Why did the marines separate from the navy?

They didn't. The two forces both operate under the Department of the Navy and have a close relationship. Marine forces often provide security on Navy ships, and many Navy ships have Marine units stationed on them (including an air wing) on a semi-permanent basis. Certain "behind the scenes" jobs, such as chaplains or medics, are filled in the Marine Corps ranks by Navy personnel because the Marines don't train those positions. These personnel wear Marine uniforms with Navy insignias. Marine officers are trained at the Naval Academy, and Navy officer training includes some training by a Marine Corps drill instructor.


What is the difference between the Marines and the Marine Corps?

What do you get a navy cross ribbon for?

Navy Cross is the Navy's equivalent to the Army's Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. It is usually only awarded to Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard personel, but can be awarded to any member of the US Military. It is the second highest award for valor a serviceman can receive. Essentially its a step down from the Congressional Medal of Honor. Note: Not really a big deal, but it is referred to as a medal, not a ribbon.
