Actually, it's a Marine thing. I don't believe the other branches of the Armed Forces use that terminology; I could be mistaken, but don't think so.

As a former Marine who spent over 20 years in the "Corps" (as we call it) I find some of these comments quite amusing, to say the least.

I would venture to say the average graphic artist and/or designer on the block these days has never spent one day in the armed forces. What say you, folks? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
