I'm not sure if the superstition is for all Marines, but a friend of mine who was in a Marine Armored Division is very superstitous.
What is the origin of the superstition that Marines (specifically Marine Tankers) have with Apricots?
No, never heard that one before, today their lest favourite fruit is "Lemons", reminds them of "Erudite" the anti-war troll who posts here frequently!!
Reply:"Most accounts say that in World War II, during the Marine Corps' island-hopping campaign, a platoon of AAVs (Amphibious Assault Vehicles) carrying supplies was shot down by the Japanese. Every AAV was sunk, and every crewmember lost his life. The bulk of their supplies: apricots. Also by most accounts, this event marked the beginning of the apricot's malice."
