I know it is the term for a Marine E-7 NCO, but WHO uses it? Is it a term used by the enlisted as a title (Yes SIr, Gunny!) or is it a term only the Officers are allowed to use in reference (Gunny! Get so-and-so in my office! NOW!)????
I'm trying to write a story in which two former Marines, one's a former Sergeant of the Sniper/Scouts of Recon, and the other is his former commanding NCO, a "Gunny", are great friends, out of active/Reserve service with the Corps., but still have the "Gunny" and "Sarge" thing going...
Help?
I knew a couple of Marines a while back, but one is now a Medal of Honor resident of Arlington Cemetary, and the other is paralyzed and can't talk thanks to a insurgent's bullet in the vocal chords. I wanna get the details right so I can make these guys proud.
