Why does a diver need a buoyancy control device?

A diver needs a bcd to control where he is at in the water column. If a diver was to go in the water without one they would be relying only the buoyancy of there own body and the tanks which would make them negatively buoyant and that would take a lot of work to move around and stay off the bottom. With the bcd you can make it so that you can float effortlessly in the water where you want and move back and forth and side to side with just the flick of your hands or fins. experience: U.S. Army Deep Sea Diver

Does the Navy go into battle before the Marines?

It depends on the mission requirements - either Marine Force Recon units or Navy SEAL Teams can be sent ahead into enemy territory in advance of any main attack force. For amphibious operations, the beach landing and other assault zones are typically prepared by Naval and Marine Corps fighter/bomber / Helo attacks and missiles to clear out any "problem" areas prior to ground forces in numbers being introduced along with armored units.

Since the Navy and Marines are under the Department of the Navy, historically the lines of battle in certain areas have been blurred. However, when it comes to amphibious landings, Navy Coaxswains pilot landing craft with Marines if necessary, and Marine ground units take the offensive from there. In general, the Marines do have their own support forces, but the close cooperation between the two services essentially means that neither goes to battle without the other in some form when it is a combined strike operation. Even when the battle is strictly land based and the Marines got there by air transport, Marine medics are Navy Corpsman, so the Navy is present.

Can you wear a Navy Seal Trident on Marine Corps Dress Blues if you rate both?

If you originally enlisted in the Navy, passed the screen test, made it to BUD/s and passed. then you passed the SQT and got your SEAL trident, then re-enlisted in the marines...I'm sure you could still wear your trident since the Marines are a department of the Navy. But some Marines might think of it as disrespectful since Marines don't look for recognition of their hard work, and if you have a SEAL trident on, your basically broadcasting you're a badass. not too humble there. Was in the teams from 1969 to 1980. We did have a guy that had been in the Marine corp, served in Vietnam and then got out, joined the navy and became one of us. Later he got his college degree and became an officer in the teams. If he sees this, I hope that he knows that Beaver Grant was always proud of him, even though I kicked him that one time. This is the only case of this kind that I could imagine.
