Three stripes on top add up to Sergeant, and three rockers on the bottom equal Staff Noncommissioned Officer. Add a pair of crossed rifles, and you have the Marine Corps’ Master Sergeant, an E-8 expert not only highly expert in weapons and ordnance, but also able to take charge of higher-level logistics, administrative, and other operational responsibilities.
Only the best and most dedicated Marines reach the rarefied air of Master Sergeant—display your achievement and dedication to your profession with this E-8 Master Sergeant tie tack! Though not authorized for wear by Marines currently enlisted or serving in the Reserve, this miniature facsimile of the scarlet-and-gold chevrons worn on the Blue and Blue-White Dress uniforms adds personality to your civilian wardrobe and speaks volumes about your professionalism and commitment to duty. Can be worn as a pin on a lapel or cap, or added to a shadow box to help chronicle a life of service in the Corps.
Note: Not for wear with current USMC uniforms worn by active Marine personnel. Customers searching for tie tacks for use with the khaki shirt should choose the
standard gold necktie clasp. USMS regulations also authorize
tacks/clasps made with the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor as optional wear items by both Officers and enlisted Marines currently in service.
