When I was in third grade my dad was a ROTC instructor at SW Texas State College in San Marcos, TX. In his class he would not let the cadets say the words Army or Navy. The Marines did not matter since they were owned by the Navy. The Coast Guard did not even come up. They were required to spell the other services out like bad four letter words around kids.
Many years later one of his former cadets was giving a presentation at the Pentagon and my dad was at the table. The former cadet was now a Major and was in the middle of some statement when he said something like "And in the Army (then he turned to my dad and quietly said sorry sir) they do this operation using these steps"
He had many funny stories of BSing with the other services and bar bets, all in good fun.
