Congratulations, kid (and Mom)!!!! Now, as a Navy vet I would have suggested you join the military - either the Navy or their wholly-owned subsidiary, the Marines. But scouting is nice too ...

I think the training is pretty equal throuhout the services these days ... but re the facilities, dave is right. There's a reason for that, though. Army/Navy/USMC goes to build a base, they build [whatever they need for the military functions of the base], run out of money, and go back to Congress for barracks, clubs, blahblahblah.

The Air Force goes to build a base, they build barracks, clubs, blahblahblah, and go back to Congress for runways, aircraft, etc.

That's exactly the way I've heard it too, PD. And Air Force barracks are more like apartments than the mini dorm room look the Army has, and Air Force dining facilities serve actual food, as opposed to whatever that gunk is in the Army mess hall.
