I have sworn for years that the Marines have the Best Marketing People in they world civilian or Military. Don't know if they do it in house or contract it out but it is incredible when a darn billboard makes you well up.
Marines have a 65+ year relationship with J. Walter Thompson ad agency. They figured out the magic a long time ago. "The few, the proud...the Marines."
Marines send top officers to USNA as battalion, company, instructor and staff officers. They know their mission and they do it well. Since Marines are a smaller force, they really pay attention to who they take. Not that Navy doesn't, it's just Marines have such a strong culture, they have to know someone will fit in from the get-go.
