its actually kinda funny to see how the navy and marines get along.
Just today one of the Petty officers at my recruiting station challenged one of the marines recruiters to a game of battleship.
It was funny only because the marine responded with, "No, sorry man, I actually have to work."
GO MARINES!!! GO NAVY!!!
XD

By work, he meant PT. Because that's basically all they do when they aren't absorbing bullets. Lol.

No but seriously... all the marines do here on Okinawa is PT...
Sadly... they have it better than us in the Air Force... on Okinawa that is.
Granted, the whole Chair Force thing is true for 25% of it... and it pisses all of us off on the flight line off. Those stupid lazy bastards sitting at their chair in finance too lazy to do some lousy paperwork for you while your busting your a** for 16 hours a day trying to get this stupid 15 to fly...
Sorry... angst kicked in.
But I truthfully love the Marines. There is alot of issues with Air Force vs. Marines here... but I've gotten along with every marine I met so far. As soon as I tell them I work the flightline, they know I actually work rather than sit down all day. In fact, I spend most of my time outside... which gets really tiring. They are good guys to drink with and have some good/bad stories to talk about too. Never down a Marine or I'll be beatin you down right along with them.

HAY, >_< Your putting me down when you say that intelligence isn't required. I'm in MCJROTC and I'm smarter than my SMI already D:< so you can't say that Intelligence not essential thing..And marines have the most diverse history KNOWN TO MAN. AND WERE NOT MEATSHIELDS....SOME OF THE MARINES WORK IN COMMS DX.

Technically, the Marines are the only Branch that Work Directly with the CIA and the FBI, so their intelligence and reconnaissance is through the roof.
They are the first ones in and the last ones out. They are technically the primary gatherers of intelligence for the CIA.
Want to know the acronym for Army?
Aren't
Really
Marines
Yet

海兵隊員が最初にに参加したあらゆる戦争に、私達勝ったことを忘れてはいけない。
キューバの侵入は軍隊によって戦った。
ベトナム戦争は軍隊によって始められた。
1812年の戦争は軍隊によって戦った。

The Japanese in WWII was fought only by the Marines and the Navy (yeah.)
The Vietnam war was fought with all branches.
The war of 1812 is a HORRIBLE example. The war of 1812 is what saw the development of what the Marines are today- Ground units deployed by the Navy.
As a matter of fact, the only reason we won the war of 1812 was because our Navy was SOOO good- by law we weren't allowed to have a ground force larger than 9000 units. So, we instead employed ground troops in our Navy. As a matter of fact, our Naval units would take muskets, load them with things like forks and knives and lots of little misshapen balls (like on dat pirate movie) and then would shoot this 'shotgun' blast at enemy ships, often times taking out several enemy units, like officers and whatnot, and we'd kill the British Navy.
You know how the British 'Navy' had ground troops? That was because of the MARINES. We exploited marines to a much fuller extent, and that's why we won the War of 1812.
Know your history.,
wink

Know your history., wink Umm, really and truthfully we lost 1812. They burnt D.C. ... we burnt Toronto... British just didn't wanna bother with us. The U.S. was desperate to get out of the war after D.C. was lost. Pound for pound, the British defeated us in almost every aspect because it was only us vs. them. The only major battle we did win was after the ceasefire treaty was signed. Also whatever Navy we did have was comprised of Privateers. We were too poor to actually build our own, and before the war time began, we were more concentrated on domestic issues. 1812 caught us on a bad time. The U.S. has never wanted to settle on the fact that we lost however and consider it a draw. EDIT: Also remember, in the later years of the war. Napoleon was defeated in Europe and Britain was able to send alot more troops to the States. Increasing the states desire to get out. Also, Vietnam was started by the Army. The Army was the first division in. The point I was trying to make was that we won every war where the Marines were the first to go in. Didn't mean to put it all in Japanese, you can blame that on my keyboard razz EDIT 2: The naval muskets your speak of are called musketoons, a type of blunderbuss.
