Why does the US Navy and coast gaurd have a different ranking/name structure from the rest of the united states military?
I assume it has something to do with historical ranks in navies, but anyone have something more specific?

Hi everyone. I am a professional survival instructor and former fire/rescue helicopter crew member. My services have been sought by some of the most elite military teams in the world. I have consulted for tv and film, and my courses range from Alaska field training, to desert survival near Mexico, to Urban Disaster Readiness in Orange County, Ca. Ask me anything you want about wilderness survival- what gear is best, how to splint a leg, unorthodox resource procurement in urban areas, all that, I'm up for anything.

Why does the United Sates Marine Corp, even though technically part of the Navy, use a rank structure more similar to the Army than the Navy?
If this isn't the right place for this, feel free to redirect me. Why doesn't the USMC use a rank structure similar to the Navy? Admiral vs. General? Ensign vs. Lieutenant? Petty Officer vs. Sergeant?

"Before [white Europeans] colonized the United States the only permanent structures were tents and mounds of dirt."
As seen here.
I keep on seeing this particular mischaracterization of Native Americans. I think the fact that some tribes were semi-nomadic sort of grew into this idea that no NAs had any "real" dwellings (whatever that means).
To maintain this idea, you have to ignore, for instance, Iroquois longhouses in the Northeast, some of which are enormous and elaborately detailed. "Those aren't stone and so they aren't permanent," you cry!
How about any of the Great Houses of the Puebloans in the Southwest?
Even aside from the racism, the linked post is just factually incorrect in the most plain way imaginable.

The United States Continental Army was founded in June 1775, but the Navy wasn't founded until four months later in October, and the Marines a month after that in November. Why the delay? It seems like those organizations would all be part of the same conversation among the Founding Fathers?
