military banter 

Where different areas of the military basically take the piss out of each other for a laugh. The marines take the piss out of paras and the paras take the piss out of marines, the army does it to the navy and everyone does it to the RAF. But just like anything in the military they all know that it is joking and have each other's backs when they need it.

Marines: Whoohoo paras can jump out of planes, so can we.
Paras: Marines are the naval equivalent of the RAF regt.
*later in a firefight* marines and paras are side by side because they are on the same side and it's just military banter
