But the USMC is,and has been since birth,a part of the Navy.
I don't see a need for this.And yes,I'm prepared to be torn a new one by various Marine Freepers.
I agree...the Marine Corps is part of the Department of the Navy...The Men’s Department:o)
And at one time the Navy marched ahead of Marines but that changed during WWII. Considering all that we expect of (America’s 911, First to Fight, etc.) Marines is really that big of a deal to actually acknowledge them as being a part of the Navy? Not going to “tear you up” just find it a little sad.

No negative talk here. But I do want to mention the Navy. When I served in Nam with the 1st Marine div. there were 2 groups of people I was very proud to serve with.Corpsman, and Sea bees. These guys were outstanding! I, as a former Marine don’t need special recognition as we were formed, in part, to deal with pirates for the Navy. We do our job, and the Navy does their job. And I think we all do it pretty well.
I agree. If anything it should be renamed to Department of Marines and the Navy.
