I am a former Army Tanker, but Marine and Army Tankers are trained at Ft Knox.
In AIT, '76 E-1-1 2nd Platoon was all Marines for Armor training, and Marine SSG's used to attend ANCOC there with their Army counterparts. I instructed ANCOC from 93 - 96, and one of our assigned instructors was a Marine Gunny.

I know I'm not a Marine, but in a sense, Tankers are Tankers.

I know all the training is the same in a sense and I don't mean any disrespect but in the end there is a difference between any Marine and soldier. Just from what I read there is a large difference between Army armor and Marine armor, primarily attitude and mental though.
