U.S. Marines: Second Lieutenant (USMC 2ndLt) [3D] Yard Sign

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find customizable apparel, accessories, custom postage and gifts decorated with rank insignia of a U.S. Marine Second Lieutenant (USMC 2ndLt). In the United States, Second Lieutenant is typically the entry-level rank for most commissioned officers. In the U.S. Marine Corps, a second lieutenant typically commands a platoon-size element (16 to 44 soldiers or Marines). People who have graduated from an ROTC program or completed at least 4 years of college and Officer Candidate School may enter as a Second Lieutenant. People with special skills such as lawyers or medical professionals may receive a direct commission to Second Lieutenant and enlisted soldiers can receive a battlefield commission for displaying exemplary leadership and bravery in battle (although this is usually done only during wars with high officer attrition).
