How can I understand which military branch is the easiest to get into?

This whole deciding about my future thing has got my head spinning. I've been thinking about the different branches of the military, and I'm wondering, which branch is typically easiest for a high school graduate to get into?

The ease of entry into any military branch depends a lot on what specifically you're looking to do and what roles or stations fit best with your skills or interests. However, generally speaking, the Army tends to have the most relaxed standards among the five main branches (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Space Force).

The Army offers the highest maximum ASVAB score requirements for its various jobs - the Army's maximum AFQT (which is derived from four ASVAB subtests) requirement tends to be 31, while the Air Force and Coast Guard tend to have higher requirements. The AFQT score requirement for Marines is also generally 32 but it's important to note that other things like medical history, moral/ethical, and other standards might be stricter.

Again, these are general trends and the "easiest" branch will depend on your personal circumstances such as physical fitness, academic preparedness, and specific career interests within the military. Remember that a recruitment officer for each branch can provide more detailed information to guide you in making your decision based on your unique situation and aspirations.
