I just learned that title 'Marine Gunner' or 'Gunner' is a specific title or billet referring to a specific Marine who is of rank CWO2 through CWO5. must have at least 16 years in service and be at least an E7 upon receiving his/her warrant, etc. I won't be more specific or will run out of allowable characters. Any other special/unusual(?) titles for a billet/MOS of this nature, in *any* branch?

"Gunner" is a universally applied term to Marine Warrant Officers. However, the TRUE Gunner is an Warrant Officer (any grade) in the 03-Infantry MOS' (0306?).

In the Army:
Infantry = Grunt, Ground-Pounder, Door-Kicker, Boot-Stomper, 11 Bang-Bang
Military Police = Soldier F*cker, Rent-a-Cop, Wannabe Cop
Engineer = Caveman
Cavalry Scout = Brokeback Recon, Horse-Handler, Baby Tanker
Not sure if this actually answered what you were asking. But these are MOS nicknames I have heard since I came into the Army.

That works for me, Specialist. I appreciate the info.
In the regiment I was with at Rivers Barracks (USAREUR) there was another battery, 2/92 Field Artillery.
They were known, in a friendly way, as gun bunnies or as cannon c_ckers.
No vulgarity intended on the last one.

My last unit called them rocket jockeys and called the mortar company a "bunch of fire-spitting p***ies."

More specifically, "Gunner" is an MTOE'd Warrant position position that exists solely in Infantry units. There's generally one per INF BN.

They also have a distinguishing device worn on the lapel in place of a rank... Left lapel I believe... Though it's a black version for Cammies...
