No apologies as I've "been put on hold" for deployment US Army Reserve til I clear up a piece of loose bodies in my knee. (i.e too old for re-enlistment into the Marine Corps)

If you served in both, you notice a significant differance between the two.

You people are too serious, this is a light-hearted interservice ribbing, chill out, relax and take a chill pill.

I was always careful not to participate in any "interservice ribbing" and to show respect to all service members. I know it happens a lot, but I know that each service member is vital to our security, therefore I always appreciated them all. In fact, I did one tour in SHAPE, Belgium and served with service members from all NATO countries. It opened my eyes in appreciation of other countries service members too.

I think the regular ARMY and the MARINES are a lot different, but the ARMY does have special units that are very close to the MARINES, but I am very biased I love all our military ,but my beloved MARINES will always be special to me, I married and retired with one.
