Wot, we're not good enough for you? You should have waited until they were around then.

You're good I just figured they'd have a bit more of an insider's view than someone who lives in...oh, I don't know, IRELAND.
The United States Air Force ... who'd have thunk it?
Well clearly Google can throw you off sometimes

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

And the return position from the marines would be that the naval types are effeminate wankers who live in constant fear of getting a speck of dirt on their immaculate uniforms...
