Now this is a serious question Mr Marine

why dont you guys have an academy? I know you can get into Annapolis and opt for Marines at graduation (at least I think you can based on my experience- "Hearbreak Ridge")

But seriously I think the coast guard does and maybe even merchant marines. why not you guys? or is there one I dont know about.

The USMC falls under the Dept. of the navy. The United States Naval Academy trains Marine officers as well as Navy officers.

Like a diamond is part of an engagement ring, the Marines are part of the Navy.

Semper Fi!

I really think folks that do what they do including protecting embassies deserve their own academy. But hey if it isnt broken......

Why would you put the Coast Guard in the same category as the Merchant Marines? As an ex Coasite I can see that you don't know much about what they do or get exposed to.

I was just naming branches that have a school


Apr 27, 2012, 5:10 PM

I wasnt equating or differentiating anybody. I just think the Marines rate a school. And I do know the diff in CG and MM
