years as a Marine, I held five ranks. I held one rank twice, but in two different pay grades. One of the current ranks available today, I never held. Another of the ranks available today, I held, but in a different pay grade. What was the circa of my time as a US Marine. The first to answer correctly, gets 10 points. Semper Fidelis!

im guessing in the late 50's to early 1960's
you were a
PVT-E1
PFC-E2
CPL-E3 (Then they came with lance corporal) so you were then a CPL-E4
SGT-E5
And finally a SSGT-E6 (may have been called PLT SGT back in your day)
August 1960: The Corps' Enlisted Rank and Pay Structure Board revised the rank structure, incorporating lance corporals, E8s and E9s.

I'm gonna guess mid-fifties to late 70's?
I figure the rank you held twice was corporal - someplace in the fifties, I believe they added lance corporal to the structure? Not sure, but I think they added Sgt Major of the Marine Corps around 78-80 - in there sometime?

If you were enlisted...it could have been PVT and PFC...not really sure...but I would venture to guess...if I'm reading this right and you want the actual years (not time in service) then I would have to say 60's or 70's. With 5 ranks it could have been 4-5 years.
But what do I know...I'm just married to a Marine (for 15 years)

Serve your excursion after which you're able to do what you like. while you at the instant are not keen to attend until eventually your excursion is over to do a non secular project....then do no longer verify in for the Marines. Semper Fidelis, Z

I've never been a Marine, but I sure wish I knew the answer. Not for the ten points just because out of all the military branches, the Corps is the one I admire the most. Thank you for your service to our country! God Bless You!
***ADD*** Just a guess...1979-1986
