Question about uniform "Service Stripes"
Good evening Marines, I have a question regarding "Service Strips". What do these mean exactly?
I ask because the Gunnery Sergeant at my RSS has two, a Staff Sergeant had three, and another Staff Sergeant had one and didn't know if these had a specific meaning or not.

I think technically it's the day you first joined up, but honestly, no one's gonna say anything if it's at least that month. You should be fine unless you have a super motarded command that is incredibly anal retentive on that kind of stuff.

Concur. Put it on for the ball. You'll be good. If it was more than a month or two I'd say no, but you'll be fine.
