Qeustion about Marines?

Just remember this, the Marines would get pretty tired swimming to the site of the invasion if it weren't for the navy hauling them there and dumping them on the beach.

The Marines are a relatively small force.  They are stationed in the toughest locations.  I believe the ratio is probably 3 to 1.

It really depends what you want to do.\n\nThe Marines are the most physical, tough and are sometimes the greatest effected by joining.\n\nThe Army is ground and usually fight with the Marines.\n\nThe Marines is also part of the Navy which go over seas, on various vessels for long periods of time.  They tend to see more of the world.  Usually, they sailors go out for six-nine months and then get to stay in the states for about the same amount of time until being deployed again.\n\nThe Coast Guard won't get involved in major warfare and are usually the ones busting drug rings around the south coast!  And also the ones that handle the refugees from Cuba.\n\nDo your own investigating (each branch has a website) and see what fits best for you.  Or even go to your local recruitment center and pick up packets from each branch before making your decision. \n\nAnd good luck!

Sorry, but that PROBABLY won't help you.  The USMC gets it's officers from the US Navy, and they have, for the most part, attended Annapolis.  \n\nIf the marines have an OCS, then you might be able to go that route.

There address is \nUnited States Marine Corps History Division\n3079 Moreell Avenue\nQuantico, Virginia 22134\nI would send them some pictures along with the above information and anything else you think might help.\nThey can't respond to emails, but there web site is listed below.\nSemper Fi and good luck

There are some Marines and Soldiers that are tougher than others but as a whole the Marines are better pound for pound. The Marines are similar to the ancient Spartans in that for the most part an individual Marine is average in sheer physical strength as is the Soldier.  When there is more than one Marine together with a common objective, they are unstoppable.  The main differences between the Army and the Marines is in their training, dedication, drive, motivation, discipline, heart, skill, their sense of purpose and duty and mostly their attitude.  In those areas, the United States Marines blow everyone else away.  If anyone is in doubt as to what I have just stated, just do a little research and answer these two questions; Who is more famous, more respected and has a bigger reputation world wide?  Why do you see so many Marine stickers on automobiles than any other branch of service when the U.S. Marines is so small in comparison?  Here are a few more questions that might keep you busy.  Why are the Marines the ones that guard American Embassies?  Why have the Marines had to take over Army duties and tasks time and again?  Why did General MacArthur order the Marines to remove their canvas leggings in the Korean War?  Why is the Marine Band called the President's Own?  Why is there a Marine Air One and not an Army One?  Why is it that the Marines guard the White House?  Why were the Marines the ones asked to guard the U.S. Mail in the early 1900s' and not the Army?  And finally, my personal answer to your question.  Maybe not always the Marine, but most of the time.  If I had to bet on one of them in a fight I would always put my money on the Marine.  The Marine might not win but you can bet your *** that he will have to be dead or almost dead at the end if he loses.  If I had to bet on who would quit first, I would put all of my money on the soldier.  Semper Fidelis!!!!!!!!

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.

Simply put, the Marines are part of the navy. They are under control/direction of the Dept. of the Navy.  Providing security for the ships themselves as well as the brig (jail on ships), is one of their primary functions.  Marines always have and always will go to sea! Semper Fi
