Enlisted Marine Corps ranks are broken down into three levels, Junior Enlisted, Non-Commissioned Officers, and Staff Non-Commissioned Officers. As a Marine moves up the ladder his or her responsibility and contribution to the mission increases.
Also, children born abroad to two non-citizen nationals or to one alien parent and one non-citizen national parent are eligible for non-citizen national status. This is so rare that the State Department does not even issue a certificate for it. Non-citizen nationals are delineated as such in their passports.
U.S.-administered territories and commonwealths do not require U.S. citizens to possess a passport for entry. In the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands fall into this category.
