(USMC, but any branch/country really)

I just bought a Ka-Bar knife off Amazon. It's a very fine knife and easily is the best I own.

The scabbard however has a prominent EGA on it along with "USMC". I covered it up with duct tape and will probably look to sandpaper off that stuff as I don't feel right about it otherwise.

The question is: Do you guys even give a poo poo if you see some goon traipsing around with stuff that has your logos on it?

I was gifted a K-Bar by my uncle when I got out of Boot. It was used three times to open MREs and once to get a headphones out of their retarded packaging. Then it got stolen by an Air Force dude in the barracks at Edwards which prompted me to steal a bunch of dudes' brand new Air Force cammie bottoms from their balconies and turn them in to swim shorts.

So unless you're using my stolen knife, I sure as gently caress won't care.

Yes it does and I believe also allows you to join Navy Federal Credit Union which is pretty decent is well; I use both for different things.

The only thing that Navy Federal has over USAA in my experience is physical locations if you need to deposit cash or checks. And even with checks the smart phone app USAA has is pretty decent.

As for home loans and insurance, I've yet to have a single thing Navy Federal's quote has been nearly as good as USAA's or Geico's

You can also deposit checks at UPS stores with USAA, if you need a physical location/the phone check deposit doesn't work. USAA also has a great online interface, and Navy Fed's is clunky at best.

Then thats another point for USAA, because I hated physically going to Navy Federal due to the near PX-in-volume herds of dependopotami

So long story short, Navy Federal is just USAA for mil-poors

How do the branches of the military coordinate? Like paratroopers, for example. Is the aircraft and pilot provided through the Air Force or is it all in-house?

For the most part the planes are Air Force with very few exceptions, paratroops are (mostly) Army, so the Air Force gives them the planes, pilots, ground crews and fuel. The Navy provides the boats and crew for marines to ride in for amphibious operations. Sometimes Air Force tankers refuel Navy planes. Sometimes Marine aircraft provide Close Air Support for Army tanks. Really it's all about who is in the best place at the right time to provide the needed service

some C-12s for ISR and a small number of gulfstreams for intercontinental VIP transport. any more than that and the air force literally shits a brick.

Natty Guard has C-23 Sherpas, but it's only like 80-100

nm, they just retired them in January

Also pretty much all the King Airs the Army uses for ISR are contractor maintained and operated.

Although they're supposed to get part of the MC-12 fleet when the USAF divests them next year, so maybe those will be green-suit operated.

The Guard were supposed to get C-27s to replace their Sherpas but lol at how that turned out.

The RC-12s at Huachuca are Army, not contractor, but I don't know about elsewhere

I know a few Army pilots on Huachuca who fly RC-12s. But they're all maintained by contractors

Yeah, a lot of officers who get out before O-4 seem to be medical. My brother got out as an O-2 because he literally broke his knee at FAC school and it needed 3-4 years to heal enough where he could run on it. His wife got out after only a year and a half as an Army Veterinarian when she had her hip broken by a parade horse. Another person I know got out as an O-2 because she got knocked up by her husband 3 times in 3 years and the Army just gave up on her ever actually deploying and offered her an honorable to just leave.
