Template talk:US Marine Corps

Replace & modify
As per this conversation, I have replaced the navbox in the form of an infobox this template used to be with Template:US Marine Corps navbox, and converted this template into a real infobox. I've kept the old template with noinclude tags only for reference.  bahamut0013 ♠  ♣  21:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

F/A-18
So how exactly is VMFA (Fighter-Attack) a fighter and VMFA(AW) (All-Weather Fighter-Attack) Attack? It's a shitty choice to have to delineate them Attack or Fighter for the template, but you might as well be consistent. --Mmx1 (talk) 03:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I know it's not that cut and dried, because the Hornet is a dual purpose aircraft. However, since we can't but both aircraft under both designations, I made the call. F/A-18Ds and the VMFA(AW) are far more specialized in the ground attack role than single seaters. I see no problem with splitting them between thier semi-"specializations", but I am loathe to lump them both into one designation and leave the other empty or almost empty. If you insist that they must be lumped into the same category, then I'd prefer attack, since the close air support mission of Marine aviation is a higher priority than the air superiority mission (the corps figures the Air Force and the Navy can handle that if we can't do both).  bahamut0013 ♠  ♣   17:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The template only includes unit awards, not campaign streamers. The full list can be found at Flag of the United States Marine Corps. It would not be wise to include all 54, because while a unit citation is a decoration, a campaign streamer is not. Even if the distinction was meaningless, that's still a lot of streamers to have in a little template.  bahamut0013  words deeds   08:56, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
