I know we all have things we admire about 'other military branches' What comes to mind for yourself?

Always envied the barracks rooms and chow of the air force - less the submarine shoreside chow halls. I remember checking into the barracks room in Misawa AB Japan - only a Seaman Duece - had an AF Tsgt checking me in, going thru all the usual - and then he apologized. It seems my room did not meet AF standards and I would be getting part of the BAH back and I would be on a waiting list for immediate upgrade. He even handed me a sheet on AF Command letterhead with a written apology from the base commander. WOOT! Hey, I was happy...my room was bigger than what the Chief's (Navy E-7's for you non-Navy types) were getting in my previous commands. I was in heavan - no more 10 man bunk rooms for ME!

Their history and stories passed down to others to hear about and possibly relate to in some way or fashion.

I'm most jealous of the Navy: Choices of duty assignments

Marines - Uniform...no hiding your overweight...plus they don't over think and "re-do" them every time we get a change in leadership
