How stupid could I possibly be?

From the Urban Dictionary:

jarhead
A member of the United States Marine Corps. When used by civilians it could be considered derogatory, but it is used often among Marines.

The term originates from the "high and tight" haircut that many Marines have, which makes their head look like a jar. It did NOT originate from their uniform or cover.
"Oorah jarhead, semper fi!"

i got this of the internet so it must be true

You can call me a Jarhead anytime, or even Leatherneck, or Devil Dog. But never, ever, call me an Ex-Marine. Because once a Marine, ALWAYS a Marine!

after more research i have found out that jarhead is for the hair cut and leatherneck is for the collar....
now does anybody know where the salute comes from/ or originated

 

[Brian D]

The salute came from Medieval times. When a knight would approach another they would raise there visors with their right hand (sword hand) as a gesture of respect and no ill intent.
