Did the USMC ever fly the F-84 Sabre Fighter?

Found this curiosity in front of the main gate at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. The F-84 was a sleek looking fighter, but as far as I know, only the USAF flew it.

MSgt Neil Greenfield, the North American FJ-2 and FJ-3 Fury was developed from the F-86 Sabre and flown by the USN and the USMC. They looked virtually identical and both had the swept wing configuration.

North American FJ-2/-3 Fury - Wikipedia

The North American FJ-2 and FJ-3 Fury are a series of swept-wing carrier-capable fighters for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The FJ-2 resulted from an effort to navalize the United States Air Force's F-86 Sabre. These aircraft featured folding wings, and a longer nose landing strut designed to increase angle of attack upon launch and to accommodate a longer oleo to absorb the shock of hard landings on an aircraft carrier deck.
