Can you answer a question for me about proper mode of address?
For whatever reason, I've always been under the impression that you didn't call Marines soldiers. Is this correct?
No disrespect inteded whatsoever. I just wanted for my own personal clarification.
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked." INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983) (Burger, C.J.)
correct, you only refer to enlisted members of the US Army as "soldiers"
members of the Corps are always "marine(s)"
and i believe that corpsmen is a reference to a navy medic.....you wouldnt ever refer to a former or current marine as corpsman unless he held that specific job
Thanks, jk. That's what I thought.

also, there is no such thing as a "former Marine" ('cept for Lee Harvey Oswald for whom my Leatherneck buds make a specific exception)Originally Posted by jk the sooner fan

I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.
I knew two brothers who went into the service in 1967. One went to the marines and became a helicopter pilot. The other went to the Air Force and became a hospital corpsman.
One was referred to as "Airman" and the other was referred to as "Corpsman".
