I served on a number of Joint and DoD committees. The Navy (when they agreed to play with us at all) were always very strict and tended to follow regulations to an extreme. We in the Army were a little more flexible. The Air Force just laughed at most regulations and di what they wanted (and mostly got away with it, and with very little publicity.)
