marines
Definition
Members of a marine corps, especially the United States Marine Corps (USMC), a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces specializing in expeditionary and amphibious warfare.
Soldiers trained for combined sea, air, and land operations, often romanticized as the toughest branch in popular culture.
Examples
The marines hit the beach at dawn, only to discover the enemy had already packed up for a beach volleyball tournament.
My cousin joined the marines thinking it'd be all glory and no paperwork, but now he's an expert in form 26-50.
Semper Fi means 'always faithful,' which explains why marines never admit defeat, even in a game of rock-paper-scissors.
The marines' PT test is brutal, but nothing preps you for explaining to your squad why you ate the last MRE's mystery meat.
