Simple question, why do we still have the U.S. Marine Corps when it's origional reason for being (boarding enemy ships on the high seas) is no longer relevent?

USMC's if I am correct are not all in total the same as RM's?

RM's are still world wide useful, you can't just dispand of 1 of the oldest infantry type if not original regt's. We still use the RM's with great use.

But then again USMC's work differently to RM's.

Cool, thanks for the info!
I'll need to have a look into those...hey do you guys ever cross train with the RN?
I know you guys cross train with the RM but i dont know about the RN...
 
hmmmm ok

Iv'e never personally trained with USMC's but have been deployed with USN at times.

I know a few RM's that have had to "buddy up" during a month exchange etc.
 
According to the first question, his question equates to this : "Is there further need for the US Marine Corps.?"

Open your mind. Yes indeed there is need for the US Marine Corps. Doctrines change, tactics change, the US Marine Corp evolved to a point where it has seen most of the action since World War II.
 
I never trained with the RN but I did with the Aussie Navy. Of course most of my time was with FMF Pacific.

Remember, the FR Companies and Bn Recon have been "melded"......missions are still the same, but different training/op structure.

We are off topic, but my boy is a daredevil like his pop, walked at 9 months and now thinks he can jump off the backs of chairs....his mother is going to kill me. :shock: :shock:
 
Your just lucky it's not a girl. Who would rather dress up in cammies and play with a plastic MP-5 than Barbies. Then Mom really gives ya the Evil Eye :lol:
