Among the Services, the Army consistently has shown the highest rates of domestic violence, followed by the Marines, Navy, and Air Force.iii

these guys seem to think the DV rates are higher in the army, consistent with everything I've seen.

there is support, I just don't have it in front of me...

and like I have said before, im not saying the AF isn't bad, or the Army isn't bad.. hell, I even mentioned my current duty station has the highest rate in all of AFGSC

Lets say the army has 13 incidents per 1000 households (completely made up number), I would be willing to bet the other branches would be pretty similar and that there isn't any significant variance.

you are correct that every branch has it's issues and fair share of dirt bags...

but from personal experience and because MINOT has a HUGE problem...
they showed us reports from across the AF, across my MAJCOM and the 4 services...

Marines lead, and like you said not by much, the variance is small, but they are the leaders... it's not a big deal

army has been in front in every study I've seen. No doubt that they all need need some work though.

USA is also the largest branch as well, was that taken into account (not arguing, jsut asking). I've always seen stats back when i as AD, that showed the army having the highest rates of just about every bad thing imaginable, but then again, they have more personnel than the AF, Marines etc.

There's also that "small" issue of combat stress, PTSD etc. Folks suffering from that tend to have higher rates of domestic violence (and violence in general) as well.
