You are correct!

I had to look up the Navy and the coast guard too which is where I found out that the coast guard has indiividual mascots for each ship not an official mascot for the entire branch of service.

Awsome Job. Coast Guard would have been the only one I knew since my dad was in the CG.

I knew the Air Force and the USMC - FIL was in the Air Force, and Yammie's DH is in the USMC. I wouldn't have known the others.

I've always thought it was because Army used pack mules all the way through WWII. Heck, they may be using them in rough terrian now. It was the Navy goat that threw me for a loop. I figured it would be a frog or a seahawk or a dolphin - at least a marine animal.

Here's why they picked a mule as the Army mascot:

Quote:
The choice of the mule as a mascot reflects the long-standing usefulness of the animal in military operations -- hauling weapons, ammunition, and supplies. Strong, hearty, and persevering, the mule is truly an appropriate symbol for the Corps of Cadets.
