Soldado da Marinha was a soldier in other words a Marine ( like in the US) 
in Portugal a Marine was known as a Fuzileiro that was assigned to ships 
this continued to the time of the wars in Africa that Portugal was involved 
and I have a handful of friends that were Fulizeiros that's the name they 
like to be called and served in missions in the wars of Africa.
