I have this weird fascination of being the "jack of all trades" as a civilian i did things from cosmetology, to truck driving and allot in between. I recently just swore into into DEP (army) and already making plans to see if I can cross train into other MOS fields and eventually after my contract to other branches (USMC? Navy? Air Force)
Anyone here serve in 2 or more branches? Any tips?

It is possible to serve in more than one branch. With a name like Cinnamon food service would be your best option.

It was. I have been told that now you can't. I served in the Army (Vietnam vet) as a combat engineer, artillery man, automatic weapons, Medic, & Clinical Specialist & am airborne qualified. Active Army, CA. Army Guard, Utah Army Guard, Naval Reserve (Corpsman) and Airforce Reserve (Crash & Rescue Firefighter). What a ride !

Respectfully, PFC Hack, I served in both the Army and Air Force. The Army for the Rank advancement potential and the Air Force for the Technical Skill as well as the University of the Air Force credit transfer, or Degree. You progress slowly in the Air Force compared to other services but you can't match the Food, Shelter, the flight time with any other service... the Navy tell you different... They have good food but the quarters.. I will stick to the Air Force for that. Just like the Army, I held 3 AFSC at the same time and in the Army 3 MOS/s at the same time. Makes you valuable to the team concept because you can fill in with competence.
