For those working civilian jobs with people from other branches, what good natured interservice rivalry shenanigans occur in the workplace?

In my office we have a Marine Corp vet whose husband--whom she met when on AD--is today a SNCO in the Marine Reserve. We get along great, but occasionally poke fun at one another based on our respective branches of service. Again, it’s all in fun; no butt-hurt allowed.
So with that in mind, because of the “Marines eating crayons” running gag, for the upcoming Marine Corp birthday, I have two small boxes of crayons I plan on wrapping in a bow and will present to her compliments of the U.S. Army!
So what interservice rivalry jokes and gags do you do around the office?

The question did say 'interservice rivalry'? Wait, the Air Force is still claiming to be part of the armed services? Juck them if they can't take a Foke.

MSG Brad Sand - very true. Would that put them in the same category as the coasties?

When I was in college and hung out in the veterans' lounge (yeah that's a thing at my University) we usually poked fun not so much at the branches we were in, but the jobs we picked and our experiences with them. Infantry vs POG, medic vs public affairs, that sort of thing. We CE together really quickly though when it came to military training sessions and courses that could count toward our respective degree requirements. We were always really good about sharing that kind of intel.

LOL, funny, I knew what you were trying to write even before the correction. The community college I went to in the early 90s had a veterans only lounge, but as I wasn't yet a veteran, I have no idea what shenanigans went on in there.
