US Marines: Drinking and Fighting Around the World!

OCEANSIDE, Calif. - March 10, 2017 - PRLog -- Ever since our birth in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia 1775 Marines have been no stranger to strong drink and a fight.  It was the rowdiest men, with the biggest balls, that signed up for a pint of beer and adventure.

Sailing the high seas during the 1700's took skill and a lot of courage.  The very first US Marines were required to have some familiarity with the sea.  Although they were not sailors they were still required to have basic knowledge in case the ship's crew was incapacitated or killed.

During 1775, ships nor their crew had any means of communication beyond the ship.  The ship and crews of that time period were isolated at sea.  This means that a mutinous crew could commandeer the ship if the course of events at sea did not wane to their favor.  Naval crews required a contigent of Marines on board to ensure good order and discipline while at sea.

This is not all they did.  During Naval battles Marines were often used in long-range combat above the ship's masts.  Marines were also used in the frontline's during boarding parties.  The signature leather stock on their necks prevented Marine's neck from enemy swords.  Also, the leather stock prevented the Marine from looking back in combat.  This is why Marines are known as Leathernecks today.

It took a special breed of man to become a Marine.  Many times the only place you could find them is at the local Tavern.  As St Patrick's Day draws near and glasses are raised high, we as Marines need to reflect on the first of us.  In Tun Tavern, Philadelphia 1775.
