"No combat ready unit has passed inspection. No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat."

YOU SHALL NOT PASS! E4 MAFIA AT THE GATE !

Simply beautiful. I'm a Brit and had a very similar experience with a chap who thought his Army title of Garrison Sergeant Major gave him some authority over a bunch of Royal Marines Commandos who'd just arrived in Camp Bastion after a month at a patrol base. We were unshaved, filthy, no rank or insignia on display and far too tired for his peacetime bullshit. We answered each of his questions/orders with "Fuck Off Pongo!" The memory of it still makes me grin.

I remember in Tall Afar Iraq I had words with the CSM of our entire Squadron. This dude was a freaking legend from the Gulf War. I was grabbing my food and came up to me and said something. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was about my facial hair, or how I was wearing my pants. Not tied up at the bottom, and just draped over my boots. Whatever he said to me, I didn't wanna hear it. I said something back to him and he got mad because I wasn't at Parade Rest. We started to have words. I was respectful but I stood my ground. All of a sudden some other Sergeant walked up and pulled the CSM to the side to say something in his ear. The CSM came back to me and asked me, "Were you on that overnight mission that just got back on base?" I responded with a " Yes Sergeant Major." He immediately told me to grab some food and get some rest. Then he walked off. Shout out to him for understanding the situation.

If Gary Busey had joined the Marines ☝️

You know that Spec 4 took pleasure in stopping that Gunnery Sergeant in his tracks.

I was in Afghanistan on FOB Delaram 2 in 2010, and there was a MSgt and an officer (I don't remember his rank) who would sit at the exit of the chow tent that you had to go through to get to the tables to sit down and eat. If he saw a haircut he didn't like, frog gear, or any other "unauthorized" uniform appearance he would personally stop the Marine/Sailor, have them dump their tray in the garbage, hand them an MRE out of the box he had next to him, and kindly tell them to get out. That same deployment my buddy saw an Army SOF operator bust up in the tent and almost throw hands with him after cursing him out so badly they went outside. We had a SOF element out of that base who got into a huge firefight and they called for a HIMARS fire mission but it got overridden or something in favor of that same MSgt's QRF going out there and stealing all the glory. In short, the QRF never made it there in time, resulting in one of the operators getting severely injured and scores of their Afghan counterparts being injured or killed.

This guy was my company first sergeant in boot camp PLT3214 I co in 17’-18’. Super intense so it’s interesting to see him now he’s retired and being so candid and laughing it up.

That "Hey! Get back here!" will never be unfunny

I had a staff Sargent who jammed everyone for walking around with their hands in their pockets on freezing cold German days. Then one day, we had formation on a very cold day. I was in the front row, and we were released after our row was inspected. I walked around the back of the formation and all the Sargents were in the last row and he had his hands in his pockets and I yelled out his name then, "Get your hands out of your pockets" and the General and other officers looked in time to see him fumble to get his hands out. I kept walking but heard something about being an example to the men. All the soldiers he had jammed were laughing at him and he was bright red. Sure the cold wind had something to do with it but I believe he was extremely embarrassed.

We had a MSgt who referred to our battery as 'the bastard step children' of the battalion. Let's just say we were a bit unruly and not quite by the book and had some disciplinary problems. During Desert Storm and the push through Kuwait in '91, we out fired and out moved all the other batteries and even performed some infantry work (small fire fights, taking prisoners, ect) and made a night move/attack through two mine fields to outflank an Iraqi position that was still functioning. We received the Navy Unit Commendation ribbon and even praise from the CO (Lt Col Stuart) and were even occasionally approached and congratulated by Marines from the other batteries.

As an 0321 man, I would get this all the time in chow halls at different areas on base. “Hey Marine, did you shave to day”? “Does it look like I’ve even shaved this week”. “Hell no, who you with”? “First reconnaissance battalion”. Silence. Mind your business.

Bro really did the ace ventura walk😅😂😂

At the Camp Wilson (29 Palms) barber shop I saw a gunny tell a Marine to get back in the chair and get a real haircut after the barber gave this guy the lowest fade possible. Said Marine laughed, grabbed his blouse from the hook, and put it on while saying "This should do just fine, Gunny". He was a Marsoc MSgt. Gunny turned the reddest I have ever seen a human.

