Talk about funny, I live right next to Camp Pendleton and coach youth football locally. A lot of my players are Marine kids and nothing gives me greater pleasure than wearing my Army hat to practice. It seems to irritate them to no end.Is/was your wife Army?[/quote]
My wife was Army (82nd for most of the time) and got out a year ago. We met at DLI and I am in the Army Reserve still.
I bet it irritates them. Any time I have had to go to Pendleton in uniform I am stared at nonstop, and not in a flattering way.

ParticipantDavid: I was 505th PIR, before going into Rangers (2nd Bat). 82d is a good outfit, unlike those posers in the 101st. DLI, huh? I did language training at Garmisch back in the 1980s (Russian). I’m presuming DLI Monterey?
Yeah, jarheads hate the Army. It’s all that propaganda they’re fed. Plus, they lack the intestinal fortitude to jump out of aircraft. That must embarrass them. I better stop now, or I’ll break out my store of USMC jokes.

ParticipantFive-jump chump here!
Through some coincidence or another my jump school class was about 10% Marines … all the ones I met were pretty cool.
I’ve been reprimanded at least once due to my excessive fondness for Marine jokes. That said, I’ve always gotten along well with the USMC, though I remember a joint exercise that had to be halted temporarily because of a near-fight between our guys and a bunch of Royal Marines … guess they still haven’t forgiven us for the Revolution, much as I’m not likely to forgive their country for Hugh Grant =)
