USN or RN, Royal Marines or USMC ??

Not that it matters but it reminds me of the story of when the RN, the Booties and the Army had barracks in Chatham Kent.

Taditionally the Redcaps & Regulating Branch of the Navy would go round in joint patrols for tradition had it that :-

On Fridays the Marines and Army would gang up against the Navy
On Saturdays the Matelots and Army would gang up against the booties
and to round the week off on Sunday, the Navy and the Marines would gang up on the squaddies (Army)

Ah happy days - funny enough my brother recently had 3 months a relief manager of a bar in Union Street, Plymouth, things havent changed.
