Talk:UNSC Armed Forces

Why aren't the Marines and Navy included here? Or have they just not been gotten around to yet? -- Councillor Specops306 - Kora 'Morhek 21:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Trooper is resilient in saying that the Navy and Marines aren't in the UNSCDF. I've shown and told him a lot of evidence about a Defense Force isn't purely *defensive* in nature. For example, the Israeli and Australian Defense Forces; they have an Army, Air Force....and a Navy. File:United Nations logo.pngGeneral Tony, Administrator of Halopedia^Talk 8/05/2008

Transfer?

Is it possible for people to transfer between say the Army and Air Force? Say if ONI wanted to use an Air Force pilot for a mission or as part of a group, could they transfer them to the Navy?--210.56.88.80 11:25, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

People in the military don't really 'transfer' in the way how a civilian decides that he'd rather be a banker than a janitor. You stay in the branch you chose for as long as you're still in service, though I guess you could sign up for something else afterwards. Of course, you're asking if it could all happen at once - the answer is no. NOBLE team were still UNSC Navy personnel, but were working in a joint-service capacity with the UNSC Army. The capture of the Covenant corvette Ardent Prayer depended on the UNSC Navy and the UNSC Air Force to board the vessel - ONI didn't "transfer" the airmen into the Navy, they just took part because a brassed-up airman agreed to work with the Navy.-- Forerunner 11:33, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for the prompt and detailed response. That clears it up for me, makes sense too but I still wanted to clarify. Once again, thank you for your help.--210.56.88.80 11:45, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

You're welcome. I'm glad I went to that Navy class - they're a lot better at getting interest than the Air Force guys. :) -- Forerunner 11:47, 24 August 2011 (EDT)
