“The Soviets are our adversary. Our enemy is the Navy,\u201d General Curtis LeMay, United States Air Force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Folks over at \u201cWe Are The Mighty\u201d have been posting hater\u2019s guides to the various military branches.\u00a0 Cut me and I bleed Navy Blue, and I could go off about Jar Heads, Zoomies, Mud Ducks, and Doggies, but I\u2019ll post the link of we of the Nautical Service Arm, the United States Navy, and what\u2019s good, bad and ugly about us. And with luck, some truth and humor as well.<\/p>\n

Ward Carroll penned this; he\u2019s a former F-14 RIO, author of several very cool books (check out his Punk series on Amazon), musician, and an editor at WATM.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s a teaser, click on the link for the entire article.<\/p>\n

The branches of the U.S. military are like a very large family. They deal with one another because they have to, not because they always get along.<\/p>\n

The differences don\u2019t stop at uniforms. Each branch has its own goals, mission, and its own internal culture. At the upper levels of the services, they compete for funds and favor from civilians in DoD. In the lower ranks, they compete for fun and favor from civilians in bars and strip clubs (especially in North Carolina). The branches are like siblings, competing for the intangible title of who\u2019s \u201cthe best\u201d from no one in particular.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You all are my brothers and sisters, one big family. And fear not- your service branch gets the same treatment, written by those who know it well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
