All the music in the piece is from the film score.

Sorry. No. The actor you're thinking of is Robert Urich. (not Ulrich) and has no relation to LCDR Ulrich. I once was fortunate to work with Bob. He was a great guy.

@Idrinkvault USMC Officer Candidates attend PLC, OCC, or OCS at Quantico, Virginia.

where do USMC Officers go for their training?

@cyberstriker140 Probably the best way to describe the USN/USMC relationship is that the USN and the USMC are each separate parts of the Dept of the Navy. Because Amphibious Operations are a joint responsibility, the USN & the USMC must operate together as if they were one service, even though each is actually a separate service. This is why USN instructors often train Marines, and vice-versa.
