Hi Alex,
Nobody can tell you, for sure, which of the five branches of the military are the best for you.
However, luckily for you, I wrote an article, which objectively compares each of the services, and the benefits they offer, and this may help you to decide which services is the best for your particular needs and personality.
The article is "What the Recruiter Never Told You" at: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/joiningup/a/recruiter.htm
For more information about the United States Military, feel free to visit my military information website at: http://usmilitary.about.com
Hope this helps!
