I'm confused. How can he start as a Marine private and end up a Navy captain?

One possible way: He entered Officer Candidates School. He then joined the Navy.

There's lots of guys that have served in 2 or even 3 branches of the service. And many mustangs that enlist and end up as officers either through battlefield commissions (like Audie Murphy) or by getting a college education. I served with a guy that had started out in the Army in the Korean War and then went in the Navy and then the Air Force. It all counts toward retirement.
