Good luck young troop. I assume that you are going to Ft. Gordon for signal school. Where are you going to boot camp?

congrats! The Army is the mother of Services.
The Army birthed the Navy during the Revolution. The Navy had to create a Revolutionary War history, so commandeered the deeds of Privateer/legal pirate J.P. Jones.
The Marine corps (shores of Tripoli and all that) was part of the Army until 11 July 1834. The young lieutenant who took Tripoli was a US Army officer.
Chuck Yeager was a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps before he was a test pilot for the Air Force. The Air Force traces its history back to the Army Signal Corps. Army aviation traces its history back to the reconnassance balloons of Thaddeus Lowe and the Civil War. The Air Force deploys to fight from foreign bases, but the first Army Aviation deployment was to Cuba in 1898.
Good luck, and look beyond the propaganda. I will buy you dinner if I ever meet you in uniform.
