The globe represents continued historic service in all parts of the world and the anchor honors the Marine Corps' naval heritage. A ribbon with the Latin motto "Semper Fidelis" (Always faithful) is attached to the eagle's beak. There are some differences between the uniform adornments of marines and officers.

The Navy SEAL insignia is officially called the Special Warfare insignia and is also known as "SEAL Trident" or "The Budweiser". Created in the 1960s, it recognizes service members who have completed Navy SEAL/Basic Underwater Demolition Demolition (BUD/S) training, completed SEAL qualification training, and served in the US military. They have been designated Navy SEALs. The Special Warfare insignia was originally issued in two classes, gold insignia for officers and silver insignia for soldiers.

To the Marines here commenting on SEALs, please have the respect to spell correctly. Would you spell like a marine? Negative. Those aren't SEALs, they're SEALs.

Are you actually comparing bud/sto recruitment training to our pogs? You flatter me. How about we compare our role as infantry to that of seals and give readers useful information instead of this rubbish?

(Video) US Navy vs US Marines - What's The Difference & How Do They Compare? - Army / Military ComparisonThere are five branches of the military, most people don't realize that the Coast Guard is separate from the Department of Defense and its flag flies in front of the Air Force in times of war. But it's unfair to compare the Marine Corps as a whole to Navy Seals, even though most SEALs are recruited into the Marine Corps (not all). And that article states that Marines are strictly ground troops when engaged in air, land, and sea combat. If they wanted a real comparison, they should have compared Navy Seals to Force Recon or MARSOC Marines. Force Recon actually trained Robben until MARSOC removed them from Special Forces, so he became a regular Recon for the Marines.
