I’m Navy. I served with some Marines during the period 3/67 thru 12/70. I can joust with Marines all day long, but I have only respect for them. I think they also respect us, the squids.
Thank you for the ships, the chow, the really big guns, and most of all for the Corpsmen.
Semper Fi.

I am with you 100%. We used to hold them in a somewhat humorous contempt, but in the end, how can you not respect someone who gets through Parris Island?
I have always loved the quote by Hemingway: “I would rather have a good Marine, even a ruined one, than anything in the world when there are chips down.”
I would agree with that.
