The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Since the film uniforms had US Army ranks, whatya think about adopting an obsolete rank to my uniform? It's a Specialist 5th Class patch. Spec5's went out of use in the 70s, with all Specialists now being E-4s.

I'm a Spec5 in our Vietnam reenactment group, thought I'd badge my USCM the same. I prefer wearing an obsolete patch--less confusion with real modern ranks. Thoughts?

Personally, I don't think it would look good on the uniform. Even though army insignia were used, it was still marine corps titles. I think the Spec 5 just wouldn't fit. But that's me.

Oh can we that would be kick ass. I think it's a great idea I mean I see you point about not being a Marine Rank but still.

So what happens when you ask for opinions around here? Kris is right. Ultimately, you choose what you want.
