A person who joined the Marine Corps.. a department of the navy... so they could run around saying there the best and everyone will think there right..

A problem with this is that there not the first to fight neither are they the best. This is an example of branding, hollywood movies and media made there reputation what it is not facts and history..

People who want to fight for there country but watch footage of themselves on the news being called marines even though there in the army join the army because its about loyalty and dedication.

To prove the army is a more elite force heres a break down.

listed by the level of training needed and the level of most deadly.

Marines (infantry) Army (Infantry) Navy (marines)

Marines (force recon) Army (Rangers) Navy (nothing)

Marines (nothing) Army (Spec forces) Navy (Seals)

Marines(nothing) Army (Delta Force) Navy (nothing)

As for whos first to fight read some history books. Yes there were missions marines arrived at first but the army was somewhere else fighting at the time.

Spec forces are in before anybody else is as is the CIA. A marine grunt isnt there before the army is.
Marine's aren't the first to fight, special forces are always in a country before the ground forces get there.

A group of people who pride themselves in being strict and hardcore to the outsider. Someone who takes pride in how the uniform looks on them, but cannot even spell ASVAB (not asvap dumb ass) an abbreviation of the test required to enter any military branch. This strange group of people are happy living in conditions that make the ghetto look like Beverly Hills. They make fun of what they don't understand ie. the Air Force and the Army. A group that is proud of the fact that they were in Fallujah and stirred up a hornets nest. However they forget to mention the Army had to come in and save their asses. It is a given that their Basic Training is among if not the toughest, but being stronger than the man or woman beside them does not make them bullet proof. Being in the US flying a UAV or hiding behind the Army does. These people think that they are better than every one around them, but are in fact no different than any of the people around them. All signed a voluntary contract, all proudly serve (however misguided it may be), and all would die proudly in battle for the country they serve and protect. The biggest difference between any other branch of the military and Marines is the fact that all other branches have the ability to use common sense
Wow, are we on a Military installation or did we go to the ghetto? I thought military bases were well kept. I guess the Marines here in Hawaii don't know how to maintain their buildings.

Dang I saw that guy in the gym every day too bad his brain wasn't strong enough to tell him to get out of the way of that bullet.

Why don't Marines have their own medics? Because they rely on the Navy for everything else they figure what the hell we will use theirs since none of our guys are smart enough to learn how to do it.

I guess the Army gives all the junk helicopters to the Marines. They are the only branch to still rely heavily on the Huey and the Cobra. Hello try upgrading to a Black Hawk or an Apache!! They are newer and more sophisticated machines never mind simplicity is more your cup of tea. SORRY!!

ALL MARINE PAYCHECKS ARE SIGNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY!!

more of an acronym than an actual warfighter. "My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment."
"All right Marines, we're headed to Afghanistan!"

"But how are we gonig to get there?"

"I've got the CO of the Kearsarge on the line. We'll hitch a ride with them."

1. Of the sea/ocean.
2. A soldiers of the Marines branch of their country's military (notably USA). Patriots like them for "protecting their freedom", WAP's and Afghans hate them for ruining their homes.
3. USMC - The branch which actively intervene and bombing the hell out of Syria and Asia minor, killing many people, yet people still think they are heroes and protect their freedoms, when they never defended the USA, making it the most overrated military branch ever. Just my opinion though
1. We should protect marine life.

A Armenian girl with light eyes and light brown hair and ivory skin. A person with a lot of passion, a great sense of humor, very emotional and who is still trying to figure out who she is and where her life is taking her. Has no real balance in her life. She is always on one end of the scale, never in between. Wears her heart on her sleeve and gets hurt very often. Does not like when she is called Ma- rine. Instead likes to be called Ma'- Ree'-Ney'. Always has issues with her weight. She loves her family and her friends
Marine is beautiful but does not know it.

marinate (gaming term)

Used in games like Among Us or Mafia where you gain a player’s trust only to betray them later in the game.

Commonly used in Disguised Toast’s friend group, the player, usually named Toast (commonly referred as to as the best Among Us player) would gain a crewmates trust and get them to vouch for him only for him to kill them later.
Marinate example:

Valkyrae: No it’s not me! Talia don’t listen to him He is marinating you!

Talia: No, he was next to me the entire time I don’t know he could’ve killed?

Valkyrae was not the imposter...
