A weapons platoon will usually have a first lieutenant (O-2) and a gunnery sergeant (E-7) due to the generally larger number of Marines (up to 69 in the 81mm mortar platoon) in these platoons (the heavy machinegun platoon being the exception with only 28 members) and the more complex weapon systems employed.
Thread: Platoon Numbers. I was out at a bar on Saturday night, talking to one of my buddies about my decision to join, and a guy came up to me asking me if I was in the Corps. I told him I'm a poolee, leaving in march, and the conversation continued. He said he was a Marine, in the infantry, and just got out last year.
