Oorah Marines!

I'm looking into buying my own NCO sword, but I'm having trouble finding the regs on what size to get.

I'm 67" tall, any help would be great!!

Are you an NCO? Your profile doesn't really tell us anything about you. The information is available in the regulations regarding the sword. Also, a general rule of thumb is: that when the sword is held correctly in the carry position, it just just touch the tip of the ear. I know there others on this site who are more current or have the regulations available. My knowledge is based on memory. Also, the uniform shop in the PX used to have that information available as swords were sold there.
