This old sailor has the highest respect for all Marines. I also have the highest respect for all Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

The rivalry that exists is or should be good natured. The only bad thing I will ever say about Marines is that the food they used to serve to Marines was not palatable. In support of this contention I note I have never ever seen a Marine turn down an invitation to a Navy mess. I hope my comments on the food are outdated and they have the best now.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Palatable??
Heck, most of it was not edible unless you were starving, which we usually were.
If I had had a choice I'd have rather gone through the mess at the Salvation Army soup kitchen!
The main dish was usually SOS that could be thrown like a baseball and never drip a drop.
