I recall reading a few years ago that the Marine Corps has one of the largest air forces in the world, certainly behind the USAF and USN but pretty large overall and we fly a lot of hours apparently.

Jeff I am one of the lucky ones over the many years I did that stuff to have gotten to work with the Marines on several occasions. As I look back I vividly remember several occasions when I would exchange foreign weapons training and ammo for maritime operations training i.e. keeping cast masters current etc... I love working with the Marines, I liked where I was doing what I was doing but Marines were my knuckle dragging barbarian brothers.

...Oh almost forgot, if some jackass needed a little killing the Marines were always on board for that, I love it.

Jefe, I feel the Marines have a great understanding of what the demands keeping us safe entails. If I am not mistaken it took the Marines several years to officially come into the Special Operations fold. I think there was a concern they would lose control of the asset i.e. some Army General having control of Marines. Then finally MARSOC happened but the truth is we are all one team and that is just my pre-coffee guess.
