I hear ya, sure. I just have known enough black belts who would be more than happy to give you the appropriate belt if you talked to them about it that I wouldn't sweat it too hard.I am not concerned with the belt i am wearing but down the line it could become a concern when I open my own academy after I retire from the Marine Corps. I seriously doubt I would be taken seriously as an instructor wearing a worn out purple belt with 16 years training, you know what I mean?
