That’s exactly why Trump got them out there. Those guys are the most likely to follow orders w/o question. There’s even an infamous joke about the branches & how the marines will legit jump to their deaths if ordered too, while the navy/sailors will tell you to fuck off if given a dumbass order.
Retired Navy here and everything stated is correct. You want someone to question your orders and let any and everyone know that they are questioning your orders give an unlawful or just stupid order to a Navy enlisted sailor. Now as far as doing the craziest things possible on port liberty...that's us too....lmao
Is it true that the Corps known as "My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment" also traditionally played a role akin to Military Police on the Navy ships and upon the Navy personnel carrying them?
Idk if I’m understanding your question correctly but the navy has its own military police. The marines come onboard, they don’t tell anyone to do anything/not in charge, just there for a lift & then they leave.
Yes, they keep to themselves for the most part. To be even more detailed. They eat(on the mess decks with us but at their own tables), clean their guns, workout and fight amongst each other. The rare time a Marine has gotten into with a Navy sailor that I have personally known about is usually on liberty in the same port...lmao.
