Correct. The USMC falls under the Department of the Navy. "The Mens Department". I was a swabby but I have nothing but respect for the Marines. If I want my butt covered I want them doing it.

Not to disgrace the USM in any way whatsover, but didn't Chuck Norris do these first?


Yep, Chuck Norris didn't do push-ups, he was pushing the earth downward, ha!

I have been castigated for previous jokes about Marines, perhaps this will help the hurt feelings.


And when he dies and goes to Heaven
To St. Peter, he will tell
One more Marine reporting Sir
I'have served my time in hell.

Well, you know the difference between the Navy and the Boy Scouts...?

The Boy Scouts are adult supervised!

Yes that is true. But the Marines fall under The Men's Department.

There was a study years ago on if there was a difference between Parris Island and San Diego Marines.

There wasn't. Leadership and ethos is all that matters!
