Easy call for the Navy: they teach us how to surface through burning oil. Or how to use your pants as a flotation device.

Culture. The Marine Corps make Marines. They instill esprit de Corps. The traditions, history and exploits are taught again and again. The first job of basic training or OCS is to make Marines that think like Marines, act like Marines and have a common outlook on being a Marine. Not just for your tour but for life.

Inflating your pants as a floatation device is part of Army water survival and drown proofing

I had to do it just last year. The official name is Combat Water Survival Training and everyone has to do it from what I've seen.

Floating pants was taught in swimming lessons at age 9 in the Air Force dependent community.

military decision making process MDMP. The Marines have a slightly different process (one less step). the Navy didn't have one until 2006 (OPP), to my knowledge the USAF still doesn't.