Winter of 2001, Great Lakes. Id just graduated boot camp, and was pulling supplemental base security duty (9/11 had happened a bit prior, remember) while waiting for transfer orders to my A school, which had been delayed. Had a 2400-0600 gate watch, which I did with some Seabee E-5s. They sat in the shack with the guns while I checked IDs. Around 0400 an RDC chief pulls up for entrance into the base, having forgot his ID, but was due for duty at like 0430 and lived 45 mins away. Orders were orders though, no ID no entry. He starts yelling at me, calling me recruit and asking for my training division number, which ofc I no longer had. Anyways, as this goes on, the Seabees come out, one with the shotgun and the other with a sidearm. The one with the sidearm moseys over, rests his hand on the butt of the pistol and asks real casual like, "Is there a problem, chief?" Chief responds, much more politely, with his eyes on the Seabee's hand, that this RECRUIT is denying him entry. Seabee goes "He's not a recruit, and if you don't have an ID, you can't get in per standing orders from the CO. If you want the number for his office, I can get it for you". Chief gives up, asks me for my name and rank, which I give, tells me he'll remember me, turns around and leaves. The Seabee PO looks at me with a grin after he was out of sight and said "I bet that felt good" It did, I cant lie. Still warms my heart to this day.

My last duty station was 29 Palms. On my very last day in the Corps, I was walking to S2, S3, whatever it was called, to get my last sign off before EAS. I had a SgtMaj stop me on the side walk to point out that I was unshaven. I held up my paperwork, and told him that this was my no shave chit, and walked on. He was pissed, but I had a huge grin.

Those types of people (SGMs) have no place in a combat zone. The biggest piece of shit I ever knew was the sergeant major who walked around and checkd to make sure guys were compliant with their uniforms in a combat zone. What a waste.

The hairs of your moostache are in violation. POLICE THAT MOOSTACHE!!! 😂

That mock head-bobbing walk kills me. 😆

Lotta people don’t realize rank and authority are not the same thing.

I like this guy he’s a sick fucker… love that insane smile

Did something similar to a major. I was in a classified building and some major wanted to go in without clearance so I told him no and went inside and hung out in the security office for a few minutes while multiple Marines badged in and told him no. He was very not happy but eventually he came back a few months later and told me I did a good job not letting him in. Validation 100

2014 I did this to a Sargent major. But it wasn’t over how I looked. The Sargent major had a LT behind him. So I saluted. My salute went up, the LT’s salute went up. She put her hand down, I dropped my salute. But the Sargent major thought he had eyes in the back of his head because he started yell that I dropped my salute first. He started this whole take me to your command. Well I was on a camp with that you had to have a badge to get in. He got left at the gate.

Was deployed to an outpost in Khost Province in 2012. This was a small outpost with only 90 active servicemembers running missions and operating the guard towers. A helicopter landed one day and I was filling the generators with fuel. One of the soldiers from the heli was my friend from high school! I ran up to him and said,"Hey, Eric! How's it going!?" We hadn't seen each other since high school. He was a lieutenant at the time and I was a specialist. The NCO assigned to him ran up to me and started losing his SHIT about how informally I addressed an officer, but Eric quickly assured him that it was fine. We both had rough deployments that year, and it was a blessing to run into an old friend from high school.

Biggest douche indicator "it's Gunnery Sergeant" instant that gets said there's no longer any respect

Always loved coming back from a long patrol to have a SNCO yell at me. Sorry you missing the war Gunny all tucked away and safe.

That reminds me of what a marine did at cherry point. While at the PX a Marines uniform was all sorts of jacked up. A Major stopped him and started reaming him. At the end he asked what unit he was with and the marine replied "Wait you don't realize who I am sir?" the officer said "How the hell am i supposed to know who you are?" The marine dropped everything and sprinted out the door, through the parking lot and out of sight. I just about pissed myself laughing.

Saw a major try and stop some guys at the Bagram PX. He asked which guy was in charge , one of em just said the one with the biggest beard.

The best part is that we all have hundreds of these stories. My wife rolls her eyes whenever we (the guys I served with) get together and someone says "remember when Pvt.Snuffy did XYZ" The REALLY best part is the stories we recount when the wifes AREN'T around.

The amount of knife hands i recieved by random ass Gunnies and 1st SGTs from POG units after coming back from multi-week long patrols without having shaved or gotten a hair cut. Good times.

