##RULES BEFORE POSTING
* **Rule 1**. This is /r/USMC. Be civil with others but also don't forget to have thick skin. 


* **Rule 2**. Do not post any content which violates OPSEC, COMSEC, INFOSEC, PERSEC (or PII), and do not post or ask about anything classified. Classified information that has been "leaked" to the public or otherwise disclosed via unlawful means is still classified.
* **Rule 3**. No calls for witch-hunts or "vigilante justice", keep the pitchforks in storage.
* **Rule 4**. No asking for money or advertising. We can make exceptions for non-profit organizations but please send us a message before posting.
* **Rule 5**. Avoid all political/religious discussions and soapboxing on threads unless it's directly related to the USMC or military and even then we ask that you keep it civil.
* **Rule 6**. No blogspam or clickbait articles. Give us a link from a reputable source instead.
* **Rule 7**. No constant Reposts. Check the new queue before you post. Recent reposts will be removed.
* **Rule 8** No porn or gore. NSFW content must be tagged.

* **Note:** The /r/USMC moderators reserve the right to moderate the subreddit how we see fit for the good of /r/USMC. Just because a rule is not listed does not mean we cannot enforce it (i.e. promoting terrorism, racist comments, etc). Do not try to debate the mod on your interpretation of the rules.
