SEMPER FI!
New Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff is first Marine to hold the post.
General Peter Pace, USMC, is the first Marine to reach this high post.
Congrats to General Pace, but why does CNN have “Hooah!” in the title of their article? That’s an army thing. The Marine equivalent is “Ooh-Rah.” It also pisses me off when they refer to Marines as soldiers. Damn media.
More info here if anyone cares.
Long overdue. Sounds like a good guy, too.
What is the proper term?
Marines ~ Marines
Aviation Subset ~ Aviators
Army ~ Soldiers
Aviation Subset ~ Pilots
Navy ~ Sailors
Aviation Subset ~ Aviators
Air Force ~ Airmen
Aviator Subset ~ Pilots
