I began in the Army (Reserves) on the split-option program in 1993 while still in high school and went active duty after I graduated high school in 1994. I got injured in AIT was separated in 1995.
After I could show that I'd recovered, I joined the Navy in 1996, ending up on Submarines, and got out in 2002.
Fast forward to now and I'm actually looking to get back into the Army Reserve by the end of next year.
Where did you start, what was your experience like, and where have you ended up?

I'm told the differences between the components can be astounding and can make you feel like you might have transferred to a different branch.
My brother once told me that the ranks and uniforms are the same, but that's where the similarities end...

I was a Navy Corpsman, HM3 (FMF) promoted to a 2LT in the Army for school in a Marine Corps formation in 1999. "That was the GD'est thing I've ever seen" was what I heard from the old man after the ceremony.
