Yeah, that myth comes from Hollywood's portrayal of US Marines-- I dont know if actual US Marines are like that, but that's certainly how Hollywood (and most fiction) portrays them.
- Bahamut 5y agoIn the Marine Corps you never do a sir sandwich - that gets corrected in boot camp or beforehand for the few that do do that.
- 0des 5y agoDon't ask don't tell was a long time ago. Sir sandwiches are fine.
- chrisBob 5y agoAs an Army officer, I didn't say `sir yes sir` very much, because most people don't like a sir sandwich. I did say "Hoorah" (Who-Ra) a lot.
- robwg 5y agoThe closest accurate Hollywood portrayal IMO would be the series "The Pacific". As far as shouting something similar to "sir yes sir" that typically can be found from boots(folks who havent deployed yet).
