why was i taught in Marine boot camp that Marine pilots are bettter than the navy and air force pilots?
why was i taught there was never an amphibious operation that failed? why were we taught that Marines took iwo jima, guadalcanal, etc when the army helped out ALOT? why Marines think they are better than everyone else? they call the navy their "ride" to a fight but the navy is much more then their ride. the navy is their medics, lawyers, dentists, naval missiles, etc
I served several years in the Air Force and then later worked as a contractor doing test and evaluation. I can assure you that no one branch's pilots are "better" than any other branches; they all are the very best this country has to offer.
Having said that, when I was doing test and evaluation, it always seemed the Marine pilots knew a lot more about their aircraft than the pilots from the other services and were all-around more professional in their approach to duty.
