We use that term a lot too! Standing in formation we'd get smoking lamp is lit, everyone scrambles to find a smoke and get it lit and a couple puffs before smoking lamp is out again!

No, it took Congress less than a month to realize the "swabbies" needed protection and had the Continental Marines formed and assigned to the two ships that the Continental Navy had at the time...it only took until the 1990's for the Marine security details assigned to the Naval fleet to be permanently removed from Naval Ships.

P.S.Every person in uniform who takes up the gun to defend this country is my hero.
 
Marines are good for two things, Guarding gates and catching bullets and I have to admit they've done a hell of a job guarding gates. Not a single one has come up missing since their inception. Thankfully, they're not as adapt at the other thing.

I also call BS on the lighthouse thing.. That most certainly was not the USS Abraham Lincoln. It's a west coast ship, and I left it in 1993 :) Is a funny joke though.

We had a MarDet on the Lincoln for security. Most of em were pretty kewl guys, doing the job as they were trained. Out in town or on the beach they were fun to hang around with, because they always had a Napoleon complex. Short man syndrome or something. Lots of good fights, some won, some lost, but always for no real reason. Most of the Captain's Masts were for the MarDet guys. Reminded me of the typical redneck. Instant *******, just add alcohol :)
 
Best exchange ever....

Leatherneck -- SEALS are only good for 1 thing. Balancing balls on their noses...

SEAL -- Want me to demonstrate with one of yours...
