Happy Birthday, Marines!

With all due respect to my Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard friends, you all know that I have a soft spot for the Marines. So Happy Birthday, dear Marines!

I knew it wasn’t today, but as I am famous (or infamous) for forgetting birthdays, I figured better early than never.
I’ve been trying to collect the pejoratives that the various service branches lovingly cast at one another: can you all help me out?
Thus far I have:
Navy: Squiddies
Airforce: Chairforce
Marines: Muscles are Required, Intelligence Not Essential!
Army: Mud pounders, grunts
Any more?
Book’s just following sage old military wisdom to get there first, with the mostest.
Air Force: bus drivers
Ms. Bookworm,
I was wondering if that was it was something along the same kind of lines as your *timely* postings of the Watcher’s Council awards.
Danny,
Marines are fondly known as Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children and are most commonly used in those times when it absolutely, positively must be destroyed overnight.
