Corpsman has a Marine Corps emblem that has the eagle globe and anchor but the anchor is not a fouled anchor The original emblem has a fouled anchor When was this collar emblem was authorized?
In my time in the Marine Corps, I have never seen a Navy Corpsman wearing anything resembling a Marine Corps emblem (Eagle, Globe, and Achor). Navy Corpsman do however wear a Hospital Corpsman emblem on their left collar and their rank insignia on the right side collar. The Hospital Corpsman emblem looks like a shield with the medical symbol of 2 snakes wrapped around a staff or rod with wings. They are allowed to wear Marine Corps Uniforms, but are not allowed to wear any Marine Corps insignia; they must instead wear insignia identifying them as being Navy personal. When wearing the Marine cammies, they do not have the EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) on the cover (hat) or left side breast pocket. They also have US Navy on the left name tape, instead of US Marine. They are however expected to maintain Marine Corps standards when in a Marine Uniform. All of this is explained in MCO P1020.34F. Add: I'm sitting here looking at my husband's (A Navy Corpsman) cover and there is, in face, an EGA on the front of the cover. ADD The corpsman never use to wear it till recently when they began using the marine core marpat uniform if they were a field corpsman which has an eagle globe and anchor on the pocket and cover. Though they are not marines they still wear it since they serve with the marines.

What marines are?
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States armed forces responsible for providing force projection from the sea, using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. It is one of seven uniformed services of the U.S.. Administratively, the Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy, but it acts operationally as a separate branch of the military, often working closely with US Naval forces for training, transportation, and logistic purposes. Originally organized as the Continental Marines on November 10, 1775 as naval infantry, the Marine Corps has evolved in its mission with changing military doctrine and American foreign policy. The Marine Corps has served in every American armed conflict and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practice of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II. By the mid 20th century, the Marine Corps had become the dominant theorist and practitioner of amphibious warfare. Its ability to respond rapidly to regional crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy. The United States Marine Corps, with 194,000 active duty and 40,000 reserve Marines, is the smallest of the United States' armed forces in the Department of Defense (the United States Coast Guard is smaller, about one fifth the size of the Marine Corps, but serves under Homeland Security). The Corps is nonetheless larger than the entire armed forces of many significant military powers; for example, it is larger than the active duty Israel Defense Forces or the whole of the British Army.

Why was the Marine Corps created?
The United States Marine Corps is a direct descendant of the British Royal Marines. When the 2nd Continental Congress drew up plans for a Navy, it also established a Continental Marine Corps. On November 10, 1775 Congress passed the following resolution. "Resolved that two battalions of Marines be raised, and that particular care be taken, that no person be appointed to office, or enlisted into said Battalions, but such are good seaman, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advantage by sea, when required.....that they be enlisted and commissioned for the present war between Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by Congress. That they be distinguished by the names of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of American Marines. Thereby, on 10 November 1775 the Marine Corps was established, this is the date Marines now refer to as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps. Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is recognized as the birthplace of the Marine Corps. It was established as the recruiting Headquarters of the newly formed Marine Corps. As these new recruits were to form the Corps each man had to bring his own rifle with him in order to enlist.
