Many of us have heard the phrase "A band of brothers" - sisters included as well, and I was curious if there was any truth behind the phrase. For me some of my closest and most trusted friends are people I served with. Is my experience just a fluke or it there an unspoken bond that goes along with serving?

Because no one other than military personnel has been put in a situation, other than police and firefighters, to depend on your buddy to watch your back. Because of this our bond, no matter the branch of service, remains strong. It doesn't matter if your currently serving or retired or a veteran, that bond is forever.

Very true, my retired police buddies and I are still the best of friends, and back each other up.

The "police brotherhood" is spot on, have a number of friends in law enforcement, about half are also Veterans

There is a bond, but it is for only a few guys and gals that i served with. Over 9 years i've met thousands of people, but only a few i keep in touch with. Usually i bled with them, either in basic (lol i know) or during my 4 deployments. We are brothers that need each other to vent or talk about crap we went through. No one else understands, even other service men and women.
