    Misfire, there is no way you could have been a Corporal (E-4). Given your dates of service in our beloved Corps, I can believe Sergeant (E-4).

    Some one in this thread said it very nicely - - trucks and rifles have serial numbers, I had a service number!! My service number is 159++++. Dates of service 20 FEB 56 to 19 FEB 60.

    Semper Fi,

    Here's what I found in an earlier post I made:

    An earlier post I had on here about the use of the 1700000 series got no responses, but the URL I looked at:
    http://wapedia.mobi/en/Service_number_(United_States_armed_forces)
    indicates the block may have been "reserved" for WMs (and then possibly never utilized).

    I'm not quite sure if "full" SSNs are still used, but when I go to the VA my SSN is redacted to the last 4 digits in sign-ins and correspondence.

    Misfire, I'm not giving you a bad time. You're like me - - a misfit in todays world of Marines. I was given my avitar by a kind soul in here or I would have been like you. Sometimes it's tough to get folks to understand that you and I held the rank and all of its responsibilities - - we just didn't get the benefit of their pay grade/pay raise.
