I'll ditto in with Sub_guy...the Navy does have a role, along with the Army and Airforce....the fact that the Navy hasn't fired shots in anger in a long time doesn't invalidate our presence in areas that need representation from Canada that the Army cannot go.
Can the Army sit 12 miles offshore Syria? Sail around Cyprus and monitor things? Can the Airforce spend weeks on station? Can the Army drop everything, load up 1000 troops and drive themselves down to a disaster area to help rebuild and deliver relief supplies over 1500 miles from home-base?
The Army does many things which the Navy cannot, and vice-versa....even in the Army they recognize that no one type of unit is perfectly suited for a mission....this is why "Combined Arms" has been a work in progress since WWI.
Anyhow, if you don't see a good reason for the Navy to be a part of your life, or you don't feel that you can contribute to our nation by continuing your Naval career, and want to switch over to the Army, then by all means, do what is best for you.
Oh, and so far, I haven't seen the Donkey show either...TJ hasn't been one of my port visits (yet)
