just like product loyalty there is a sort of branch loyalty. Even for those who have nevered served. When I joined I actually went to 2 different recruiters (Army and AF). The AF got me in faster. I served 7 yrs in the AF. When they started to reduce my career field I switched to the Army. There are some cultural differences, but more the most part as different as individuals want to believe each service is they are very similar. I kid marines but they usually bring it upon themselves. I don't take offense when the AF slams the Army. I just tell them I have a point of view from both services and I know which is better and why.

But what I've been told by a couple of Soldiers how use to be marines was that they had to have a 1 yr break in service to join any other service after the marines. They seem to think it was to give time to resocialize after leaving the marines.

BLUF: military personnel are very loyal to their unit their service and the country. We will always "put down" other services while highlighting our own. It's like when brothers argue, just don't get in the middle or you will face off against us all.

That's coming from someone who doesn't know what's going on or what military leaders are trying to do about it. Why these stats have gone up in all services. You see me and isamu going back and forth all the time about army and AF. Our feelings don't get hurt it's part of military life just like rivals of sports teams. In the end we are all brothers in the service and will work to raise up those who need it follow those who lead and remove those who can't adjust to the military lifestyle.

you are 100% correct. I know plenty of guys who have swapped branches... marines to AF, AF to army, army to Marines... but no one every goes to the navy from another branch... lol. All in all, they will all talk **** about their previous branch, and all other branches of service. but when I was deployed they weren't Marines, or soldiers, they were fellow military personal...


I would gladly sit in a fox hole with you man, not just because you have those shiny oak leaves either...
