US Marine Corps

The Marine Corps have the toughest boot camp in the entire world...they are the nations finest warriors - this branch is the most physically demanding out of all other branches because you have to run 3 miles in 28 minutes - plus they are the only branch that requires you do dead hang pull ups (unless you're a chick in which you do something similar) but also you must do about 55 sit ups in 2 minutes and 5 dead hang pull ups...the whole mentality of the Marine Corps is toughness, the Crucible which is the 'final exam' if you will, of boot camp is tougher than anything any other boot camp has to endure (you should look up the USMC crucible it's really interesting)...Marines need to be hardcore because they are the tip of the spear, so to speak, the first one to go on, kickin down the door if you will...unless of course you count like navy seals but you have to go to boot camp before you can become a seal, and marine corps boot camp is the best one to prepare you for seals or anything like that.

Marines are deployed several places around the world. Among them are Iraq and Afghanistan of course, also Camp LeJune, San Diego, Japan, and Korea.

Some are, but that is mostly just a stereotype. Gay marines are usually associated with the liberal left, and are normally big fans of Nancy Pelosi, Al Franken, Barney Frank (go figure), and Jeanine Garafolo.

But the majority of marines are decent, God-fearing, conservative American patriots.

I do makeup and hair in funeral homes on an as needed statis. They pay me $40.00 for each head of hair I do. I have not charged to do the makeup so I don't know that price. They pay quickly too. If you can take working on deceased people it's a great job, work as much as you want or pass it up.

SEAL team members are members of the US Navy with the same ranks and specialties.

This was true until very recently. They are all members of the US Navy. The enlisted members have ratings not ranks. Ranks are for officers. Enlisted SEALs now have the rate of Special Warfare Operator or SO. They used to have many different rates as did Divers and EOD technicians. The Navy has now made Diver, EOD Technician and SEAL a rate. Rating means what the Army calls rank. The navy has petty officers who are the enlisted men. Petty Officers are 3rd Class, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer and Master Chief Petty Officer. There are also Warrant Officers who are Special Warfare Specialists. The Officers are either Line or Limited duty Officers and are also Special Warfare Officers.

The United States Marine Corps is a direct descendant of the British Royal Marines. When the 2nd Continental Congress drew up plans for a Navy, it also established a Continental Marine Corps. On November 10, 1775 Congress passed the following resolution.

"Resolved that two battalions of Marines be raised, and that particular care be taken, that no person be appointed to office, or enlisted into said Battalions, but such are good seaman, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advantage by sea, when required.....that they be enlisted and commissioned for the present war between Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by Congress. That they be distinguished by the names of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of American Marines. Thereby, on 10 November 1775 the Marine Corps was established, this is the date Marines now refer to as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.

Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is recognized as the birthplace of the Marine Corps. It was established as the recruiting Headquarters of the newly formed Marine Corps. As these new recruits were to form the Corps each man had to bring his own rifle with him in order to enlist.

Pay grade goes by rank not MOS (Military Occupational Speciality). Rank is Private, pay grade is E-1; Sergeant is rank, E-5 is the pay grade, etc. For officers, O-1 is a 2nd Lieutenant...Major is O-4, etc. An E-4 Corporal infantryman will make the same money as an E-4 tank crewman. Those are the "base" pay salaries. Extra money comes in the way of additional pay: Parachute pay (jump pay); hazardous duty pay; demolitions pay; over seas pay; housing pay; dependents pay; re-enlistment bonuses; etc.

It varies, I waited 4 months.

No ... you must show proof of US residency, and pay taxes like the rest of us, hence the need for a SSN.

In truth it depends on if you are military or civilian.

If you are in the military going to a military ball, most will require you to come in your dress uniform. Some will allow you to wear a tux.

If you are civilian you should were a tux.

As a Marine, regardless of what you do, you typically get four days off for major holidays. The actual amount of free time varies from unit to unit.

You're really not likely to find much, if any difference as far as amount of training goes, but the Rangers and Special Forces are very different units, and each fills a very distinct and separate role than the other does. With each branch, their training will be related to their role - in the case of the Rangers, they are an elite infantry unit, and that will be their main focus. Special Forces does have an operational role, but they're geared more towards organising indigenous forces to support the US mission, and will train in areas such as linguistics and learning various customs of different areas where they'll be expected to operate.
