Additionally,
Marine grunts undergo longer initial training (20 weeks w/ SOI), get paid less for doing the same jobs, can apply for embassy duty and do cold water training. (They used to do BSRF rotations in the Black Sea.)
Army grunts OSUT is shorter (16 weeks), have specialized courses leading to badges and skill tabs (EIB, Jungle Expert Pathfinder, etc), give out enlistment bonuses like candy (currently 40K?), allow you to enlist as an E4 with a degree or E3 with JROTC, and can apply for cemetery service at Arlington with the 3rd ID (Old Guard).
However, both groups can masterfully fart in the woods (or in a crowded elevator) without making a sound. And both groups have mastered the art of divorce and remarriage.
