Hey, Hey!
Without us Sailors, you Marines wouldn't be able to go anywhere. :-)


A person I went to nursing school with was a retired Navy medic who had
served with Marine units. He was fond of reminding Marines that when it
came to breaking things up and killing people they were the best in the
world. HOwever, when it came to doing that required more finesse (such
as, in his words, keeping their skinny little butts alive), they relied
on the Navy.
