SPC Gary Welch We (all services) poke fun at each other,but in good-natured fun.I don't think they started using the term "crayon-eaters" during my time in the Marines,but they had plenty of other names.Jarhead,Gyrene,ground-pounder,Leathneck,devil-dog,etc.

SSgt Terry P. - Not in my time in the Corps either. I suspect that "crayon eating" was some plagiarism from "The Simpsons". Little Ralph Wiggum is a classmate of Lisa Simpson. Ralph is lovable, remarkably "dumb", and eats his crayons.

All kidding aside and common sense forward -- it just isn't politic to offer insult, even in jest, to people who are going to use, and evaluate your product.
