I'm 16, planning on joining the Marines when i turn 18 (after graduation of course) and i was just wondering: As far as knives go, what is acceptable to bring into active duty? I have a few USMC issue Ka Bar knives and two Ka bar Kukris, and i would prefer to have one of each with me in the shit for survival/combat purposes. Would this be allowed?
highly encourage; You can buy and get whatever you want for combat as long as is within the walls of common sense of course (meaning you are not going to carry a 15th century sword or a spear into the field)
But one of item that is a must and will be totally useful in the field is a "gerber". The gerber will be your best friend on deployment (specially the ones with the pliers)
Knives in modern combat are useless since hand to hand combat is not that common. Knives in the modern military are used mainly as tools and a last resort for survival.
Another tool that you should consider is the ka bar bayonet (i think they are now issued with the rifle). If you are in a jungle environment get yourself a machete or small ax.
But please do not get a 26 inch blade with your. I recommend that you get a small concealed blade. Something that you can carry around your belt like a multi-tool or switch blade (hence the gerber)
Now; if you are in an administrative job like paralegal, intelligence or on a hq battalion; then forget what I said since people will laugh at you because why buy a blade or a multi-tool since you are going to be stuck on a desk 24-7?
Blades and multi-tools are good for maintenance and combat related jobs.
