Is it / was it a USMC thing to "haze" newly qualified or promoted personnel by striking new arm or chest (head ?) worn insignia so that it was affixed by the pin fittings (without the clutches applied) piercing flesh?
I read that it was a practise that the military was taking action to prevent some years ago, think I read USMC rather than army.
