My brother has 18 years in the Army,  my younger brother has 8 years in the Navy....   comaprisons
Bill ( older)  spent alot of time in germany, korea, and various other places while on active duty ( desert storm ect).  
Jason ( younger) spent alot of time on a boat.
Bill says that the problem with the army is,  the lack of jobs, and general lack of a civilian job with regard to your trained job.
Jason however was a nuclear mechanic and walked out of the navy into an 89K a year job.
If it were me,  i would look HARD at the jobs that each of the services offer,  and please dont forget about the air force,   you'de be amazed how much they get overlooked.  ( if you want to be a marine you gotta have a nut loose - but i do love them grunts)   No matter what service you are interested in,  i would really think alot of it depends on what you want to be trained in for a non-wartime job,  and obviously what your interests are for wartime activities as well.
Talk to a recruiter, and they will be able to help.
