Probably around elementary because I was/am obsessed with my grandfathers military history, and he was a Marine.
Oh, and the Marines use Navy Hospital Corpsmen, or they did the last time I checked. Rude awakening to some Navy types if they don't read up before signing on the dotted line.

They still do. My friend joined the Navy as a Corpsmen specifically to be embedded with the Marines. Spent two years with them over in Iraq. They're also highly respected/revered, considering they're going to be the ones saving your ass if anything goes wrong.

Folks considering joining should also read up on the alligator navy. Where they get close enough to shore to get shot at and get their ships stuck, while getting shot at.

Elaine: George I was just reading this thing in the papers, it's amazing!
George: I know I was just telling them the story.
Kramer: Come on George, finish the story.
George: The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli!
(Jerry gives Kramer a "what the h-" glance)
George: I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
Jerry: Mammal.
George: Whatever.
Kramer: Well, what did you do next?
George: Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a quark and I found myself on top of him face to face with the low-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction!
(George pulls out of the inside pocket a golf ball)
(Jerry and George just stare at Kramer)
Kramer: What is that a Titleist? A hole in one eh.
Jerry: Well the crowd most have gone wild!
George: Oh yes they did Jerry they were all over me. It was like Rocky 1. Diane came up to me, threw her arms around me, and kissed me. We both had tears streaming down our faces. I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment I decided to tell her I was not a marine biologist!
Jerry: Wow! What'd she say?
George: She told me to "Go to hell!" and I took the bus home.
Jerry: All right lets go.
George: I know I was just telling them the story.
Kramer: Come on George, finish the story.

In 1876, a young girl named Jenn was walking down a river, an insane man killed her by stabbing her in the back, raping her, and then hanging her in his closet. While he hanged her he said Bukakke Bukkake.

If I ever called my BIL a squid he would beat my ass. He hates the Navy after being stationed in Pensacola with them (well, I think all marines hate the navy, but anywho). I find it humorous that he's on the USS Battaan right now surrounded by 1000 sailors
He however sees no humor in this
There's a running joke.
Sailor: You guys think you're better than us? Please... the Marines under the department of the Navy.
Marine: Yea, the men's department.
