The short answer is there is no good way to die, whether it is face
down in the mud, in a flaming plane crash or bobbing in the water,
eaten by sharks.
Safest is probably a ground crew member in the USAF bit that is also
the most boring and the slowest increase in rank. I knew E-5s at
Andrews who were on their third hitch. (with the promise the E-6 was
coming right away as soon as they sign)

I also knew a guy who got his E-7 in the CG for signing up for his
second four.

I never knew one person who joined a specific branch of the military 'cause it afforded a 'better
way to die'. Of the three, I'd take a round to the head and be face down in the mud over the other
two.

As I said, there is no good way to die.

At that point you are looking at the opportunities for advancement.
living conditions and the general culture.

Well, *that* explains JohnnyMop and FlaJim. They joined up and
got...culture. The kind that grows in a Petri dish.
