The USMC just got their first "C"

OK, on first blush I thought this must have been a typo saying the US Marines just took delivery of a "C" model. I was not aware that the C for the USMC was this far along. I thought the B was to be the main push by the USMC for years to come, and C only much later. I realize that this pre-dates squadron service by many years, but still caught me by surprise. Article indicates it is the first of 80 for the USMC.

USMC receives first F-35C - 12/23/2014 - Flight Global

Also notes first 2 Aussie deliveries- to Luke AFB for training.
