Which military branch is better for the medical field?

IMO (and I'm biased since I'm Army), the only reason Air Force is considered more "girl friendly" is because (a) they have more females, (b) they have the closest to a civilian lifestyle from what I've been told and some girls apparently are afraid of the idea of a more military way of living, and (c) they have newer apartments and some girls can't handle living someplace that may not be as "up-to-date" though honestly I haven't seen anything wrong with the Army apartments (plus if you came in as an officer, you'd have nicer ones anyway). Not to mention some females aren't into deploying and Air Force has shorter deployments. Personally I want to be deployed and I want to live the military lifestyle so I'm happy with the Army. I haven't experienced any discrimination or aults here and I've made tons of great friends, male and female. I'm training in AIT right now to be a medic and I think the training has been fantastic. We just finished the EMT side and will be moving on to the Whiskey side (the more physical, military style training). We have both military and civilian instructors. The civilians are all either EMTs, paramedics, or retired military (my team's instructor is retired Air Force).
