What is a Marine gunny?
99900
A Marine "Gunny" is another name for a Gunnery Sergeant, or the pay grade of E-7.  People say "Gunny" because saying "Gunnery Sergeant So and So" all the time takes too much time (all though Gunnery Sergeant is more formal).  Incidently, one of the two E-8 ranks in the Marine Corps is a Master Sergeant.  He can be called "Top" for short.

what gives you THAT idea?! They do too shoot weapons in the Boot Camp.  Small arms as well as rifle.  Anybody who stands a roving shipboard watch is also qual'd in weapons handling.

Marines is the best in soldiery.  It is the most disiciplined fighting force as a large unit and you will become respected by people by being a Marine.

The Air Force could cover Marine movements but Marine pilots train right along with the ground pounders.  They have a unique perspective on the needs of their ground units.\n\nI am retired from the Air Force and think highly of the organization.  But we do ask a lot of our Marines and in giving it they want their own cover.  I'm willing to give it to them.

Do you like chipping paint or handling weapons that is the difference. BM though get to handle the ships that they are on, but GM deal with the weapons

It is the US Marines, my father is one. They are a very highly regarded branch of the military, known for having an incredible brotherhood,  and for their loyalty and honor. They are usually called first to arrive in any situation, and are the last to leave. Their motto is Semper Fidelis is Latin for "always faithful".  Usually shortened to Semper Fi.\nHope that helps.

Try asking a Navy recruiter. My ex-sailor husband just explained to me the other day the relationship between the Merchant Marines and the Navy, and unfortunately I can't quote it to you, but the Navy people should be able to steer you in the right direction.

I think a Mariner is a boat captain or something like that.  I am just guessing because of Puget Sound being right there and their old logo used to look like the wheel from a boat.  Good question.
