Hyperion74 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Over here the navy guys say that the marines are part of the navy to which we reply, yes it is, the best part. Back in the old days I think that marines could shoot, foremost, then hand reef and steer. That probably went out when steam came in. The Marine Corps now is mostly a fighting force. We still do security in the big ships but, as far as I know, we don't do anything else tied to the running of the ship. Still, a lot of our gear is launched from navy ships so even though we tease them a little, we still like our slimy squids. Now SEALS, they are awesome. I am kind of out of touch on most things Marine Corps these days. There aren't a lot of Marines out here on the prairie. I try to keep read up though. Oldnavy, since our Marine Corps is modeled after the Royal Marines, please share any tid-bits ya can. Oh, sorry my typing was so atrocious in the last few posts.

AKPyrate Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The Navy didn't always drop you guys off... I kind of like the idea of kicking a bunch of Marines off on a hostile beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion74 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Pyrate, Thanks for the post. I worked a lot of years with an old Coastie. It is an honor knowing him. A friend's son served in the CG. He once worked for me. I love Coasties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
