Agree and disagree. Yes marines are not all idiots but some are down right dumb. If you take a step back a realize that it’s more of a teaching tool rather then punishment. Some tards don’t know to check fluids or inspection stickers. Be a good NCO and mentor rather then bitching 24/7. Just my take and yes some ppl take it way to far

I met sgt maj green on a field trip to quantico for my jrotc class. My instructor knows him well P.S. hes a really cool guy and gave a really nice speech
Don't laugh. I had a guy like that in my Basic Training Platoon in the Army. I always told myself, that there was a guy who was by no means a rocket scientist by any length of the imagination, but he was a person whom I was positive that one day, this guy from the mean streets of Detroit back in the mid 80's, with his drive and spirit could one day end up earning a MOH for throwing himself on a grenade or something like that. Well, fast forward about 30 yr.'s now, and as far as I know, no MOH for him that I am aware of. But however, I did hear that he did a full 20+ yr. career in the Army and he honorably retired as a MSG (Master Sergeant). Good for him and others like him!
Some still got in trouble in the Marine Corps. A lot of Marines were UA, (Unauthorized Absence) aka AWOL. I some how stayed out of trouble and made Sgt, 4 months before I was discharged. Almost stayed in but decided to get out and let my hair grow long. I served 1973-1977. Semper Fidelis
Thank you. I'm old now 67 yrs old. I served the Marine Corps 1973-1977. I'm still so proud to be a Marine for life. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
last day of ETSing out of the Army I had cleared everything and was no shit about to roll out the base for the last time and my 1st Sergent made my first line Sergent do a POV inspection. I was like where are you going to file that inspection considering i had all my records from company in my car..
I remembered we got caught by our Staff lying that we checked the oil on some trucks. He asked us what number were parked in. We said number 35 Staff Sgt. We walked there, open the hood up, and no dip stick. He asked us where is the dip stick. We told him it was there sir. Well, we went back to the office and he pulled the dip stick. We spent the 72 hour weekend holiday on duty each night around the barracks. Great Staff Sgt who was with us in Grenada and later the last unit in Beirut, Lebanon. Our First Sgt. was the best of the best. I heard he died in the 2000's of cancer.
Had a Master Sergeant once that denied a guy pre deployment leave to home before we went to Iraq because he had a microscopic crack in his windshield. Right then & there I converted to the religion of DD-214ism & I sleep soundly in its warm gentle embrace each night.

Hello Marine We certainly humped the same ground. I was sent there from 2/1st Marines I really didn’t want to go there ,I loved being a Grunt besides the Barracks was my third special duty Sea Duty,the Drill Field so in my opinion Barracks duty was just too much,apparently my opinion was of no concern to the Corps,I was told to pack my trash and report to Marine Barracks Washington for duty that was 1988 I was a Staff Sergeant. So that’s what I did. I was brought there to be a plt sgt for one of the Marching Companies But there was no billit available. I saw the Sgt Maj Winborn was his name at the SNCO Club that evening I was having a beer with 1st Sgt Sanders, I knew him from 1st Recon Anyway the Sgt Maj said some disparaging remarks about the Infantry and I didn’t respond respectfully I knew he had come from the band and I said something about him being a skin flute player. nothing like starting off a new job on the right foot . So I was sent to H&S Co.Special Services a Marine that had been meritoriously promoted to every rank On his third special duty ,with 15 meritorious masts,Was passing out Basketballs So what does a good Marine do I adapted and overcame l made it the best Special Services in the Corps Then about halfway through my tour a Captain came down to my area his name was Valandingham he wanted me to take over the Guard Company I asked him why he said he had a weak SNCOIC and needed me to be in charge for him Col Weed approved it so there I went.I can’t remember how long I did that job not too long a few months maybe but I was walking up to the Guard Shack one day one of my l/cpls came out of the hatch and had tears I asked him WTF and he told me that the Captain had yelled at him for something that pissed me off I went inside asked SSGT Bayless he confirmed I went in to the Captains office shut the door and informed him of the error of his ways.

I wish I were 18 so that i could join the marines like my cousins, sadly the school that I go to is AFJROTC, so when I join the marines It will be my first time seeing what it's like, I practice a bit of marine drill but it's hard when all you know is things from the air force
Ya I remember going through this crap. And surprise surprise another officer with an unsat uniform. Can't a general at least pay to have his cover squared away? I know he's making more than I did as a corporal and I was AJ Squared Away.
Its so a Marine doesn't go drive their car and get in a wreck because they didn't properly take care of their vehicle. Makes sense but definitely on the hand holding side of things.
It would take the Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of Defense or the President himself to do that considering the Commandant of the Marine Corps is a Joint Chief of Staff and very few people can tell a four star officer what to do in general.
In the '80s they'd park a totaled car at Swoop Circle at Lejuene as an example to marines of what happens if they werent careful on their drives home. Usually it was a car that involved a marine fatality.

Had a 69 70 and 71 chevelle when i went to boot camp came home to find them gone cause my mom got married to an idiot woodpecker that thought they were junk gas guzzlers cause my 70 was an ss454 and my 69 was an ss396 , 71 had a straight 6 and was the last to go after being run into the ground. If only everybodys parents made such wise decisions for their kids!! ( insert sarcasm here) then i found a yenko nova in a barn nut and bolt restored it and came home to find she sold that and thought she did great cause the guy gave her 5000.00 for it.sight unseen of course..she put yenko in the ad supposed to be better than ss yeah right..fully documented and she gave it away.. if i had half the cars i had then id be a millionaire off just cars now..
Most Mustang officers were butter bars themselves as their initial officer rank. That's why most start with the pay grade O-1E. In very limited circumstances would you see a Mustang officer start his or her officer career higher than O-1E

But there was no billit available.

I was having a beer with 1st Sgt Sanders, I knew him from 1st Recon
Anyway the Sgt Maj said some disparaging remarks about the Infantry and I didn’t respond respectfully I knew he had come from the band and I said something about him being a skin flute player. nothing like starting off a new job on the right foot .
So I was sent to H&S Co.Special Services a Marine that had been meritoriously promoted to every rank
On his third special duty ,with 15 meritorious masts,Was passing out Basketballs
So what does a good Marine do I adapted and overcame l made it the best Special Services in the Corps

his name was Valandingham he wanted me to take over the Guard Company I asked him why he said he had a weak SNCOIC and needed me to be in charge for him Col Weed approved it so there I went.I can’t remember how long I did that job not too long a few months maybe but I was walking up to the Guard Shack one day one of my

Wait..... so in the marines they force you to inspect your.....personal....vehicle.....the one you paid for and pay to maintain?????
When you join your basically there property anyway. They can search what ever tf you have and you can't fight it.
Its so a Marine doesn't go drive their car and get in a wreck because they didn't properly take care of their vehicle. Makes sense but definitely on the hand holding side of things.

What happens if the General's horn doesn't work? Does he get confined to the barracks for the holiday weekend so the Corps can keep him safe?
It would take the Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of Defense or the President himself to do that considering the Commandant of the Marine Corps is a Joint Chief of Staff and very few people can tell a four star officer what to do in general.
