As a barber I can say that about 50% of all my clients are military personnel, you can always tell when I have a Marine in the chair just by the way they carry themselves. They make perfect eye contact and have a firm handshake. They have a very strong air of self confidence. They are very happy that I know military regs. I also give a discount for all military personnel.

We had a joke in the Army: "The only two service branches are the Army and Navy. The Air Force is a business, and the Marine Corps is a cult."

I spent 12 years in the British Royal Marines Corps when I joined in 1961. Have to say the discipline, fear, intimidation and professionalism made me what I am today ... turning me from a young wet-behind-the-ears scruffy teenager into someone who responds to the highest standards and physical abilities and challenges throughout life.

I was in the Army, a 13B field artillery cannon crewman to be exact. Although I enjoyed the Army experience, I, and many others are a bit jealous of the fanatic/family culture the Marines have. I've seen when they meet each other or find out the other is/was in the Corps. It's like seeing long lost family members greet each other. The Marines are practically a military fraternity. 🪖

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Served from 09-13 and it influenced almost every decision or thing I’ve done since. It’s all about the small things…

Been out of the Corps for almost 50 years now its lessons still regulate my life. It was a honor to serve my country as a Marine enlisted, I made Sargent of Marines. I served from 1968-1974. My Dad was a WWII Marine his last WORDS to ME WERE SEMPER FI that is all.

As a father of a US Marine, this makes me tear up. Thanks to all for your service!

My father served in the marines from 2008-2016-17. He has told me that his life was changed completely from the moment he joined the marines. He learned how to push himself very hard and earned a 298 on the PFT and I’ll always be proud of him for that. He told me that he hated running but forced himself to run everyday and eventually came to love to run.

I served 20 years in the Corps. 1964-1984 and 2 combat tours in Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71. First tour as a 0331 Infantry machine gunner and the 2nd tour as a platoon commander for a CAP (Combined Action Platoon). What I learned in the Corps served me well and I highly recommend it to anyone needing direction and discipline. Tom Boyte GySgt.. USMC, retired Bronze Star/Purple Heart

My son is a graduate of USNA and he is a Marine Officer. He graduated in his black dress jacket and white pants. He looks awesome! His father was enlisted and looked great in his dress blues. It's nothing like the Marines!!! I'm so proud.

Served from 1969 till 1990 Retired Master Sergeant I’m now 70 and I still remember standing on the shoulders of the Marines that went before me! I was not going too let them down! Not on my watch! Semper Fi brothers and sisters

I'm from the UK but I have a friend who was a Sgt in the USMC and I can safely say that guy is really proud of his service. I mean that dude is brimming with pride and he loves the Corps. Get him talking and he just loves to talk about the Marines. Even though he's in the UK now he still does his video calls with members of his unit every week or so.

Served as enlisted in the Corps. Then went to college and grad school. Accepted a direct commission in the USN. Never can live that down with my jarhead buddies. Retired many years ago with one star. Can’t beat the Marine uniforms, no way, no how. I still consider myself a broken-down old Marine, not a sailor! Semper fi!

As the daughter of a USMC combat veteran, I hear in your presentation the things that my dad lived by and instilled. Character and self-esteem as well as selflessness and sense of duty. Along with clean cut and sharp dressed, that is a culture of self-esteem and self-discipline we could use more of today. Standards that support every aspect of a man's life. That's outstanding, Marine.

I spent 15 years in the Navy as a Force Reconnaissance Corpsman. Ninety percent of my service was with the Corps. I was always envious of their dress blues! Semper Fi!

Marines are stylish not because of what we wear but how we wear it. We stand tall, we speak with our chest, we walk with confidence, we can even be dressed in civvies and people will notice. It's our emphasis on learning attention to detail. It's been a long time since I been in but my demeanor and style sticks out.

Semper Fi. I got out in 1975 as a sergeant (E-5). I agree with all you said but I would add the confidence that is instilled in you at the completion of boot camp and, that stays with you forever after, contributes to why Marines are stylish.

I was an enlisted Marine (Sergeant) and I did own a set of Dress Blues. However, I have to be honest that I think I like the officer's Dress Blues better, particularly with the Sam Browne Belt. When I came home from boot camp, we had Summer Service and Winter Service uniforms. Summer service were also called Tropicals, Winter Service were Greens in wool. I came home as a PFC wearing Summer Service Bravos (long sleeve shirt with battle scarf -tie) and barracks cover. My dad was a WWII Marine (Corporal). He was looking at my uniform and feeling the cloth. His comment? "Shit. Fucking officer's material." 🙂Obviously the material had changed over the years.

I was in the USMC from 1968-1972! It still affects every day of my life in a positive way!
