Very true, or at least that was my experience. I was stationed in the U.S. and later overseas, and the almost instantaneous feeling of family was constant no matter at which base I happened to be stationed. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

A lot of that team spirit has to do with everyone being so far from home. You're all in similar circumstances and become part of support systems for each other. It's kind of an intuitive survival mechanism, I suppose. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts with us!

I agree that learning to work together seamlessly is a necessity, and this involves the building of close bonds. But just like within a family, you're never going to be "buddy-buddy" with everyone. Some you just learn to tolerate, others become close friends, and still, others have almost a sibling relationship. Bonds nonetheless, though. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!!PRECIOUSreads wrote: ↑24 Mar 2020, 18:48 I think it's more than camaraderie. They learned to work as a cohesive unit and build bonds because of the pressure. They were friends.

Thank you so much for your remarkable/intuitive moderation from November through now. You are really good at what you do. Again, many thanks.

I was fond of parts of it as well, the camaraderie being the primary one that I miss. It's inevitable to form some sort of bond, positive or negative, with those in your unit that you live and work closely with every day. Even today, I miss two of the close friends I made in my unit. The bonds you form, never completely leave you, I suppose. Thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts!

Good comment. Thanks for sharing your thought.djr6090 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 11:36 I want to point out that the camaraderie extends to the military wives. Like the scene where the retired chief and his wife conspire to help the boatswain's apes give payback to the rogue marines.
In real life, the wives were a tight knit crew of their own. Sharing what little info was available about loved ones and helping each other get by in a very unpopular time was essential to the team
