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.


Uh-huh.....


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


Really? I have never heard of -any- Marine retiring as a Staff
Sergeant or lower (unless they retired before Korea). I suppose there
were a few, but not many.


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


Marines don't give a **** just as long as what's printed, written or
typed is understood.


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


I'm happy for you.