I remember i was in africa attached to a unit as a AF cook, said hello to a major and kept it pushing on my rounds, he stopped me and asked why i did salute him told him we were in auster zone, not excatly combat but all the same rule bc it could become a shit show out of nowhere for any half assed reason. he asked me why i looked like i hadnt shaved in 2 months and i said my clippers broke the internets been garbage for a month and the barber had been mia for the last 2.5 months along with the clipper i ordered from amazon somehow showing up broken the last 2 times so i wasnt gona waste money ordering a 3rd . he the saluted a colonel who promptly came up shook my hand asked me if i was making the ribs for dinner(i said yes), thanked me for my hard work and then politely told me to leave so he could inquire as to why a major was saluting on base in an auster zone when there were signs up that said the entire base was a no salute zone. the colonel was a special tactics before becoming a pilot and then base commander.

We had a Regimental Sergeant Major who was a colossal dick who decided to challenge two soldiers he deemed to be ‘scruffy’ everyone except him knew and we were cringing even before he stormed over to them. After he said his piece they smiled at him and walked away without a word leaving him red faced not sure what to do next. They were SAS. It was us that suffered for it but it was worth it 😀.

I remember in Iraq in 2003 waking up to mortar fire and small arms fire at 3 in the morning. I get up to go return fire and was yelled at later by SGM for not having my boots tied and blouse. That's when I decided not to reenlist. Stupid rules in a life or death situation.

I remember a story about an AF support officer giving the spec ops guys a hard time about not wearing a hat while on base(they all had full beards, had been out running ops for several weeks. The officer said “hey where’s your cover?” The guy just looked at him and said “I don’t know, how about I take your fuckin hat”. Dude just looked at him and started stuttering.

I was in Ramadi in 2005 with the army but it was a marine base and I was walking to the shower shed in flip flops, board shorts and a tank top when a marine LT stopped me looking like he was going to have a heart attack and he asked me where did I think I was on spring break and I replied not under your command and told him if he had a problem he could talk to my PLT LDR who was currently sunning himself while wearing Bahama shorts. He just stormed off shaking his head muttering to himself lol

Got confronted by a Infantry SFC at the Shoppette after doing a Landnav course with Group. He got pissed because I had a OCP Woobie Hoodie with Tactical Pants un bloused and Loah Boots… he confronts me and says is that in regs, I responded with this was my uniform for training today… he proceeds to get emotional & Pissy with me before I can even tell him what the training was for or that it was my approved uniform for the day. I politely told him have a great day and I walked away as he became more disgruntled.

We were in Kuwait around an Air Force base like a month before it all kicked off, right before we went forward. We were going to their version of a "PX" for snacks and shit. We asked our Guns if there was anything he wanted. He said yeah, some body wash and a loofah if they have it. We weren't going to see showers again for a long awhile. Fucking Air Force base had toilet cleaner and a toilet brush. We bought that instead as a joke, and put it in his tent with all the other Staff NCO's. When they all got back to their tent, they were busting him hard. Then we showed up with his real request. He took it in stride like a Champ. Greatest Enlisted man I ever served under. However, the E-4 Mafia is real.

Dude it snowed here at Lejeune one year when I had my diesel truck. I was a Sgt at the time. I would drive around and charge people $50 to pull them out. Its either $50 to me or $100 for the tow truck. This Gunny was stuck and he was in civies. I stopped and introduced myself and made the offer. He asked my rank and I told him Sgt. He was like "oh well im a Gunnery Sergeant. You're going to pull me out." I was like oh! Well let me see your ID to prove it. He showed me his ID, CAC chip and all and I chucked it into the woods and drove off.

I was a Army MSG(E8) in Bosnia in the 90s, serving with a Special Ops Unit. We had our on compound on a larger base ran by regular division (maybe 1st CAV? IDR)...I went to their HQ to talk to their logistics NCO that I had met only once the day before, and he was in civilian clothes at the time. He didn't give me his name, only his call sign: "Big O". Inside the building I introduced myself to some young captain (O-3) with a scowl and a stick up his ass and asked where I could find the log NCO. He said, "What's his name?" I said I didn't know, but that he was about 5'10", lean build, gold tooth in the front, nice guy, and he was black. The captain came unglued and jumped up and screamed at me with a red face, "I don't know who you think you are, Master Sergeant! We don't see black and white, we only see green!!!" Without batting an eye, I said, "Ok, then he's the dark green one." His face got so red I thought he was going to have a stroke. Then I hear loud laughter coming from an office behind him and a colonel comes out and tells the captain to go take a coffee break and that he would deal with me. The colonel waited until the door closed and said, "That is the funniest shit I have ever heard in my career!" I told him I didn't mean anything bad by saying that the guy was black, as I couldn't have cared less. It was just part of the description of wht the guy looked like. The colonel said he knew what I meant and that the junior officers these days (1998) were so beta and politically correct that they'd lost all common sense.

