ARMY STRONG!!!

I did the same thing first with AF (not scholarship tho). Forms are similar but recommend letters are slightly more complicated for AF.
AF first said I was a little over the age they would take me, so i went to Army. Army guys were so happy about my request, rushed me through all processes. At this point, I am about to be accepted officially to Army. However, AF is my first choice. So then i checked AF again, they said they would take my application as well.
Army obviously wasn't too happy I requested PE result for AF application, saying AF doesn't have AEGD program as easier to get in as Army. They also said AF isn't as easy to give you promotion as in Army. AEGD residency is really the main reason i'm joining military, plus the good retirement program. I wonder Army had the right comments about AF?
My AF recruiter just sent out my application recently. I hope I would get answer very soon, otherwise I guess I would be pulled out into Army very quickly lol. (They are pretty pushy sometimes.)
