Oh no... Not another marine on the boards. Harassing one was enough. :P

Congrats, Bret. I'm leaving for navy boot in April. ;)

Welcome to the family.  Parris Islander here, too.  I had all of my promotions put on with a friendly pat to the collar bone and no backing on the chevrons.  The blood stripes were the worst! ;)

Do they still pin those stripes on with a fist?


I remember the first time I got promoted; the commander pinned the rank on my collar, and then suprised me when he hit the rank insignia with his fist. After we were dismissed from formation, I pulled them out of my skin, leaving little blood spots on my tshirt...lol ;D


But then the army switched to velcro... ::)
