Im curious about your branch pride i know from time to time you guys will have a friendly/joking arguement about how your branch is better. i wanna hear some interesting situations where its come up. why some ppl get bent out of shape about it is kind of immature to me.

Most of those guys are mad because they cant score high enough to join the air force. I love when branches make fun of each other, its funny as hell. Just as long as people dont take it serious.

I had seen a pretty sizeable number of Army units come and go while I was there. -the length of your deployment has everything to do with your job, location, and OpTempo.... not what branch you are in.

Once I was in my Marine Corps greens walking downtown about twenty feet behind an Air Force major. A young airman walked right by the major without saluting but saluted me..........nuff said.

What won Desert Storm... Air Power.. Who most of the time goes in first the AF to drop the bombs.. plus we are smarter we send are officers off to war while the enlisted stay far behind..But every branch in my eyes has there good points and bad.. I just think The Air force can conflict more damage on a country then any other branch.. You dont see any other branch Dropping nukes like we did in Japan... But we are all one team ready to go kick some terrorist butt no if ands or buts about it. And if you dont believe your branch is the best you shouldnt be there you gota have that mentality you cant second guess your brach when the crap hits the fan
