Now that's just a bunch of horse crap.
I've worked with people from EVERY branch of service (to include the Coast Guard) and we all got along great. We ribbed each other time and time again til it hurt and kept on going. But it was all making fun. When the shi+ hits the fan, we're all there to watch each others backs. At least that's how its always been with me. And I joke my former Navy buddies time and time again and they throw it back at me and we all have a good time.
We talk the most crap because we usually end up doing MORE with LESS....smallest budget, most 'bang for the buck'. President's Own. Even Clinton, and now Obama. Its the 'office' we respect, not particularily the person (for my own 2 cents on that).
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that's spent 2 years in any branch other than the Marines that knows as much about their 'military history'. Rich with traditions hundreds of years old (just had another birthday 8 days ago
).
All in all....you join whom you think is going to benefit you and you them. Personally, I wish I had stayed my ass in.....at this point in time, I'd have less than 2 years til I could retire....
