message: Why was the section on the EGA vs. Eagle, Globe, and Anchor removed?  I'm looking for something to cite that fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.246.231 (talk) 19:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are those who really object to its use, I suppose, as an unnecessary and unapproved acronym. There wasn't a reliable source for it, IIRC. I don't care for it, but in this day of texting replacing English I can sigh and accept it. Just as I can accept "Turkey, Ball, and Hook" and "Chicken, Ball, and Chain" in slang speech from a fellow jarhead, but I'll frown at those usages by non-Marines. htom (talk) 17:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  EGA vs. Eagle, Globe, and Anchor 

message: I've always heard the "Gimme that Anchor, Globe, and Eagle" jodie; yet this article is for the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. Does the difference signify something, or is it the ordering insignificant and left to the local culture? Fightin' Phillie (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think I've ever heard a jodie that went "Anchor, Globe, and Eagle", but there are surely many over the decades that I have not heard (I have vague memories of one with the refrain "so gimme the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor; it was good enough for ___, it's good enough for me!") Perhaps the one you're thinking of rhymes something with "eagle" and that's why it was rearranged? htom (talk) 20:09, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the one. I asked a friend (who's lineage includes more Marines than mine) and he said that Eagle, Globe, Anchor is the order he's always heard; perhaps I just misheard or misremembered. Fightin' Phillie (talk) 13:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

message: It's always been my understanding that the worst mess the captain of a naval vessel might face is fouled anchor cables, such as commonly resulted from dragging anchors during a 3 or 4 point moor in riding out severe a severe storm. Before a first officer was given command of a naval vessel, he had to demonstrate the skill required to un-foul multiple anchor cables. The U.S.M.C. Fouled Anchor attests to much the same skill, in both man and crew. The globe signifies that any mess, anywhere in the world falls within the perview of the U.S. Marine Corps.  No mess too big, no enemy too nasty and no place on the planet too far or remote that Marines will not go. I can't say that's straight from the burning bush, but I know that the tradition has been borne out a hundred times over in the history of the Corps. Shekohn (talk) 05:12, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
