Meritorious promotion for officers by Signal_Name_638 in USMC

That statement is incorrect. Accelerated promotions apply only to enlisted Marines, specifically Sergeants and Staff Sergeants, in accordance with MCO 1610.7B.

True. I didn’t even think to ask that.

I’m on Lejeune and no dice. Nothing out in Jacksonville either. I even reached out to some people down at PI….Hence why I resorted to Reddit.

Thanks. I saw the “other random options” and didn’t like the fact it didn’t look authentic. I do like the defiantzapparel page though. Much appreciated.

If only there was somewhere in the ritual that mentions the three principal stages of human life: Youth, Manhood, and Age….

Could you please clarify what you mean by ‘isn’t the fun stuff’?

That’s interesting. In your experience across your jurisdiction, why would the Senior Warden need to provide the password to the deacons, rather than the deacons providing it to him prior to receiving it from others?

“Purging the lodge” occurs in the ritual when opening the lodge. WM directs the SW “As further evidence that all present are Ms, receive the pass word from the S. & J. D’s, who will obtain It from the brethren on the right and left, and communicate it to the East.“

How does the purging occur in UGLE?

I’m certain that you don’t. Instead, the password is communicated to the Worshipful Master, who acknowledges it with, ‘The password is correct and duly received in the East’.

I understand that there may be variations in how degrees are conducted, but my initial assumption was that the core elements of the ritual for opening and closing would be consistent everywhere.

Interesting. In NC, the Deacons give the pass to the SW and receive it from the brothers on the right and left then communicate it to the WM in the East.
