So the Navy guy was right as usual. Damn Marines will send a fella anywhere.

NAVY til I die
We should all remember that the USMC is a part of the Department of the Navy.
The MEN'S department.
The MEN'S department.
I was a primary navigator as a Marine team leader for several years. I was excellent at it. I only ever put us behind enemy lines once. Not only that, I only ever inadvertently invaded a foreign country once, and not badly enough to get caught (true story).
Back in the day I was part of a joint services installation team, installing Satellite systems to replace the undersea cables to the Pacific Rim.
One of our stops was Subic Bay in the Philippines. Of course at the end of the day we hit the local watering holes, and I can say this without any doubt. An Army guy can call a Marine a jarhead, or leatherneck, and a Navy guy a swabbie, or paint chipper, and get a smile and an offer to share a beer.
None of that happens between the swabbies and jar heads. Its a full out fight. Tables broken, bars destroyed, Shore Patrol involved. Nights in the brig. Craziest thing I've ever seen.

LOL, When I was in Korea we had Army commo taking care of the Navy base at Chinhae. We had to go there on occasion to do maintenance on the systems.
The ships would come in after 90/120 days on line off the coast of Vietnam, with no alcohol. Somebody was always ringing the ships bell that meant a round for the house. Heck of a party, but it always ended with a brawl between the Marines, and the Sailors.
Ain't sayin what was in the bullpen outside the front door.............
Cool. Then you can have a lightweight shoot-out, 9mm vs. .45 ACP. I'm betting on the BHP.
