Did someone seriously ask you what "USMC" meant? That's sad.
It's actually happened to me a couple of times. I was stunned both times and first asked if they were serious. I remember standing in line at the grocery store and an elderly couple was behind me. The lady asked her husband "What does USMC mean ?" and he loudly said The Marines. I was shocked that someone from the WWII generation would not know that.

(I'm from a Marine family - Withers is the name on that side - but I did the "black sheep" thing and joined the Army, then the Air Force - even got my sister to join the Army. Figured that I could blaze my own trail there, rather than trying to top what my grandfather and his brother accomplished in the Corps) Was "lost in the woods, in Misery" as a 17 year old in the summer of 1985, graduated in August from C-2-2, Ft Leonard Wood, MO. Went home for my senior year of high school, and then returned to FLW for Combat Engineer (12B) AIT with B-4-2 graduating in August of 1986. They called this the "split training option" and it was for reservists and guardsmen. We liked to substitute an "h" for the "pl", since it meant we were on TC lockdown for most of basic and AIT, and didn't really get the benefits of OSUT, since we left one company halfway through, and joined another company halfway through.
