Actually, contracted and Army operated ships (via MSC) make the Army's navy bigger than the Navy's navy ;)

I thought I heard a factoid somewhere that the Army operates more "boats" as opposed to "ships" than the Navy. Maybe it was in reference to the Coast Guard.

I always thought the slogan meant it was about unity, teamwork, etc. An Army of One- not one individual, but one team.

Duuhhhh...that's why I'm a civilian:)

No matter what it meant- it's stupid. One hopes they get rid of co-ed boot camp next. My son is infantry and thanks God every day there are no women in combat- his boot camp was strictly men. The difference between regular and infantry boot camp is incredible.
