Wow, that looks just liked my decease mother-in-law refrigerator and guys it is still working after 40 plus years.

Blame that, at least in part, on Energy Star efficiency ratings and requirements. To get higher efficiency ratings equipment is designed less conservatively. Parts are made smaller. Motors are designed at closer to peak load, so they continually operate near their maximum rate instead of at 75% of load. Etc.

When you start shaving designs, things fail more frequently and catastrophically.

Actually the Marine Corps is Senior to the Navy. It was formed by Act of the Continental Congress on November 10, 1775. While a temporary Navy was established on October 13, 1775 it was later disbanded. The Navy was not reestablished until 10 years later. The Marine Corps had no such break in continuous service.

If you look at the arrangement of Colors it is Army Flag, Marine Corps Flag, Navy Flag, Air Force Flag. While the Marine Corps is part of Naval Department and subject to the Secretary of the Navy it is not part of the Navy subject to the the 4 Star Admiral that is the Head of the Navy. The Commandant of the Marine Corps is a 4 Star General and a Co-equal Member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

That is because the Air Force was smart enough to build the ancillary parts of the Base first and then go back to Congress and say we need more money to build the Runways and Hangers.
