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
