This may be an out of the ordinary question- but- My last name is 11 letters long, ha ha- Now, are we talking about having the letters winding around my uniform, I meen, Ive seen uniforms on some people, and the name tag patch looks like its not really gonna fit 11 letters- am i going to be using only half of my name now? Wow, these responses should be VERY interesting haha :D

In Vietnam my unit had two officers of Greek ancestry. No one even tried to pronounce their names - other officers included. One was Captain D+10, the other Captain A+10.

haha-wow-my last name is a Polish last name, Im not even going to say it, I doubt that many of you would come close to pronounicng it. Im guessing my name in boot will be something along the lines of " Recruit abcdefghi...arewethereyet?" haha

Just go to the courthouse and have your name changed to "smith" or "jones". You are going to have a drill instructor single you out on day 1 because of your name. Its inevitable, so get ready. Hey, on the brightside, you'll have a new nickname that will stick with you for the rest of the time in the Corps. Semper Fidelis
