Question...Why doesn't the Marines have a football team?

[adoniijahsooner]

Never understood why they do not play football.

[Curly Bill]

The Marines do not have their own service academy. Marine officers are trained at the Naval Academy.

[adoniijahsooner]

Nevermind....just found out you can be in the Naval Academy and elect Marines to play college ball.

[Curly Bill]

:D

My uncle was in the Navy and he always talks about how the marines are a bunch of softies. I didn't know they all study together.

[olevetonahill]

Yup the Jarheads are really just swabbies:D

[Cornfed]

If you look at the Navy's jerseys they have the squidly emblem on one sleeve and the eagle globe and anchor on the other.

The United States Marine Corps is a department of the navy. Thus. The navy sets our budget and everything else we would get. About the softie comment. Heh!! How do you take seriously a group of people that collectively is a bunch of semen?!?! Just askin

on submarines 200 sailors leave port and 100 couples come back.

Why do sailors use liquid soap...it takes longer to pick up.


An old Sailor and an old Marine were sitting at the VFW arguing about who'd had the tougher career.
"I did 30 years in the Corps," the Marine declared proudly, "and fought in three of my country's wars. Fresh out of boot camp, I hit the beach at Okinawa, clawed my way up the blood-soaked sand, and eventually took out an entire enemy machine gun nest with a single grenade. As a sergeant, I fought in Korea alongside General MacArthur. We pushed back the enemy inch by bloody inch, all the way up to the Chinese border, always under a barrage of artillery and small arms fire. Finally, as a Gunny Sergeant, I did three consecutive combat tours in Vietnam. We humped through the mud and razor grass for 14 hours a day, plagued by rain and mosquitoes, ducking under sniper fire all day, and mortar fire all night. In a firefight, we'd fire until our arms ached and our guns were empty, then we'd charge the enemy with bayonets!"

"Ah," said the Sailor with a dismissive wave of his hand, "lucky bastard! All shore duty, huh?"

[olevetonahill]

Army always made sure the Jarheads went in 1st
We needed some one to fill all those ****in sand bags :P

[Frank905]

The Marine Corps is in the Department of the Navy...........The Mens Department! Semper Fi, Devil Dogs!

[sappstuf]

The grizzled, old Master Chief was in a heated argument with the Marine Major when, abruptly the Major, in a fit of pique, said, "You Chiefs are becoming more arrogant every day, you just don't seem to know your place, just who do you think you are?"

The Master Chief mustering all his composure, calmly spoke, "Sir, all I know is that when the President of these here United States walks into a room, they don't play "Hail to the Major".

Does the thought of a bunch of Seamen make you smile?

[Cornfed]

And the president's own (the Marine Corps Band) is who's playing the tune.

[Cornfed]

remebered a few good ones...


Why are Navy kids so cute?
Because their dads are Marines.



This Marine was using the head. A Sailor walks in as the Marine is leaving. The Sailor says to the Marine "in the Navy we were taught to wash our hands after using the head". The Marine chuckles and says to the Sailor " in the Corps we were taught not to **** on our hands".



"A Marine walks into a Beaufort SC bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.

He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman looks at his wrist and remarks, "That's some watch.

I've never seen anything like it before. What is it?"

"I just got this," he replies. "It's a new military issue. It has a small computer chip which has threat detection and situational awareness."

The intrigued woman asks, "What's so special about it?"

The Marine explains, "It can detect any threats within a 50 yard radius and gives me an awareness of my surroundings.

The woman asks, "What's it telling you now?"

"Well, according to what it says, you're not wearing any panties...."

The woman giggles and replies, "Well, it must be broken because I am wearing panties!"

The Marine taps the face of his watch several times and says, "Aw, hell, the damn thing's an hour fast.""

Because the Navy would have to give them a ride.

Don't you have people you need to be shakin down for insider info????

Are you attempting Marine Corps Band smack talk?? ;) Those guys don't even go to Boot Camp and start at the rank of Staff Sergeant...



It seems that after WW I, the war to end all wars, the US Govt. had a lot of surplus material that they had no use for. What to do with it was a problem, and it was finally decided to hold an auction and sell everything off.

The day of the auction came, and progressed smoothly throughout the day. At the end of the day, everything had been sold off except the Marines and an old jackass.

Not wanting anything left over, the govt. decided to flip a coin between the Army and Navy, the winner getting their choice of the two left over items.

The Army won the toss, and the rest is history.

New Enlistment oaths.

