specifically right now/recently. what are the recruitment paths, who do they draw? has it changed much? how different is the officers’ disposition from the enlisted?

im reading about the Grande Armeé rn so naturally im curious about existing systems

    US marine officers go through navy training, whether the Naval Academy, navy ROTC, or navy OCS. So, both navy and marine officers are trained yelled at by both navy chiefs and marine gunnery sergeants. They do tend to be less weird about the aristocratic shit compared to navy officers, and most of the marine officers seem to only really eat in the wardroom on ships because they’re not allowed to eat elsewhere.
