O3Marine,
I am a former Marine, the fact on the ground is that due to BRAC USA, USMC, USAF and a few guys from the USCG are attending the same classes the USN has an office down the passage way oops hall. All 5 services are in the same building going through the exact same training, instructors are from all the services execpt the Coast Guard we only send students.
Common MOS schools are already combined such as Army 92 Lima you will find AF, Marines, and Army personnel going through the same exact training.
The instructors feel that this is an atttempt to get the troops ready for unification. I don't like it any more than anyone else but it is happening. Unification of the armed services will start in logistics and support functions that have not yet been contracted for some reason.
Let me say as a former Marine myself I don't agree with the policy or even begine to understand it and I will be retired before I see it in practice.
I do agree that aviators are very different but they are not all bad I have to work with them every day and I actually like some of them.
