I got a clippers today during lunch. Im going to attempt to cut Johns hair. He's got the typical Marine cut with the high and tight fade. Usually he asks for a #0 on the sides and a #5 on the top. Anyone ever done this before? Im looking around online for tips. There isnt much. I learned that a #0 is no guard and #5 is 5/8 inch. Thats good because my guards didnt come with numbers, they came with sizes.
Oh and FYI I have watched them do this a few times so I kinda have an idea... Just hoping to get some tips.

Holy crap people are taking this haircut way too seriously!!

Odd question: I need to know what size clips are used for a "high and tight" haircut. It's a military haircut... I've been searching Google but I can't find what size clips they use for the clippers (or whatever they're called). I need to know what size for the sides and top... thanks!

As a US Marine I get angry when I see civilians with a military regulation haircut. Our way of living shouldn't be a fashion statement. Especially for those who have no idea what we go through on a day to day basis. It's an insult to us to see a nasty civilian walking around immitating something they are not. (and yes, just about any good Marine can point you out a mile away)
However, if you must know, it's 0 on the sides (not bare skin as someone previously mentioned. It's supposed to look like stubble) and up to 3" on the top without a fade. In order to maintain my military appearance I get my haircut at least once a week but I try and get it every 4 days.
