Have you ever dreamed of seeing the world? For many, joining the military seems like a ticket to adventure. But which branch will have you packing your bags and saying “bon voyage” the most? Let’s dive into the exciting world of military travel and discover which branch takes the crown.
The Frequent Flyers of the Armed Forces
While all branches offer opportunities to travel, some are inherently more globe-trotting than others.
The Navy: Masters of the Seven Seas
It’s no surprise that the Navy tops the list. Their domain is the ocean, and with a presence in every corner of the globe, deployments are a way of life. Imagine sailing into the bustling port of Singapore, exploring ancient ruins in Italy during a port call in Naples, or even witnessing the Northern Lights while on exercise in Norway.
“My time in the Navy was an incredible experience,” says retired Chief Petty Officer Sarah Jones, “I visited over 20 countries and experienced cultures I never thought I would.”

From maintaining stealth bombers at RAF Lakenheath in England to piloting cargo planes over the deserts of the Middle East, the Air Force offers a diverse range of travel experiences.
