hit when your convoy involves 90 semi's and 11 gun trucks... super long nights and a nightmare of problems.
I agree AF has shorter deployments and their basic training is prob more relaxed. I went to Army basic 11 years ago and it wasn't easy, but as long as you do what your told and do pt just about anyone can do it.
