Here is a new trend that people in the military better get used to:

For all you navy guys out there, this is a picture of US Navy sailors under going Army basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The military is now having people in the military who are not being utilized for anything related to the War on Terror, to begin filling augmentee roles with the US Army. Makes sense to me because there are plenty of areas out there in not only the Navy but the Air Force and even inside of the Army that are not pulling the same amount of weight that the Marines and the majority of the Army have been pulling in the combat rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan.

If this augmentee system can prevent guys in the Army who have already deployed multiple times avoid another deployment than I think it is a worthwhile system. There is an old saying that every Marine and Soldier is a rifleman first, well now that may have to change to every sailor and airmen are rifllemen first as well.
