Navy! :P

Gunnay is right, it depends on personal preference.

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

I cant really compare them. I mean, I'm a member of both, and they are just sorta different to me. The characters, the writing styles, and the plotlines. I like them both.

Yeah. The only difference that makes the Army side better, if by only a little bit, is that they have more activity. That's the only real thing that can be compared in my oppinion.

I was in both divisions, but decided to drop the Navy and stick with the Army because I had more responsibility in the Corps, and plus I didn't know much about TIE fighter specs that well. I didn't have any flight sims, so it was hard for me to describe aerial battles.

Navy has bigger guns. MUCH bigger guns.

And no, I'm not compensating for anything, honest!

Im in Army and Ive got this tad bit of hatred against the RL navy so no offence to anyone in VEN. I would just feel like a hippocrit being in VEN if I cant like RL Navy.

There's the odd thing. I'm an Army cadet in RL, and can't stand the thought of spending all my time on ships.

Im an army grunt for now. You goin OCS?

I might but then again Ill have to see how it all works out in the not to distant future.

No, I'm ROTC. Hoping for active-duty infantry when I get my commision. What unit are you in?

Heh, you know, Liquid is RL Navy. Last I heard he was volunteering for sub service. Think Talon's a submariner, too. They are allowed to have women on board surface ships, but subs are guys-only.

Yes, it is the Enterprise, and it is actually getting retired after its next dry dock, or soon after that anyway.

The ship was commissioned in 1961 it was the first nuclear powered carrier. Its pretty old so yeah.

    Yeah, I know all about the star trek affiliation, for example:

    Me talking to my friends or someone that knew my brother, "Yeah he is on the USS Enterprise being deployed to the gulf."
    "The Gulf of Mexico?" person replies.
    "No, the Persian Gulf," I say shaking my head.
    "The Enterprise, huh?" they say.
    "Yeah," I nod.
    "Beam me up Scotty," They chuckle.
    I just smile politely, and I die a little inside...J/K.

I kinda know what ya mean, Zhar, 'cept for my family I'll be the first one in a combat unit since my great-granddad (machine-gunner in WWI). My other granddads where a Navy dockhand in WWII and an Air Force mechanics crew-chief during Korea. The military is actually how my dad came to be; his parents were both Navy (Grandma was a WAVE), and Granddad asked her out on a date after she gave him his paycheck. They wound up married.

Im going to start off by saying that I was going to join the 3rd Canadian Field Engineer Regiment based out of Quebec (reserves)had all the papers signed and everything and than 9/11 happened and my parents forbade me to go even though I told them as a reserve the only time I would be forced to go to war was if there was conscription and I would be screwed anyways, and now for a little blast from the past.

My grandfather was born in Croatia and around WW2 he joined the socialist army (there were only three choices socialism, communism, or death) he was captured by the germans while training underground, they forced him to work at an airport where he met my grandmother. During a British bombing run he escaped with his wife they hid out at a friend house had my uncle moved to Canada but due to circumstances my uncle was left behind for 2 years. They moved to Vancouver had my father, started up a depanneur (convenience store) closed it down when some kid blew off his arse with a firecracker to avoid being sued, moved to quebec and started an electronics store from an apartment. Eventually he moved up bought his own store became succesfull and died 2 years ago from a stroke.

as to why I told you all this I dont know

Plus I like the sound of a TIE screeching through the air
