1stSgt, speaking of different terms I remember while at OCS I refered to utilities as fatigues and I got my butt in a sling over that. My Plt Cmdr jumped all over me. Its like the difference btwn OH 500 and ZERO 500 as far as time goes. Semper Fi Randy

These little faux pas happen Randy. I remember a similar mistake of mine as a young Lance Corporal assigned to 2/7. I failed to saulte a Gunner one day when I mistook the black "Bursting Bomb" on his collar for chevrons. After an afternoon of misery, I never made the mistake again. For those not familiar with the rank, most warrant officers in the Marines are referred to as "Gunner" much as a Master Sergeant is called "Top" or a Gunnery Sergeant is referred to as "Gunny". However, there is an actual Warrant Officer designated as Gunner. They wear a normal WO bar on one collar and a matte black "Bursting bomb" insignia on the other. I only ever met 2 while I was in. I beleive it is reserved for a WO within a combat arms field. (Little help on the topic 1stSgt?) ------------------ USMCGrunt -When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight.

Sgt Jeremy Cheek Been in since '89 as a Grunt (0311) took a few months off in '95 and came back in as a TOW Tech (2171) and served time as an Armory Chief. Been at 8th&I, Camp David, CLNC, Gitmo, Oki, Somalia, Gitmo, MCLB Albany, CLNC, Gitmo(again), and Quantico. Currently the Security Chief for the Marine Corps Air/Ground Museum. RE: Marines throwing rocks. It goes like this, whenever we are stopped for more than 5 minutes somebody has to throw something. Marine throws a rock, gets no response, he throws another....Marine2 "cut it out", Marine throws rock again, Marine2 "I said quit!" Marine throws rock, Marine2 (at top of his lungs while grabbing a rock and going after 1st Marine) "I said CUT IT OUT DICKHEAD!" and then proceeds to whup first Marines butt. ------------------ Semper Fi!

Randy -> (1/26/2001 2:47:00 PM)

USMCGrunt, I've got another one. When I got to my first duty station (El Toro)(I was so indoctrinated about military courtesy) I saw a 1st Lt and being a brand new 2nd Lt gave him a real smart salute. He came up to me and said Lts don't salute each other and if I did it again he'd break my arm! He said "this is the real Marine Corps, not TBS". We later became friends, but I was scared ****less. This is fun to look back on though. Semper Fi Randy

Correct Grunt, Gunner is strictly reserved for Marines who possess the 0369 MOS(Infantry Platoon Sergeant) and then who apply for the Marine Gunner Program. It is also much to my chagrin one of the most abused terms in the Corps. Many Marines feel that any WO or CWO can be referred to as this. WRONG! Just like you don't call the 1stSgt or SgtMaj Top. Otherwise as I am sure you know you will have a significant emotional experience just like Grunt had with the "Gunner." ------------------ 1stSgt Semper Fi "Steel on Target" Company B 1st Tank Bn [This message has been edited by 1stSgt USMC (edited January 26, 2001).]

Most of what I'm talking about actually got out, (I should know. I talked to the media enough about these things.) but it was drowned out in the coverage of the actual war going on. But then again, some things never quite became public.

KG Erwin -> (2/3/2001 9:50:00 AM)

I was not a Marine, but I'll post this in honor of my friend and co-worker Sgt (E5)Richard Lipscomb, who served in the 1st Marines in Vietnam 1967-68. He was lucky enough to be discharged before Tet and when he was asked to re-up, he said no, because he KNEW some serious **** was going to come down. I respect him , and I talk to him on a daily basis at the office. He has no idea I'm talking about him, but I feel lucky to have him open up to me about some of the things he wouldn't even tell his wife, and it only deepens my respect for ALL of you guys. He knows of my interest in these things, and he's been very forthcoming. I don't think he'll ever be a part of these forums, but it gives me a perspective towards playing SPWaW that only makes me value the lives of my (virtual ) troops more. To some that may seem silly, but I hope you guys understand what I mean. PS I left out that Richard was a Sgt(E5) at discharge.
