Thread: Hashmarks

    The Corps lets you out one day early. I remember one Marine at Camp La-June was released he just got out the Main Gate then dumped his uniform on the road and set it on fire. The MP's grabbed his young ass and hauled him back to his unit. He ended up doing 6 months in the brig. The reason he was still in the service for 24 hours more.

    The DD-214 has near the upper right hand corner a break down of years months and days of service. If the years block has a number less than 4 then you do not rate a hash mark.

    if you have the full 4 years you have the right to wear a hash strip on your sleeve whether you wear the uniform again or not

    Native Warrior, if you are still on board, I have a question. From your description, I may already have the answer. I am making a gift for a Marine who served with my unit. His profile shows six years of active duty but two hash marks. Is that possible? I was going to order some pins and hash mark pins, but this seems messed up. He's having some serious medical issues and I don't want to pester him.

    Thanks

    ONE hash mark for every 4 full years of duty.

    Yes it's possible.

    You said his profile said 6 years Active Duty with 2 hash marks but the unknown is active reserve time.

    If he served 6 years Active Duty and at least 2 years Active Reserves then he rates 2 hash marks. If it was IRR it does not count.

    Thank you NativeWarrior for being admin and for the info. I VEERPed out a month early, but since it is based on TOS I can wear my hashmark for my buddy's wedding

    not necessarily true, you can be in the IRR and still be on drilling status in which case you would still rate a service stripe for that time

    I was never on drilling status in the IRR for 3 years.
    Good to know.
