Service members in pay grades E-1 through E-3 are usually either in
some kind of training status or on their initial assignment.
The training includes the basic training phase where recruits are immersed in military culture
and values and are taught the core skills required by their service component.
Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration.
In the Marines, this area is called a military occupational specialty (MOS)Pay Grade: E2

I saw the question 'What is the order of ranks in the army' but isn't there a gunnery sergeant too?
Gunnery Sergeant and Lance Corporal are names of ranks used by the US Marines. The Question was about the US Army.
What ranks in the marines get deployed?
Private through General get deployed, not just in the Marines, but in all branches.
How can you skip being a Private and become a Sergeant in the US Marines?
You don't. Just like all enlisted Marines you are a private. No skipping ranks.
Why are there two sergeants in the Marines?
Can you clarify the question? If you mean persons holding the rank of Sergeant, then your information is way off. There would be thousands of such people in the Marines. If you're referring to ranks with 'Sergeant' in the title, then I'd be inclined to think that you're referring to the British Royal Marines, who have the ranks of Sergeant and Staff Sergeant... enlisted ranks above Staff Sergeant are Warrant Officers in the British and most Commonwealth forces.
Can Marine nurses have ranks?

What do you have to do in order to become a colonel in the marines?
You have to first join the marines and then work your way up the ranks by being a good marine, completing your duties, and showing that you have what it takes to be a leader. You have to stand out above others, a colonel is a pretty high rank.
How many rings on the sleeve does a Lt Commander in the Royal Marines wear?
Royal Navy Lt Cmr's wear three rings (two full with a skinny one in the middle) Royal Marines dont use naval ranks but use army ranks, so a Lt Cmr would be a Major and carry a crown on his uniform :)

No, not as such, but the Royal Marines (part of the Naval Service) use Army ranks, so there are RM Majors.
What is the difference between the military and the marines?
Marines are part of the military, many will argue that the Marines are the best/highest trained military branch in the US military (now im not saying that there arnt special forces for other branchs that arn't better then Marines, all im saying is for basic training i'd have to say that the Marines are the best)
