Re: For Veterans and Military personnel only.
Agreed on all points except about the State Dept. There are only about 50,000 State Dept. employees compared to about 1.4 million active duty personnel and 1.1 million reserves.
Internet forum polls are not scientific and should be judged for entertainment value only.
The vast majority of my career has been in a joint environment. I am Army but I have worked alongside Navy, Air Force, Marines, and even Coast Guard. We have fun making jokes at each other’s expense but we still respect each other. In the end we all chose a career of service. It probably helps that we work in an environment where we are vastly outnumbered by State Department civilians. When that is the case the differences between the services don’t stand out quite so much.
ETA: As to the thread topic, yes there are military members here but tht doesn't mean the results aren't skewed.
