being a depeartment of the navy only means that the Corps serves with the navy.... this is more old time than now a days stuff...... the marines are now more of shock and awe troops that hit hard and fast with little prep time... hence the name expeditonary...... the US has relied on these men and women many times for thier dicipline and unique fighting ability... if you were to train them with the navy thier effectiveness would drop(not due to navy training just because it is two very different services)
