Blood makes the green grass grow! Well, it’s not just a macabre and motivational saying. It’s also completely true. Blood may seem like a bad garden additive since it has plenty of salt, but its salt content is actually manageable when it is diluted into water and mixed with soil.

Why Grass Is Green? Like many plants, grass produces a pigment called chlorophyll. This bright pigment absorbs blue and red light, reflecting green light back to your eyes.

Like many plants, most species of grass produce a bright pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light (high energy, short wavelengths) and red light (low energy, longer wavelengths) well, but mostly reflects green light, which accounts for your lawn’s color. But chlorophyll isn’t just for eye candy.

Be continually active; do not stand still or be idle (thus giving the grass a chance to grow where you’re standing). Don’t let the grass grow under your feet, kid.

BLOOD! It means that in war. The blood spilled from your enemies will make the grass grow.

The sky is blue because of a process called Rayleigh scattering, grass on the other hand is green because its main pigment (chlorophyll) does not absorb that wavelength of light. Blood blood bright red blood, and because God loves the Infantry.

I love the infantry because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can’t be won without.

Why is the sky blue? Because God loves the Infantry! More than 140 second lieutenants in B Company, 2nd Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment, are on their way to becoming the Army’s next generation of Infantry leaders.

What does the term “Make the grass grow” have to do with the Marines? Blood makes the grass grow; kill, kill, kill. Most of us know the proverb “Blood is thicker than water”, and a lot are familiar with the supposed original version of this proverb, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”.

Because unlike the other branches of service, the Marines actually take pride in their appearance. Cammies are for work, not for walking around in public.

The Marine Corps Uniform Regulation, MCO P1020. 34G prescribes wear of the Marine Corps uniform by retirees and veterans. Retirees. Retired officers and enlisted personnel are entitled to wear the prescribed uniform of the grade held on the retired list when wear of the uniform is appropriate.

Enlisted Marines have not been required to own the dress blues since 1993, when the Corps stopped issuing an allowance for the uniforms as a way to cut costs, said Mary Boyt of the uniform board. Now all Marine recruits will be issued the dress blues during boot camp as of October, a recent Corps-wide message says.

Marines

James Conway says. Such emergencies include car crashes, vehicle breakdowns and medical emergencies. That means Marines can no longer wear their utility uniforms when they are off base and decide to pick up their kids from day care, run to the drug store or get gas, said Mary Boyt, of the Marine Corps Uniform Board.

Air Force

It is a Naval Tradition. Sailors and Marines just don’t salute uncovered. We don’t salute left handed either. Indoors without a cover is about the only time you can be out of uniform, and you simply do not salute out of uniform anymore than in civvies.

Yut is a military term. Marines say “Yut” when they’re motivated, for a yes response and sometimes out of sarcasm. The work ethic that is required to become a Marine Corps Infantry officer is extreme and admirable.

Originally Answered: Can non-Marines say Oorah? Of course they can! It’s a free country after all. Though, you’ll get some odd looks from the Marines you say it to if the context isn’t right..
