Semper Fi, Mac!
And they sent that recruit next door to the Navy basic training to become a sailor.So on the first day of basic training in the marines, a drill instructor has new recruits lined up and is dressing them down.
He tells them “You aren’t men, you’re maggots!... you’re not even maggots! You’re a mite sucking a maggots dick! But in 6 weeks those of you who don’t quit are going to be able to do this...”
He reaches down into a big box next to him and pulls out a snapping turtle. Then he reaches into his pants and pulls out his penis, which the snapping turtle immediately bites. He lets go of the turtle and lets it hang from his penis and lets out a victory cry “HOORAH!!” After which he pinches the turtles eyes, it releases its hold, and he puts it back into its box.
He looks at the recruits and asks “any of you want to try THAT?” A recruit from the front speaks up and says “SIR, yes sir!! But please don’t pinch my eyes”
Its all good. I just experienced good-natured ribbing. The old corps and navy of my grandfather's time (WWII) that wasn't always the case.I have no animosity towards the US Marine Corp. During my time in the US Navy, no one ever stole any of the gates the marines were guarding.

I was involved in a few fights while in my A School in the Navy. There were a lot of marines there for schools as well.
But what I loved was the way the Navy and Marine corp were quick to pick on each other, but god help the Air Force or Army boys who tried it.
I saw that same phenomenon myself. Every Friday night, around 2300 at the Enlisted Club, there would always be a group of Marines and Sailors fighting with each other at the Meridian MS "A" schools.
HOWEVER...........................
I also remember one time at a bar in town called Judge Roy Bean's that a bunch of townies were giving some Marines a hard time. Me and a couple of my friends (all of us Sailors) went up to the civilians and told them to back off or step outside, as they were hassling our brothers. They opted to take it outside, so us and the Marines happily obliged them and treated them to a serious ass kicking. Good Times!
I was in Meridian for SK A school. Loved it. Met my first wife there. But yeah, the E-Club could get rowdy on the weekend, or on payday.
I went there for PN A school back in October of 1982. When were you there? 2 places I recall out in town (one fondly, one not so much) were Judge Roy Bean's (fondly) and Pott's Place (not so much).
Oh yeah, I also recall the movie theater where you could buy an all day pass on the weekend and see 3 or 4 movies in a day.
