Canīt forget the image of William Shatner intoning "Rank Hath It's Privileges" on Star Trek when I see RHIP, but yes, perhaps that's right. Most if not all of the people mentioned in prior posts that were carrying unofficial sidearms were officers.
People with more working knowledge of the U.S.M.C. will have to comment here because I am certainly not qualified to do so.
Cheers!
