The United States Marine Corps dates back to November 10, 1775. Two battalions of Continental Marines came together at that time to make a fighting force capable of handling duties on land and at sea, essentially making them the best parts of both the Army and the Navy. Over the years, the government tried to merge them with both of those military branches and considered them offshoots of both of those branches before they managed to carve out their own niche and become a stable third branch of the military in their own right.
Today the Marines are world-renowned as one of the most impressive fighting forces in any military. If someone says they're a Marine, they get taken seriously. And just as with any branch of the Armed Forces when you're in the Marines, you not only have to learn to act like a Marine, you learn to talk like a Marine. From official terms to much more unofficial lingo, there's a whole vocabulary associated with being a Marine. Most of us will only know what we hear on TV and in movies, while those who live it should know everything in this quiz and then some. So let's see what you've got! Take the quiz!
