Any Imperial Marine who has made an insertion via 'drop' will accept the
epithet 'fireball' with pride. While not part of the official uniform,
'fireballs' who choose to wear a small pin depicting a fireball (the most
common depiction is a circle with flames streaming off in one direction)
below their name tag/name plate will not be 'dinged' for uniform
violations.
