I have actually been doing a search the past few days for a Marine Corps Regimental Tie.. I have found two different ones but both have the red and gold stripe similar to the Royal Marine stripes but with no space between the red and gold.. Sgt Grit has one with a blue back ground and several other sites have one with a green background... I rather fancy the green tie myself and will probably be ordering it the next day or so..

Yes Jock, your words do not fall on deaf ears..and I do pay attention to what's said.. I believe this is a tradition I will start using more often..... And thank you.
