Very simple a person joins the Army, Navy, and Air Force. A person becomes a Marine. Being a Marine is part of your identity, not just part of your history. Semper FI and happy Birthday.

Jacob Hollander - I hope you have as much pride in your service as I have in mine. But I grew up near an Air Force base and my son wants to join the Air Force (which I have encouraged). But spend some time around Marines, we are different.

When I was in, several Marines called me MOM and it stuck (even though I was Army) with my unit, and the others. Still consider myself a VERY PROUD MOM of all the soldiers, Airmen, sailors and Marines I served with from 2007 to 2009 at Fort Bliss,Texas. Anyone that enlists and serves are my heroes.

There's a reason why there is a fascination and why the hair on people's neck stand on end when they see a Marine walk in his dress blues proudly. If you walk on this earth without eating with a Marine, training with a Marine, fighting with a Marine- yes, even crossing paths with a Marine- be prepared for a complete culture shock. Marines are like their own religion, their own sect; a cult. No one can honestly say they can understand a Marine- unless you are a Marine. End of story.

The Marine Corps is trained in it's own history, not just for the history lesson, but as part of what we, Marines, carry within us everyday after we graduate and receive the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Most other services just use it's own history as a class and not much more. Marines have a long history and make history every day.
