I was trying to keep an open mind as to YOUR "status" as a Marine
and your experience in matters of the Armed Forces...

Until this.

Gunnery Sergeant (and indeed pay grade E7 throughout the services
as a whole) is the MEDIAN retirement rank.

Also, Marines abbreviate "Gunnery Sergeant" as "GySgt"...Not
"Gy.Sgt"

My suspiscions as to you being a LenniePhantom and gleaning your
"knowledge from Clancy novels is vindicated.
