After WWII my dad and uncles, all army or marines, used to give one of my aunts husband-who was navy-a bunch of good natured chit when someone would ask if him if he'd been in the service. My dad or an uncle would always jump in and answer "No, he was in the navy".
Went on until they l died.
My old man was in the Navy on a minesweeper - WWII. He said he never ate better in his life!
Yeah it’s funny the Badgering between
The Navy and Marines.
My uncle was Navy operating landing craft during WWII, he was delivering a load of Marines to the beach at Tarawa when his craft was shot up and disabled. He had to go to the beach with the Marines. As he was wading through the dead Marines he grabbed a rifle, ammo and other gear. He fought along side the Marines for several days until they could get him back to the ship.
You have it exactly right. No harm or hard feeling meant at all. BTW; I was Navy.
