Also, I have never seen it used in the plural. A Marine E-7 is called a Gunny, but a group of E-7s (which might be a scary sight) would be called Gunnery Sergeants. So gunnies is not an infringment, and I understood the term just fine anyway.<br><br>Semper Fidelis,<br>ASM826<br /><span class=\"byline\">           ASM826 | 03.07.06 - 7:32 am | <a href=\"#197004\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"383023\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=abbe7aadb18209af106150d5e1c96822&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Swear away! I'm from Massachusets but have lived in New Hampshire for about 10 years now. <br><br>The current world climate is making me think that having a weapon in the house may not be a bad idea. I've shot rifles, shotguns and pistols before but have never bothered to get my own. My cousin (a former Boston cop) seems to think that packing heat is the way to go so I'm currently looking into it. That how I found your site!<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Byron | 08.24.06 - 11:16 pm | <a href=\"#383023\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 278px;\"><a href=\"http://www.cnet.com/html/ww/100/2009/poll/infrastructure.html?tag=mncol\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/webwarebanner.png\" width=\"278\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/denisebill/110459102056561851/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='denisebill' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='110459102056561851' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
