I like the various names given us since the Corps was founded in 1775. Your list is interesting. I have quite a few more that are interesting, but insulting or dirty and not fit for this superb forum.
USMC 1955--1963
Beirut, Syria, North Africa.

Funny how those numbers just get stuck in our brains. I have to think a bit to tell you my license late number but those 7 digits just roll off my tongue.

I’m gonna guess you’re an ex swab jockey, so you get a pass. If you’re not, I’m comin’ after your ass!!
Thank you for your service.

Swab Jockey??
Now, as aged as I am, I'm giggling! Definitely would not have giggled after graduating from Parris Island! Many of us had serious attitude problems if I remember correctly!
I do at times feel badly about disparaging fellow service member who chose other paths...we were young! We all served and did a part!
