They may both be under the Secretary of the Navy but the Marines are certainly not part of the Navy.The Marines are administratively part of the Navy and have been for most of their existence (which is true of most, if not all military organizations labeled "marines"). Their officers go to Annapolis and NROTC programs, and the Marines originally existed to provide infantry for U.S. Navy warships.

EvanBirchfield Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Lol I wasn't trying to create a big argument, just was bored and thought it'd be neat to include more then 3 teams in the Commander in Chief trophy contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wgeddes122 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 To clarify everything there are 6 Division 1 schools that are Senior Military Colleges. the three academies (Navy, Army, Air Force), the Citadel, VMI, and Texas A&M.Every body else is D II or D III. the Marines are part of the navy they go through naval training/ navy rotc until they commission and or enlist in the marines, they do not have seperate sports teams.Yes, Texas A&M is a senior military college and commissions more people into the military outside of the academies, and boasts a 2500 Corps of Cadets which I happen to be a part of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wgeddes122 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 and also VMI, the Citadel, and Texas A&M do everything that the academies do, the only exception is that Texas A&M cadets interact with 48,000 other students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Blue Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The Quantico Marines used to play a collegiate football schedule as did some of the Naval Air Stations and training centers.

Bad Aggy! *slaps with rolled up newspaper*EDIT-FYI, Senior Military Colleges are not on the level of service academies and you forgot Virginia Tech in your Division I litany.and also VMI, the Citadel, and Texas A&M do everything that the academies do, the only exception is that Texas A&M cadets interact with terrorize 48,000 other studentsFixed that for you.

Davidellias Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 there's also the US Merchant Marine academy, although I think that's more or less a Governmental College rather then a Military School.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Merchant_Marine_Academy#Athletics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
