They don't have their own Department, they are under the Department of the Navy. Which means that they run into money problems. Promotions are A LOT slower than in the other services which can create other money problems. You may not be guaranteed a good trade or job, which is really bad considering that if you become an infantry soldier, you WILL have all sorts of knee and back problems. In essence, in 4 years your body is going to have all the wear and tear of a 40 year old.

LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!!
