There is a world of difference as far as training and how things are run. The Marines are more specialized for combat. All Marines regardless of occupation receive infantry training. If you want an exact answer, you should call a recruiter. They could probably give you an awesome answer to this question.
Taken from Yahoo Answers:
The Army has a very different function than the Marines, and a wider mission during wartime. The first difference is between the missions of the respective forces. The Marines are a relatively small branch of the Navy. Their mission is primarily to conduct initial combat operations and establish a small foothold from which they can operate until larger forces arrive. The Army's mission is much bigger. Along with establishing a foothold, they also expand the foothold into entire theaters of operations. The Marines and the Army fight battles.
