We Marines have a few more names tooo...some are not printable for the Bible Board...lol...think at one time or another I have been called most....lol...love da Corps and always have enjoyed being poked fun at....OH YA!!! enjoy handing it back, all in fun. I think the Marines have a really close knit group, also Rangers, paratroopers, seals....I think those who have shared in combat or rigid combat training are a closer knit group than those in non-combat situation/training....but it takes them all to make the wheels go round and keep our country safe....I can't remember, but back in the Viet Nam era I think it was only 7% or 13% who actually saw combat, others were in support...however one may look at it----it takes them all doing their job to get the job done.....Now I am a rather simple person, so I can relate this to Christians and Paul's writings.....while a small % are actually on the front lines sharing the gospel, the others in the support of those is very important to the sharing of the gospel...not any one person, not any one God given gift makes things happen..."ALL" things work for the good of the Lord...like an automobile, engine is really important, but with out the tranny, it don't move and if it moves but there is no where to sit, steer, or wheels to roll on, then it is just a pile of metal sitting in the driveway.....I have always liked the term...."just because you stand in your garage that don't make you a car"---just because we attend Church does not make us a Christian......and now my hole has really gotten deep, not only dark down here but really quite, I gett'n scared----
