Which military department do you feel would be better for a marriage or a family? Marines, Navy or Air Force?

Question:
I want to head to the Marines originally, but I started reading up more on the Navy & felt that it was more for me (Plus my dad is a retired Seal, so it's been a dream of mines for awhile). ... I'm not afraid to go to war, but I do have a 3 month old daughter & my fiancee which I plan on marrying later this year. I also hear that the Air Force is a real family oriented department of the military (As far as hardly ever being deployed is concerned). (Sigh) I just want to hear your opinions on this matter ESPECIALLY from those who are already in the service. Thanks.
Answer:
I am a Navy wife but I will take the AIr Force any day. First off, most of military exchanges are very expensive but go in an Air Force exchange and the prices are much reasonable. Day Cares on bases are wonderful while the staff and children are catered too Even the Gym has areas that mothers and children can work out together. I am sure that housing is much more available and ready for occupancy The Air Force has a different system as to regards to deployments.
