As a leader, do you cross-reference other branches manuals?

I have found great interest in reading the Army Leadership & Marine Leadership manuals, as well as field tactic manuals. Part of this comes from the AFSC I was in & always thought it would be a good idea to integrate the skills that the other branches that have been doing field stuff for much longer use.

It helps to know the regulations of other branches, especially if you work in a ''joint'' environment. For example, I didn't know that the Navy had more relaxed standards when it came to mustache length and shaping. Sailors can have a much more realistic looking mustache than the ''Hitler'' style mustaches that we're only able to grow in the Army.

I wouldn’t say that I cross-reference the manuals but I do see the conduct of other branches and the one I’m in and compare the actions of individuals of similar grade between the branches.

yes and being in my second joint assignment it still proves beneficial. but even prior to these assignments i used to reference them, along with talking to my friends/colleagues from the other services. it will add more tools to your "batman utility belt" but remember to keep an open mind. things may seem stupid, but they're just different. take what you can apply and let the rest go.
