As I ended a conversation with my future son-in-law over the phone the other day (currently a Marine LT.), I said "Semper Fi, Marine"-it just sorta came out-, to which he replied "ooh rah" and we rang off. Later that evening, I got to wondering if this is proper considering I never served. Knowing what I know about the USMC and their personal regard on such things, is it not proper for a civilian to give salutations in such a way? I do not wish to be insulting, so any help here would be greatly appreciated. I consider myself an ignorant puke on such things, but not wanting to be an insulting one on top of it all. |
