Nope,the NAVY has SOLDIERS,and they call them "Marines". Marines are "Naval Infantry". I guess you guys could say you are the "Navy's army".(G)

I started reading this thread and KNEW you'd be along here soon slingin' that Naval Infantry shit. Pops is retired Navy and says the only good marine is a submarine.... wonder what the zoomies call us when we're out of earshot. Where can a lean green fighting machine get any respect around here huh?

Well,you have to take your fun where you find it anymore.

Who cares? They have DAMN good food,and don't even get mad when they catch us stealing it. In fact,I would like to go on record right here to advise the young Marines and soldiers to either buy or steal a USAF fatigue uniform right now so they will already have it when they deploy. Anytime you are deployed and want some GOOD food in a AC setting with real tables,all you have to do is put in on and wander into a AF messhall. The big things you have to watch out for is to not act shocked and say "HUH?" when they ask you what main course you would like,and to try and remember to not salute or look them in the eye. Either seems to scare them,and it lets them know you are a imposter.

It sure ain't easy,is it? Oh well,to quote Heinlein,"To the everlasting glory of the infantry!"
