For the most part from what I've always been told by clients of mine who have been in the service, they are primarily against any visible tattoos on your hands or neck. Tattoos on the face are completely out, and they are against any tattoo that is racist in meaning or has any gang affiliation. Other than that, they are pretty much cool with tattoos anymore.

Marines are prohibited from:a. Tattoos or brands on the head and neck.

b. Sleeve Tatoos. A sleeve tattoo is a very large tattoo, or a collection of smaller tattoos, that covers or almost covers a person's entire arm or leg.

c. Half-sleeve or quarter sleeve tattoos that are visible to the eye when wearing standard PT Gear (T-shirt and shorts). A half-sleeve or quarter-sleeve tattoo is defined as a very large tattoo or collection of smaller tattoos that covers, or almost covers the entire portion of an army or leg above or below the elbow or knee.

d. Tattoos or brands that are prejudicial to good order, discipline and morale, or are of a nature to bring discredit upon the Marine Corps. These may include, but are not limited to, any tattoo that is sexist, racist, vulgar, anti-american, anti-social, gang related, or extremest group or organization related.

Marines who currently have a sleeve tattoo(s) prior to 1 April 2007, will be grandfathered. The Marine's command will insert a photograph(s) of the respective (tattoo(s) along with a measurement(s) of the size in inches and of the location(s) on the body and the date the tattoo(s) was documented, on the Page 11 of the Marine's SRB. The Marine will sign the Page 11 entry verifying the information is correct.

Does the USMC have a rule about the number of tattoos on their body for new enlistees?

In general, the Marine Corps does not want more than 3 - 4 small tattoos on a recruit or Marine. There are times when a waiver may be given. Full sleeve and ostentatious tattoos are frowned upon, and may keep one from enlistment. Part of the reasoning behind this is for safety of that particular Marine and his or her fellow Marines.

What kind of candy do the marines give out in Iraq?

In short, the candy is not specific. There are no rules or regulations governing the distribution of candy from Marines to the locals. These are typically individual Marines trying to show the locals that they are friendly. The candy used is usually whatever they have available. Marines get this candy from various places. Some MREs have a snack food in them (M&Ms, Combos, hard candy, pretzel sticks, chewing gum, etc) and Marines will hand these out to the locals. Some families will send care packages the their Marines that contain candy or mints.
