This now fully Trained Marine is wearing a Red Diamond on his left shoulder to indicate he has been spotted as potentially NCO material. He is also now a Marksman on a Rifle, Section Light Machine Gun and Sterling Sub-Machine Gun.

Back in the day this is exactly how any Recruit would be rigged (dressed) to ‘Go Ashore’ (into Town) including Parade Boots! We had to be back in Barracks by 2359 hours and the sound of all these returning at the double sounded like a train coming, they would all be in step!
