Merchant Marine

The commercial ships of a nation and the men and women who man them, both as licensed officers and unlicensed crew. While Navy ships act to defend a nation on the sea, Merchant ships deliver cargo worldwide and are manned by civilians. U.S. Merchant Mariners are the highest paid in the world.

Consists of Freighters, Tankers, RoRo's, Tugboats, Barges, and Ferries

Ships are split into three departments in which personnel work: Deck (navigation, cargo operations, external maintenance), Engineering (propulsion, electrical, and any machinery), and Stewards (cooks).

Marina

The most loving human on the planet. If she comes on as rude or closed off, its because she'll never make the first move. But once she feels comfortable, she'll give you her entire heart. She is indescribable. Her beautiful, seductive eyes, long wavy hair, and fair skin will make you fall in love from across the room. If you're in love with Marina, which you definitely are, go get her. If you love her, she'll make sure to love you more.
I love Marina more than I could imagine.

Marina and the Diamonds

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, born in 1985, is a British alternative/indie pop sensation. Known from 2010 on for her hit song "I Am Not A Robot" and her conceptual album "Electra Heart," Marina is beautiful, flawless, and basically a goddess, however she gets screwed over all of the time by her shitty record label 679 Records.

Marina and the Diamonds's name comes from, well, her first name, and her last name. 'Diamandis' means 'diamonds' in Greek, but she named herself Marina and the Diamonds to represent not only herself but also her fanbase. Therefore, I am a Diamond.
"Have you heard that Marina and the Diamonds was releasing her new album this fall?"
"Yeah but she probably won't because 679 can't do jack fucking shit"

Marine

The USMC is over 222 years of romping, stomping, hell, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a bomb crater, our Mother was an M-16, and our Father was the Devil. Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life. I am a rough looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and do not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster, made of blood and guts, who arose from the sea, feasting on anti-Americans throughout the globe. Whenever it may arise, and when my time comes, I will die a glorious death on the battlefield, giving my life for Mom, the Corps, and the American Flag. We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army. On the 7th day, while God rested, we over-ran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers and talk like sailors and slap the Hell out of both of them. Soldier by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice,
MARINE BY GOD!!! OORAH!!!
Every waking day of a U.S. Marine.