U.S. COAST GUARD ENLISTMENT OATH
"I, (State your name), swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD because I know being in the real military scares me. However, I swear to defend our position as the fifth branch of the Armed Services, although at one point we were under the Department of Homeland Security. I understand that atleast twice a day, someone will refer to me a member of the Air Force or Navy, and when I correct them, they will question my military status. I will work on boats the size of kayaks and small yachts during the worst of natures storms, and recieve no thanks or notice form the public. I will fly in helos into the eye of the storm to rescue people dumber then rocks, and then be heckled by the same people when I bust them for transporting drugs two months later.! I will prevent thousands of gallons of pollution, but be accused of impeding the economy when I won't allow vessels to pour oil into the ocean. I will be the red-headed step child to all of the other services, although I know I got the better deal. All of my equipment will be discarded Navy property. I will use most of my time in the Coast Guard to take college classes, and perfect my web surfing abilities, then complain that I work too much. I will perfect avoiding PT at all costs, and do my best to attend training that will give me a great competitive edge in the career field of my choice, making retention efforts of the Coast Guard pointless. I will come in contact with so many pollutants during my tenure, I will glow in the dark for the rest of my natural life and refer to myself as "salty" because of it. I will do my best to work 8 to 3, with a two hour lunch, on normal days, and have my pager and cell phone surgically attached, SO HELP ME GOD.

US AIR FORCE OATH OF ENLISTMENT
"I, (State your name), swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE because I know I couldn't hack it in the Army, because the Marines frighten me, and because I am afraid of water over waist-deep. I swear to sit behind a desk. I also swear not to do any form of real exercise, but promise to defend our bike-riding test as a valid form of exercise. I promise to walk around calling everyone by their first name because I find it amusing to annoy the other services. I will have a better quality of life than those around me and will, at all times, be sure to make them aware of that fact. After completion of "Basic Training", I will be a lean, mean, donut-eating, Lazy-Boy sitting, civilian-wearing-blue-clothes, Chair-borne Ranger. I will believe I am superior to all others and will make an effort to clean the knife before stabbing the next person in the back. I will annoy those around me, and will go home early every day. So Help Me God!"

US ARMY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
"I, (State your name), swear to sign away 4 years of my otherwise mediocre life to the UNITED STATES ARMY because I couldn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Air Force, I'm not tough enough for the Marines, and the Navy won't take me because I can't swim. I will wear camouflage every day and tuck my trousers into my boots because I can't figure out how to use blousing straps. I promise to wear my uniform 24 hours a day even when I have a date. I will continue to tell myself that I am a fierce killing machine because my Drill Sergeant told me I am, despite the fact that the only action I will see is a court-martial for sexual harassment. I acknowledge the fact that I will make E-8 in my first year of service, and vow to maintain that it is because I scored perfect on my PT test. After completion of my Sexual.....er.....I mean "Basic Training," I will attend a different Army school every other month and return knowing less than I did when I left. On my first trip home after Boot Camp, I will walk around like I am cool and propose to my 9th grade sweetheart. I will make my wife stay home because if I let her out she might leave me for a better-looking Air Force guy. Should she leave me twelve times, I will continue to take her back. While at work I will maintain a look of knowledge while getting absolutely nothing accomplished. I will arrive to work every day at 1000 hrs because of morning PT and leave everyday at 1300 to report back to "COMPANY." I understand that I will undergo no training whatsoever that will help me get a job up! on separation, and will end up working construction with my friends from high school. I will brag to everyone about the Army giving me $30,000 for college, but will be unable to use it because I can't pass a placement exam. So Help Me God!"

US NAVY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
"I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES NAVY, because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought the Air Force was too "corporate," because I didn't want to actually live in dirt like the Army, and because I thought, "Hey, I like to swim...why not?" I promise to wear clothes that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor Man during summer,! and for Nazi Waffen SS during the winter. I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English-speaking world, using words like "deck, bulkhead, cover, geedunk, scuttlebutt, scuttle and head," when I really mean "floor, wall, hat, candy, water fountain, hole in wall and toilet." I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, rank, and insignia, and everything else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will muster, whatever that is, at 0700 every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up around 0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup-handling skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon, and still not spill a drop. I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice per fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal, whims of my newfound "colleagues." So Help Me Neptune!"

Two Marines boarded a quick shuttle flight out of Dallas, headed for San Diego. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a Sailor got on and took the aisle seat next to the two Marines.

The Sailor kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Marine in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a coke."

"No problem," said the Sailor, "I'll get it for you."

While he was gone, the Marine picked up the Sailor's shoe and spit in it. When the Sailor returned with the coke, the Marine in the middle seat said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too."

Again, the Sailor obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Marine picked up the soldier's other shoe and spit in it. The Sailor returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the rest of the short flight to San Diego.

As the plane was landing, the Sailor slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

"How long must this go on?" the Sailor asked.

"This fighting between our services? This hatred? This animosity? The spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

The Marines played Div 1 CFB for one season, 1965. Other than that they were a non D1 squad for about 50 years, they stopped playing sometime in the 1970's I believe. From about 1920 to 1940 they were quite successful and popular.
