Not sure why. Couple reasons, I guess.
1- It's a "job" that's sorely lacking in the Joeverse. You'd think a unit like the Joes that are constantly in enemy territory, would need a couple of people trained like the PJs. They got plenty of "get in and get out" kind of guys, but it would make more sense for the Joes to have medics that can fight as well as fix.
2- "So Others May Live" gotta love it. The motto just says it all.
One grandfather was a SeaBee, the other a Marine. The SeaBee, you'd barely know he was in the service. Never talks about it, never mentions it. The Marine, he's a Marine thru and thru. Bumper sticker on his car says "Not as mean, not as lean, but still a marine." Flies the Marine flag (as well as the american and POW/MIA) at his home. Can't walk thru a room without some symbol or memento of his time in the service (was in Guam in WW2). When he dies, he's not getting buried at the family plot, he's at the veteran's cemetary.
One of my friends was a Marine, at my wedding, he purposely sought out my grandfather and the two of them spent like an hour just talking.
I've known people in all the different branches, but retired Marines seem to carry it more so then others. Does that make sense?
My biggest regret is not joining the service (any branch).
PJs just seem like a natural fit for the Joes. Moreso then some of the other "jobs" that they have.
