My Uncle did 7 years in the navy but he retired out of the Army.
I guess he got smart.

Yep, you sure can. Once you have fulfilled your obligation to your first enlistment, you can then sign up for another branch of the service if you wish. I know because I did it. I did a stint in the Marines and then did one in the Navy. I had a friend from France who did a stint in the French Army, moved to the USA and joined the US Navy. Quite often people will serve in one active branch of the service and then join a reserve unit of a different branch. It is not all that uncommon to have served in more than one branch of the service.

Jery B is right and wrong. You can change branches of service if you want to, but the only branch that requires you to go back through boot camp is the marines. as far as getting kicked out, it depends on how your discharge is coded. as long as you have a general or higher discharge yo can get back in. you might have to wait 6 months before trying to re-enlist. I was in the army guard for 3.5 years, did not like it as much as i thought i would, made them put me out by failing the pt test 3 times, still got an honorable discharge. 6 months later i re-enlisted with the air guard. and for the guy who said the air force does not take prior service, that is not true either. i tried to go active duty air force and it is possible, but they only take priors if they can go into the most critical of afsc-Para Rescue or sometime a recruiter position. but once you are in and you full fill your commitment to your training you can cross train into something else.

I knew a guy in the navy, who was already in the Air Force,
and the army, and next he was going into the Marines.
The only problem with that, is you have to go to basic training
each time. As long as your serving "Honorably." Why not?

Yes the only branch that doesn't take prior service is Air Force.
You will have to wait until you are discharge from one service.
It depends on your RC code on your DD214 you might be able to get a waiver unless it is RC code 4 or anything medical

Yes you can. I served in the air Force and then I served in the Navy. You will be called an "OSVET". (Other service Vet)

You can serve in all four military branches but you can on serve in one at a time. Many people have moved from one branch to another and I did know one who served in three. don't know any one who served in four but might be someone out there who did.

Yes. If you finish your time in the Army you can re-enlist in a different branch...

Yes, absolutely. You keep time in service but rank depends on many things.

You can change branches, but can't serve in more than one at the same time
