i belive the Officers badge sticks out alittle bit more then the enlisted.
not sure why if its true

Mark Conley · May 26th, 2004

No thats not quite it...

Okay..ill narrow it down. look at the globe.

remember, its a two part question.....

C/2nd Lt Robot · May 26th, 2004

I think i got it now, does it show the Eastern Hemisphere and the enlisted shows the Western Hemisphere
Like the British Royal Marines does.

C/2nd Lt Robot · May 27th, 2004

or is when you are promoted to captain with combat experience and discretion yours will have silver in it?

Mark Conley · May 27th, 2004

No both do show the western hemisphere. But you are very very warm.
look at both again.

that really nice silver and gold one captains have is pretty, but it doesnt play into this trivia question.

is it that the Officers Hat Bagde show Latitudinal lines and the Enlisted shows Longitudinal lines?

okay heres the first part of the question...

1. Other than the colors used, and the fine attention to detail of the Officer Badge itself: What is the main difference between the Enlisted and Officers Hat Badge? ( This is the round, white hat that them Marine wear in their dress uniform

Answer: The main difference is the island of cuba. The enlisted hat badge shows the island of cuba: the officers hat badge does not.

2. what is the reason for this difference?

answer: legend has it that there has not been a marine officer killed on this island...yet. there fore, it isnt displayed on their badge...yet.

look at the badges carefully and you will see the differences.

next question will be posted monday, 31 May 2004 at 1200 GMT.

it wont be this hard. and it will be worth...100 milbucks!
