I followed my father and brother (and best friend) into the Marine Corps ('93-'97) and then wanted to improve the Army a bit so I transferred to the Army in 1997.<br><br>- Marine Corps (1993-1997)<div>- Army (1997-Present)</div>

I served on active duty in the Navy from 1981 to 1987, Navy Reserve from 1989 to 1994, and on active duty in the Army from 1994 to 2008. I learned some great lessons during my service and the lessons I took from the submarine force served me well throughout the remainder of my career. There were things I loved and things I hated about both services so I can't say I preferred one over the other. I am proud of the fact that I didn't have an ordinary career!

9 years U.S. Navy Seabees (BU1) then 2 year Army Military Police (Sgt). Was offered E7 If I would have stayed in the Constitution field. But I was more interested in changing things up and going into a new field so I lost a pay grade which was fine with me.

My Dad only served in the Army for 21yrs but I served 9.5 yrs in the Army from 7/66 to 5/75, I did a yr and a half in the Army Reserve from 6/75 to 10/76 and then I served in the Navy from 10/76 to 1/88 when I retired. My oldest son went the other way and did 6 yrs in the Navy and was out until after 9/11 and he joined the National Guard and served 2 tours in Iraq and 1 tour in Afghanistan. He's out completely now. He was almost 40 when he went in the NG

Started out in the active duty Army, later went to the Air Guard and then Air Force Reserve. I would argue 3 branches as the Guard feels like it’s a whole separate branch compared to the active or Reserve side.

-Army (1987-1990)
-Army Reserves (1993-1997)
-Coast Guard (1997-Present)

It took me a while to stop trying to make the CG more like the Army. I learned to appreciate and enjoy the differences.
