My son spent 4 years in the Army and then joined the Navy for 6 years. He said he was going to join the Marines next but reupped in the Navy. I guess being with the Seabees(ms?) was the best of both, huh?:')
I was in the Seabees, served with a guy who had been Army, 101st in Vietnam. He sure got some looks with jump wings, 4 rows of ribbons topped by a Bronze Star, E-3 stripes and 2 good conduct stripes on his crackerjacks.
