My recent considertion of joining the Marines has me wondering...

I know we have alot of people in the armed services on here(Bloodsage, Azakias, UBT) but...what ranks/branches (If I recall correctly, BS is airforce and Azakias is Navy?) are all you guys?

There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive.

Never mention to a marine that they are part of the navy. That is my only warning.

So...Azakias is Marines? Either that or I'm missing something here.

This is going from memory here so I could very well be wrong and repective parties can correct my inevitable mistake but here goes...

Azakias is an E-3(4?) in the Navy.
Led is enlisted in the Air Force no idea what grade.
Bloodsage is a Major(Lt. Col.?) in the Air Force.
UBT recently retired from the Army.

Probably screwed most of them up but that is the general jist of it.

I heard there was some sort of blade instruction too. It's hearsay, though, so I could well be wrong.

Having known a lot of Marines in my life, let me tell you something neat.

Good stuff: You'll get laid all the time by uni-suckers, you'll have a good sense of pride knowing you helped your country out.

Bad stuff: You'll lose all sense of individuality and become a prick.

I am an E4 in the Navy. (been up for promotion twice but hasnt happened yet)

there are sabers. I believe you only get to have one once you make E7, which is cpndidered senior enlisted. (Yes, I do know the manuel of swords as well as the manuel of arms)

Could you fight with them if you wanted to or are they just made for decoration/display?

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Purely decorative. You dont even see them very often, except at very formal occasions.

I've been pinned-on about 2 years. This is my first look for promotion--we get two chances early (the odds are overall about 2%), one chance on time (the odds are about 50% overall), and one look late if you don't make it on time (the odds there are <1%). Not having been a unit commander pretty much shuts me out of early promotion, but I've got a better-than-average shot in the zone in '07.

I will try to answer any questions and will reply with better info after I have time to read the other post..

FYI.. The Marines are the only brand of service still allowed to use the enlisted and officer swords. (mainly for ceremonies and what not)
Officers and enlisted use different swords. Each with its own history.

They teach you fundamental martial arts in the marines and even have a graduated ranking system, but obviously this won't be used for much besides recreation and scuffles. No sabers, of course.
