Insignia ranks

Insignia Ranks?

Sniper Bait!

I know that. The reason why many combat units do not wear rank insignia in the field is because any decent enemy combatant that can recognize rank insignia is going to pop a few rounds off in the direction of the guy with the railroad tracks on his collar.

And, I can bet you anything, for the time where ST15 will be wearing regulation uniforms, I'll be getting shot at alot because I'll be wearing railroad tracks on my collars. It's just going to happen that way.

In my mind, so long as you don't act like a total douchebag in the uniform, do your own thing. The second you try to pass yourself off as Colonel Mitch, Delta Force Sniper, well, stand by to stand by.

Well, since you're a Militia . . . . or because you (or whoever you're taking the spelling from) cant spell a 'mulisha", you're authorized a couple generals, a few colonels, and a grip of Lieutenant Colonels.

I've never seen a Private in a state-level private militia . . .

We decided on Mulisha so the county or W/e people wouldn't freak out

I originally had an idea of how our rank system would go...

Me-Captain (as team Captain)
1 2nd Lt
1 1st Sgt
2 Msgt
and others SSgt and privates

However, when Mav was righting his Senior paper, I magically became a Colonel and 90% of the team were officers.

I know I'm new to this but this is something i and others like me feel strongly. I have been a Marine for over 5 years. The question should not be if it is legal or not, but if it is right. Many people have fought and died wearing those uniforms and insignia. Those of us that have been able to return, find it distasteful that people that have no idea as to what the uniform means are wearing it. We as Marines go through a lot to earn the right to wear our Eagle Globe and Anchor. The uniforms and insignia have a deeper meaning then most people understand. I understand that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but some things are sacred, to those of us that have paid full price for the right to wear it. I don't want to offend anyone just stating my and a small majorities opinion. I appreciate the honor and respect that all of you intend by imitation just please remember that it means a lot to some of us. Thank you for your time.

And for that very fact Gunslinger is why i ware Civilian version MARPAT, i haven't had the honor of going through USMC Boot their for have no right to ware the EGA. Rank insignias though are used not only by military but Para-Military organizations, Law Enforcement, etc. When i was in a different police program my rank was Lieutenant, I still have those butter bars and if or when i get a team going if i deem it proper or appropriate to use them again, i might. I understand the significance of these rank insignias and Its my feeling that as long as you don't claim to be anything more than an Airsoft Team, and use them proper, their is no Honor lost.
