Simple question for the Marines here. First off, I am NOT a Marine--just to be clear up front. I happen to be in the Navy and feel a strong sense of comraderie for all the Marines I work with and work for me (I happen to command a Joint unit).

I think everyone recognizes the phrase "Semper Fi". For what it is worth, I do underatand its relevance...so here is the question.

How do you, as a Marine, feel about someone NOT a Marine saying Semper Fi to you?

Of note, NOT sarcastically.

Just wondering...
