not to be an ass, but these two sentences are true of
any outfit involved with the military. those who have "seen the elephant" so to speak will always value their training and impress upon the younger members the value of that training.
and as far as "not seeing action unless your division was involved," once again, that goes for any branch. With the exception of the past three years of war, there are many thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines that didn't see combat during their enlistments.
