SE4 and the Navy

[apache]

I do believe that there would have to be an entirely new branch of the armed services for space warfare. No earth based branch has any experince flying spaceships, not the Navy, Airforce, Army, or Marines. I think the new branch would be highly based on NASA requirements, except civilians would obviously not be allowed into some space warfare branch.
Thus, only the best and brightest with previous experience in flight and the military would be allowed into the new branch. Sure it probably would be called the Space Navy or something, with a Space Marines inside the organization, but they would not be simply Navy and Marine troops sent up to space.
