The "Air Force treats their people better" is very true. Though like Adam said, it's harder to get in. I've lived in AF housing and Navy housing while I was active duty and the AF housing was much much better. But that's nothing while I was at FT Sam Houston attending a tri-service school (Orthopedics), the Navy put us up in a dorm like barracks, the Army guys were in open bay style barracks, and the AF put their guys up in 5 star hotels on the Riverwalk. They also paid them separation per diem for everyday they were in school, paid for rental cars, and paid them extra $ for food. Now being the smart AF people that they were, they all pitched in for 1 rental car, ate breakfast and dinner at the hotels for free, and brought sandwich meat and drinks for their lunches. They definitely banked a ton of money.
Needless to say every branch has it's pros and cons. If I had to do it all over again I would have went in the AF just for the sake of better training (I went Hospital Corpsman in the Navy). The higher living and MWR standards would have just been a bonus. Talk to the different recruiters and see what they have to offer you. Right now I believe the Army is offering a huge sign up bonus, but more than likely they'll want you to take some crap job that no one else wants. Good luck.
