Anybody here in the service or was in it?

[GlobalRoyal]

Yeah, i'm asking this question so i don't have to go look through everybody's profile to see.

So here is a poll.

Put yes if you did.

 

[Ravinx]

yes

 

[GlobalRoyal]

Yeah, i'm currently in the AFJROTC (Air force Junior Reserve Training Corps).

Recipiants of the National Service Award is a good place to start.

Note this is also awarded to emergency service types. Fireman, Policeman, etc.

 

[GlobalRoyal]

Sorry, i don't really know many of the kinds of branches, i think the ones i put are the main ones.

yeah, but i see that they got it, i don't want to go through everyone to see why they were awarded it.

 

[Quaffer]

But there's only 792 (and counting). This young generation. Tsk, tsk. Idle layabouts. No ambition. No work ethic. No drive.

Why in my day...

Lol.

and to the people who post, can you also state your reasoning of what you did

 

[Meatwagon<3]

No NAVY? Now I'm sad.

 

[Ravinx]

Army, Marines, Airforce, You forgot the most important one the Navy. You also forgot to mention the Coast Guard. Those are the main branches of the US Military. Don't forget that people who are in eGO from other countries have recieved that award for serving in their country's military or civil service too.

 

[GlobalRoyal]

Ik, like i said, im not the greatest with the Army branches.

 

[Dr.Compton]

Its fine Scion, and Military Branches is how you should refer to the Armed Forces and the separate branches.

A decent way to remember it is Army and Air force go together, Navy and Marines go together

 

[ziant]

No

 

[Snipeye]

Probably should have put in a No button as well. Mind sharing why you're looking for this information in the first place?
