I just got asked to be on a sword detail for one of my buddies in my platoon. However, I am just a lance cooley, does that mean I can't be in it? Do you have to be a NCO to be in the detail or what?

Pvt-LCPL for same.

Cpl-Sgt for same.

SNCO's and Officers for same.

Hey Hawks,

Im not sure if there is an order ( there has to be , its the Marine Corps.) , but I was in a few sword details where I was either a Cpl. or Sgt. and there were Lance Coconuts in the detail as well. We were all in the same platoon or friends.
