Curious.. what does the C in USMC stand for?

[iamerror]

Sorry if this is obvious... is it the United States Marine Combat knife or the United States Marine Corps knife? I can't seem to find a definite answer from the Ka-bar or Camillus websites, or from other places. I just wanted to make sure.

And I always thought the C was silent.

P.S.: the "ps" is silent.

WRONG!

Corps is pronounced the same as "corpse"

Don't let any Marine tell you otherwise.
