Kennedy was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his heroics in the rescue of the crew of PT 109, as well as the Purple Heart Medal for injuries sustained in the accident on the night of 1 August 1943. He did not however receive the congressional medal of honor.
Yes, most military surplus stores carry them. : That's great! : the reason i am asking is because i would like to wear it when i train(for motivational purposes) and i didn't know if it was frowned upon by other Marines and i certainly did not want to offend anymore, since i have not earned the Title Marine......yet!
JFK served in the US Navy during WWII, 1941-1945, commanding a PT Boat in the Solomons. He was awarded the medal for saving the lives of his fellow crewmates after contact with Japanese forces.

Unit commanders will administer the physical fitness test at least semiannually (on a calendar year basis) to all Marines under 46 years of age, regardless of grade, except for personnel on duty in a combat zone, and annually for members of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR).--------------------------I couldn't find anything on paper in regards to organized PT in a combat zone. From my knowledge, it isn't allowed. There's supposedly a set number of bodies PTing in a group that is considered "organized".I hope this information answers your question.Best Regards,Corporal of Marines

Yes, a Marine sergeant has the authority to give instructions and set expectations for the corporal's duties and responsibilities. If completing a PT session is a requirement or prerequisite for counseling marines, the sergeant can enforce that requirement. It is within the sergeant's authority to ensure that the corporal meets the necessary standards before conducting counseling sessions.
Yes but only dress socks
