plus I read they plan to invade the Gorns

The first organizational change occurred on December 20, 2019, when the Fourteenth Air Force/Air Forces Strategic was redesignated as Space Operations Command (SpOC). Major General John E. Shaw, former Commander, Fourteenth Air Force, was redesignated as Commander, Space Operations Command;

MGEN Shaw became Commander SPOC.

I count 6: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Space Force. Unless you fall back on the "Marines are really a branch of the Navy", which I don't think is accurate these days.

Status: offline 		The US Marines are a branch of the US Navy, they have always historically been so. I like to remind them that they all joined the Navy to be infantrymen. They are under the Secretary of the Navy. There is no Secretary of the Marines like there is for the US Army, the US Air Force while the US Coast Guard is now under the Department of Homeland Security.

There are no US Marine medical personnel nor US Marine chaplins, those are provided by the US Navy.

You know the ones - the guy with the deep voice, lots of naval aviation depicted, some subs, etc. These Space Force ones seem amateur by comparison.

Maybe they should get some anime cartoons . . .

Yes! The Space Force has already developed a disintegrating gun to take care of that filth!

Ha, yeah - basically like this. This is exactly how I receive the Space Force recruitment ads.

In times of war, the Coasties get transferred to the Department of Defense. In world War II, it was transferred to the War Department.

I like to remind the Navy types that when they get into trouble, they call the Coasties for help. When the Coasties got into trouble that they could not get out of, the US Army saved them.
