WHen do you get a dress sword in the Marine Corps?
when you become a corporal or an officer you can buy one.
What was the size of the USMC during world war 2?
The Marine Corps reached a peak strength of over 700,000. There were six Marine Divisions, all infantry, and all fought in the Pacific. There were also a few Air Wings, and some tank battalions. The WWII Marine Corps was about one-tenth the size of the US Army, and fielded about one-fifteenth as many divisions.
What kind of rifles are on Marine Corps rank?
That is the Garand M1 rifle (Or at least a very close facimile of one.)
Why is the Iwo Jima memorial flying a fifty star flag?
Because that is the flag of the United States and the one the Marine Corps is currently defending.
Was there ever a draft into the Marine Corp Air Force and Navy or was it just into the Army?
Both WWII, Korea and Vietnam saw up to five percent of the Marine Corps strength coming from the draft. The threat of being drafted into the Army or the Marine Corps as cannon fodder has always kept long waiting lines at Air Force and Navy recruitment offices.
