I was a Navy soldier except for days when I was a transMarine.
Haha
My family has soldiers (Army), aviators and airmen (Air Force), and a few sailors (Navy).
The distinction was taught us young ones very early on.
No Marines. As my Uncle said “We tend to be to smart for the Marines.” But he was Air Force so take it with a grain of salt.
I'm trying to wrap my head around that one, but methinks the meaning has alluded me.
