the term jarhead is from the high and tight hair cuts most marines wear, when viewed from the back the hair looks like the lid and the head looks like an empty jar. and from association our heads are also "an empty jar" ie. dumb! also the term leatherneck refers to the high leather collars marines wore way back in the day to protect their necks from sword slashes. the high collar of our dress blues is an homage to this old uniform function and the name leatherneck refers to this. we have about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 traditions in the marines and everything has a story although most are based off of accepted tradition and not historical fact!
