3 marine jokes, offered in the brotherly tradition of interservice ribbing What is Marine an acronym for? Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential Why does the Army have german shepherds guarding its bases while the Navy has Marines? Army got first choice There was a base where members from all branches of service as well as civilians were posted. Therefore, any announcements including a specific time had to be made in such a way that all people could understand what time was meant. For example, an announcement might go something like this: Tonight's movie is "The Sound of Music" - showtime to follow for you civilians and Air Force personnel, it starts at 6pm for those of you in the Army, thats 1800 hours for you Navy and Coast Guard people, thats 4 bells and for you Marines, thats when the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 6 please feel free to respond in kind[:)]
