"Navy gets the water, AF gets the skies (but shares), Army gets the ground, and the Marines get the short end of the stick (unfortunately)."

I had the opportunity to be an AF NCO in charge of some Marines in a JTF environment. 6 months of that taught me a lot of respect for Marines.

A simple, off-handed comment about 'Damn, that trash-truck has to be re-packed' while headed to a smoke break with the crew would result in a squared away lance working through his break on a nasty job that I had intended to break out for all of the troops under my care. (especially the annoying squid)

Lots of respect. And very careful about what I say around Marines.
