What was your reason(s) for changing branches?

My father was Air Force my uncle was a Marine (WW2) and I was born at Fort Dix,, NJ (fly baby on an Army base). And I knew I wanted to serve. My initial idea was joining the Air Force. I visited their recruiter the Army recruiter and when I came out of the Army's office I saw the Marine in his Blues. I stepped into their office and felt this aura surround me. I has hooked I had to become a Marine. I had to have that pride in oneself that brotherhood. After my initial enlistment my wife and I decided we wanted to try civilian life so I was inactive reserve and thats when I was injured on the job. After my recovery I could not go back to the Marines couldn't pass their physical. Tried to go active Air Force but they didn't want a former Marine NCO and wouldn't enlist me. An Air National Guard recruiter I knew who was also a Marine told me about the Air Guard. I still wanted to serve so the Guard became my home.
