Just before the fighting started last year, I was on a long-term business assignment in Nashville. Each day, I drove by the regional USMC recruiting office. One day, I called the office and asked to speak to the senior enlisted Marine. A Sergean Major came on the phone and I introduced myself. A few days later, I met the Officer in Charge (OIC) and gave him several hundred dollars worth of gift certificates to Ruby Tuesday restaurants. I asked the OIC to pass them out to as many of his ENLISTED Marines as possible. The gratitude was overwhelming. I am too old to be in uniform, but I am not too old to do something for them. The local recruiters, of all branches, work lots of hours (60 or more per week) for the same paycheck.

Can you explain the difference between enlisted and not enlisted? Just curious.
