I mean I always hear that Marines are supposed to be superior and that they have more intense training, but when it comes down to combat and fighting in the battlefield, what do they really have over the Army? I know many Marines get very testy when I talk about this, but I want to know if there is more to Marines than just training and boot camp that makes them superior to the Army. I am not trying to knock either side, I am just trying to understand.
Also, where did the "Semprify" come from?
I realize this is a car forum and all, but I don't really know of any armed forces forums on the internet and they would probably not take my questions seriously. But if nothing else, at least I am showing interest in our country's armed forces and what they do.

marine corps basic training is a little more intense than army boot camp. the marines learn a different style of martial arts (MCMAP: Marine Corps Martial Arts Program). Marines also qualify with their rifles out to 500 yards where the army only qualifies out to 300 yards. every marine is a rifleman.
Semper Fi is short for Semper Fidelis, which is latin for "always faithful"
I dont know much about the combat ratings, but I do know that everyone gets the bare minimum and after that you have to go to school for advancement.
