The Marines were approx. 300,000.

You're incorrect by over 100,000. The Corps hasn't been that large since WWII.

FY 1992 - ~185,000 Marines

FY 1993 - ~178,000 Marines

FY 1994 - ~174,000 Marines

FY 1995 - ~174,000 Marines

FY 1996 - ~175,000 Marines

FY 1997 - ~174,000 Marines

FY 1998 - ~173,000 Marines

FY 1999 - ~173,000 Marines

FY 2000 - ~173,000 Marines

FY 2001 - ~173,000 Marines
