The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy, but there are alot of differences. One for example is the ranks. Our ranks go from Pvt.-Sgt Maj. Theirs is Seaman- Cheif Petty officer. Also their officer ranks are different, OUr captain rank is their Lt. rank, our Col. rank is their Cpatain rank. Another difference is the Navy is mainly sea and somethimes air, and the Marine Corps can do things in the air, on land and sea. Also the Marine Corps is known for their first to fight. The Navy doesn't do that. The Marine Corps is also the Few, the Proud, the Marines. Semper FI!!
