Yep.

The Coast Guard is considered part of the military, but Im not sure that it is elligible for draftees. Dont think that it is safe, either. It is horrifically under-manned, and ATM its primary job is chasing down drug runners. Not to mention that those guys go out in the most heinous weather I have ever seen. Take it from a sailor, those guys sail in stuff that would make me tuck tail and run.

Beyond that, any of them can be hazardous. The Air Force would probably be a good choice--unless you are a pilot, there is probably a good chance of your working behind your lines. Doesnt make it safe though.

I suppose I should let someone with actual experience give advice though
