These records don't all go in the same zone file you know, yes?  The
NS and glue records go in the zone file for usmc.mil and the rest go
in the zone file for aa.usmc.mil.

You have to have it resolve to the address rather than the name
(i.e. use an A record not a CNAME record) but otherwise yes.  Be aware
that DNS has no knowledge of http, so the "http://" parts of what you
specified above are not relevant to DNS.
