they still get hand me downs from the army, certain vehicles, etc...I don't mind 'sharing' our Army shit with the Marines, but why is it the Marines need to come to the Army to get their shit? What is the problem with the Marine budget? By the way, Army units stole from other Army units also...
shit i see M16s all the time still on MCAGCC, 5ton vehicles, granted I also see the M27 IAR which is a USMC only SAW like weapon.
longer bootcamp, longer range for Table 1 for qualifying, longer PT run, etc...everything in the marines is designed to embrace the suck IMO (i grew up my entire childhood in USMC base housing for hte most part), which is part of why they tend to be the most combat effective in squad operations.
