People Also Ask
What is the 'Lance Corporal Underground'?
It is the informal grapevine among junior Marines through which rumors, gossip, and unofficial news spread quickly.
Why is it called that?
Lance corporal is a common junior enlisted rank, and 'underground' evokes an unofficial, below-the-radar information network.
Is the information reliable?
Not officially. It often circulates rumors ahead of any confirmed announcement, so it can be right, wrong, or wildly exaggerated.
