is the marine corps part of the navy?

...as noted, it's a department of the Navy...the men's department.

III Corps army units, most notably the 4th ID and 1st Air Cav divisions, it seems hardly possible that a Marine outfit would be sent there, either for training or stationing? Of course, there's always the outside chance of inter-service coordination.  We now have the first Marine General (Lt. Gen James Cartwright) in charge of the Strategic Command, before it was either an Airforce or Navy Admiral, so i guess the times they are a changin.

There is no separate Marine ROTC - Navy ROTC has a Marine option.  Start your search with scholls that offer Navy ROTC.

Elite? Consider every branch except the Marine Corp has units in SOCOM (Special Operations COMmand). (It appears this has recently changed as of 02/24/2006)\n\nWhile Jarheads get my respect as kick A** Warfighters they are trained to React not Act, Spec. Op's soldiers need the ability to think and act independently an indoctrination strictly averred in the Corp.\n\nThis is ashamed because I would have much more respect for the SEAL's if they were selected from the Corp instead of the Navy....What dipstick came up with that idea???

A corpsman is the Navy version of an Army medic.  S/he is trained as a nurse (don't know what level, but pretty high cause they can give shots and not all nurses can do that) and EMT and a battle field life saver.  They go on convoys and are the first to treat a war wound.  In the rear, they are sick call, dealing with sickness and sprained ankles.  I'm sure on Navy bases, they treat Navy, but many are stationed on Marine bases to support us, since we have no medical field available in the Marines.  Some Navy docs are great.  Some not so great.  It's what you make of yourself.  But all in all, I don't know a single Marine that doesn't respect a Corpsman, even if we do tease you about joining the wrong branch of service.

They're the "Grunts" .  The basic training is tougher than the other services and their job in the military is front line fighting while the other services are more specialized in other things.  The marines are actually a department of the Navy, and are used by the navy for frontline defense and guarding gates, etc.  They're the muscle.

I am gonna enlighten you.\nThe Marines and the Army are not the same outfit.\nThere are also Navy Reserves, Air Force Reserves, and Coast Guard Reserves.

In the past, The Marine Corps Commadant would retire from the military, following his stint as Commadant. This hasn't been the case lately.  The last Commadant, General James Jones was offered the job as Supreme Commander of NATO forces, which is a position he still holds.For the first time in US history a Marine Corps General has been assigned the position of Chairman of the joints chief of staff.  His name is General Peter Pace.  The Corps is finally getting the recognition it has earned and truly deserves. The Marine Corps is the only branch of service that has a Commadant, because it is part of the Navy but,the buck stops with the Commadant on matters pertaining to Marines!   Semper Fidelis!

THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS regardless of what is thought does have problems with flat foot,unlike navy or air force.the basic marine is a "grunt" or foot soldier, no matter what his "MOS" or military occupation is, so a pencil pusher or truck driver in the marines could at a seconds notice find themselves faced with combat and flat feet don't hold up with foot soldiers.

The Army doesn't have branches.  The US government has branches (executive, legislative and judicial).  The military has branches, I guess - Army, Navy (Marines are part of the Navy) and Air Force.  Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security, not the Defense Department, so they aren't considered military.

Look on the United States Marine Corps website and follow the LOCATOR link.  All information needed to locate an active duty Marine is listed, as well as additional websites you can use.  Good luck!

The Marine Corps\n\nFirst to Fight, last to leave, the Marine Corps has the honor of being the premiere fighting force.  Marines pride themselves on Espirit de Corps - the Spirit of the Corps, and honor their traditions and history beyond any other branch of the military. The Marines were born November 10, 1775 in Tun Tavern in Philadelphia.  (Figures we'd be born in a bar)  \n\nMarines are hard fighters, hard drinkers, earning the name 'Teufel Hunden' or Devil Dogs from the Germans during the Battle of Baleau Woods during WWII.   Marines are also called 'Leathernecks' from the strip of leather worn across the throat during colonial times, to protect their throats from sabers.  The red stripes on the sides of trousers worn by NCO's (non-commission officers) are called 'Blood stripes' in honor of the blood shed by other Marines.\n\nAnd how do I know the Marines are the best?  Any Marine could recite to you everything I just wrote!\n\nSemper Fi!

Facing the flags. The American Flag in the center and higher. The Army and Navy on either side next since they are the two oldest branches. Next to the Navy the Marine Corps Flag since it was at one time a part of the Navy. Next to the Army, the Air Force Flag since it was at one time part of the Army. Then on the out side the Coast Guard on one side and the Merchant Marines on the other side..

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.
