Believe USMC calls that Lance Corporal now. Corporal just 2 stripes.

The Marine in the photo IS a Corporal. Two stripes and crossed rifles. A Lance Corporal has one stripe and crossed rifles.

Wait... When I was in (81-85) LCPL was one strip with rifles. CORP was 2 stripes with rifles. Has this changed?

Ok...sorry.....I be wrong....

Did say ‘believe’ USMC...etc... but that is no excuse.<: <:

In my ‘trust but verify’ mode, I did notice that for the most part the Son of a Marine wouldn’t be able to wear his Dad’s insignia to school....
That is shameful.....

Of course, If I had done this ‘first’ we wouldn’t be having this conversation....<: <:
