Your observation on this matter is a repetition of a fallacious and oft repeated rumor. The Navy and Marines operate very well together, and while there is a friendly and sometimes rough competition between them, they respect and admire each other for their merits.

You're absolutely right about that! We have Navy and Army at this Marine base and there's none of that "old school" BS about the Army being a bunch of stupid grunts or the Marines being the "Navy's Army", or the squids being a bunch of sissies. (I've heard the stories of how the branches ragged on each other a long time ago) Everyone works together here and respects each other and it's awesome to see! :o)
