How do you explain the different Military Branches to a civilian?

The Army, Navy, and Marines are all brothers in a family.
  • Army is the oldest... Mom and Dad made all their parenting mistakes with him.
  • The Navy is the middle son. They are explorers who left home and no one cared.
  • The Marines are the youngest. Mom and Dad let them do whatever they wanted and they still have an inferiority complex due to their size.
Well, Mom and Dad got a divorce once all the boys were grown. Mom eventually got remarried - to a rich guy - and quickly gave birth to a fourth son, the Air Force. Now she loves him the most... showers him with the best toys and buys him whatever he wants. When they go on vacation they fly first class, stay in 5-star hotels, and enjoy the finest meals. The Air Force is spoiled rotten and his three older brothers have a bitter resentment toward him for this.

Finally there is the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is the rich step dad’s son form his first marriage. None of the other brothers think or act like he is part of the family.

That is the best way to explain the various service branches and their internal dynamics to civilians.

Dear AFBoyMom,
I have one more verse you can add that would include the Space Force...
I recommend:

"Lastly, since the dad was out of the picture for a while, he realized he had competition, so he decided to do some research, dove into it passionately, got married to the idea, and an idea that was out of this world was born - the Space Force. The other brothers look to this new idea skeptically, wonder how it's going to turn out, and are eying it closely.”

Well, let's see...

ARMY - Ain't Real Marines Yet
Navy - Never Again Volunteer Yourself
USMC - Uncle Sams Misguided Children
Air Force - The place you WANTED to be but maybe didn't qualify for?

Oh, wait, this isn't the JOKE thread?!

My bad.
