The Air Force, Marine, Army and Navy use the Beretta M9 9mm
The Coast Guard uses the Sig P229 .40.
Unless your friend was an officer, he would have been issued an M16 or M4.
In the Army, only the Green Beenies have the option to use another sidearm.
Now, if your buddy was an Operator after he got out of the service, that'd make sense.
There are a lot of agencies that use the 226 though.
