Country: | Sorry NS, im not much of a Navy person. My relatives who were in the armed forces were always in the Army. National Guard, Regular, Army Air Corps, (Great Uncle in WWII) I dont think we have had anyone else to serve in a different branch of the military.

I did have two cousins in the Navy though. | |

Country: | Well lets see my German Grandfather was in the Wehrmacht in WW2 but I do not know anything else about any of my other German relatives before him being in the army. I know my German Uncles served there normal time in the German Army for 18 months after they got out of school.
On the American side of my family, my father was in the Army for 22 years (not sure on that it could have been 24, I will have to ask him) and the Navy for 2 years. My American Grandfather was in the US Army and his father was in the US Army. Several of my Uncles were in the Marines but most of them were in the Army.

Country: | My only point was that one particular branch of service didn't become the necessity in my family. My great grandfather on the other side was actually a Mountie. He was in the old Northwest Mounted Police, before they became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He worked up in the Yukon, with a dog team and everything. | |

Country: | He did not switch after 22 years. After 4 years in the army he switched the Navy for 2 years and then went back into the Army.

Country: | I dont know. I will have to ask him. I think it is because after his stint in the Navy he decided to go to Flight School and the Navy would not let him fly but the Army would.
