Something I've always been curious about...why do the Marines not have their own medics?
The Marines are the ground combat arm of the Navy – as much as many don’t want to admit being Navy.

Hey clueless, United States Marines are neither the ground combat arm of the Navy or part of the Navy! We are part of the Department of the Navy. Arghhhhhhhhhh....

Did you know the current chairman of the JCOS, General Peter Pace, is a Marine? He is the first Marine to hold the position of Chairman.
