Marine rank?
What was Phillips correct rank for the infobox? In his book he discussed having been reduced to the grade of private for his college training program, but he said that he would have been promoted to corporal if he'd stayed in at the time of his discharge. then there is the question of his reserve duty. What was his rank when he was going to Spring Hill College in the USMCR? Trilobitealive (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
