Look at this:
Wetting Down Parties. Whenever an officer is promoted, he customarily holds a "wetting-down party." At this time the new commission is said to be "wet down." When several officers are promoted at the same time, they frequently have a single wetting-down party. (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/a/customs_2.htm)

Congratulations, Barnett20110425! You're on your way. Have a great celebration.
When did they ban punching the arms?! Man, have things changed! I'm guessing the Corporal's blood stripe is banned, too?
Congrats bud, I just got promoted as well on the 1st. Next stop Lance Corporal!

Congratulations, skeeter. Gotta working on getting that landing gear now!
Go change your profile rank to E-2 or we'll still call you prive!

Thanks again all.
I assumed that's what a wed down was but I was just wanting to make sure
.
I believe that earning your blood stripe is still around. Just not a thing made open.
