Yeah, I knew that since I was an active duty Marine from 2000-2004. Did you know that the Marine Corps was originally created to be more of a police-unit to keep the order on navy vessels?
The Marines have been dispatched all over, but probably one of their most interesting missions was to protect trains in the early 1900s from mail bandits.

Actually, the Marines used to take orders from the CNO but they now have their own Commadant that answers to the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of the Navy. The Commandant is no longer in direct orders from the CNO unless he happens to be the Chairman of the JCS but at this time, it happens to be a Marine general. In 1952, Congress gave the Commadant equal status on the JCS.

You must hang out with a lot of stupid people if you've won a lot of bets with this question. By the way, they're a part of the Department of the Navy, not under the Department of the Navy and the United States Marine Corps is the finest military force in the world.
