If you are a beginner, I recommend studying just the required liaisons and maybe the forbidden liaison sections, as these are the essentials. 1  If you're more advanced, study all three sections. It may be boring, but your pronunciation and ability to communicate at different levels of formality will improve dramatically.
The United States Navy claims 13 October 1775 as the date of its official establishment, when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution creating the Continental Navy. With the end of the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Navy was disbanded.
With the raising of two battalions by the Continental Congress, the United States Marine Corps came into existence on November 10th, 1775. Throughout its long history, the USMC has distinguished itself in part with distinct uniforms. The earliest Marine Corps uniforms were made from green broadcloth. Some accounts argue that green was used because Marines were rifleman, a practice used in European armies. However, the Marines of the late 1700's were not rifleman, but musketeers.
