If being a Marine is so awesome, why is it that there are so many Marines that join the Army and Air Force?

Good question I served my 1st enlistment in thr Marine Corps and I will forever cherish my time. However the Army offered way more advancement opportunities.

If the Army had more pride as an “organization” .. not unit pride, the Army would be ok. Also, take away the patches and badges, and Tab. That’s all Soldiers care about is how they look in uniform, but don’t know doctrine, not all but some. If you look “High Speed” you know more in the Army.... GTFOH..smh. Take the chest candy away nobody would attend the schools.

The Marine Corps is Small and only Three active Duty Divisions as you move up in rank it gets crowded The Army is a Large Organization it gives opportunity to those who want to continue to serve.

TROLLING for flamers

Because being a Marine only sounds cool.

Cause sometime you you get stuck in a job you don't like. Army offers basically same life style but more opportunity. Not that we still love the corp but when they have no funding it sucks.

Drug testing.

No. Just, No. They are bringing the Devil Dog into the Air Force.

The question sounds like the start of a joke! " So a Marine walls into an Army Recruiting office..."

Its post USMC. Once a Marine always a Marine.