Funniest interaction I ever saw as a marine was on a ship at night. Basically got caught being somewhere we shouldn't have been doing something we shouldn't have (nothing weird, just illegal) Navy guy was a deck above shines his light on us "wtf you doing" without missing a beat my buddy goes "you have any idea who tf you talking too" Guy goes "no sir" Buddy say "good" and runs to the door to the inside of the ship. Took me like 3 seconds to realize what happened and follow. Thank God that navy guy was slower than me figuring it out. My buddies nickname was the Teflon don bc aint nothing stick to that man. Got away with everything.

I had a similar experience on camp hansen in Okinawa. I was with 3rd recon on camp schwab we had low boot blouses gunny rolls and low regs I was walking across the grass to the Px stopped put my hands in my pockets and started bullshitting with my buddy.. a first sergeant came up and said hey marine. I ignored him cause the base was full of marines how do I know hes talking to me... he finally came close enough was about to chew me out for walking on the grass and having my hands in my pockets looking like a shitbag but before he did he asked what unit I was with... i said recon and he said have a good day marine and walked off hahaha😅😂😅😂 true story

This dude is the man. His impression of Gunny's walk up to him is so good. I want to have like 10 beers with this guy. You just love guys like this that were seemingly made for conflict and being able to handle high levels of trauma, with hardly any effect. Every military needs guys like this, if for nothing else than keeping morale high.

My brother served on the Roosevelt, and said there were a couple SEAL teams that would come and go, weeks at a time, this was during Serbia. He stated the everyone just stayed out of their way, up to and including the Captain.

Had a 1stSgt tell me I was a disgrace to the NCO core in Kandahar 2002 because I came in off two a day two a night patrols and hadn’t shaved. lol some guys just take all the fun out of war.

I remember those kind of experiences from my active duty days 69 -72. Some things seem to never change.

Great story. I love the garrison vs combat world experience.

E4 Mafia: may not always be there when you call, but they’re always on time.

Our battalion SGM rode around, with his psd team all day, yelling at dudes for not wearing eye pro or gloves. Never went outside the wire...

You Sir, are one fine American

I was in SOCFWD-CA coming off a weeklong mission for observant compass. We are all coming off the helicopter and are being met by the CSM. A couple of CCTs are there with us with long beards. The CSM tells them both they need to stop what they are doing and go shave. One hands the CSM a bag and says, here hold this. Then says, I don’t work for you, and they both walk away.

I was assigned to a Seabee battalion in the late '90s. All battalions have a Marine Gunnery Sgt. who act as an advisor for their combat training. Our Gunnery Sgt. was the most laid-back Marine I ever met. He had a great sense of humor and knew how to have fun while training. The first thing he showed me during my first field exercise was how to make an MRE bomb out of a plastic soda bottle. I think the Marines probably sent him to the Bees as punishment, but he clearly loved the assignment.

I recall being deployed and first interaction with SEALS, and in the back of head is the thought “are these guys really in the military or are they pulling my leg?”

Whenever we saw the brigade SGM roaming around, we would hide in the SCIF since he didn't have access.

This guy just described one of the reasons why retaining quality military is in decline. It’s because quality leadership has been in decline for a long time.

Had a Army Sgt first class, also a Drill Sgt. About 20 U.S. marines were eating and hes yelling at us because we were in his platoons way of eating, telling other marines to get up and get out, etc etc. Marine Sgt sees what’s going on and confronts the Sgt first class, they both start arguing and the marine strips the rank off of the guys blouse and then a Marine Major shows up and starts fighting the Drill Sgt. Major gets in the dudes face and the Drill sgt is now then standing parade rest and the sgt is flipping off the Sgt first class behind the major.

I had a friend that was killed in a car accident. We went to his funeral on base, and my commander was a captain. He was there and was checking hair cuts and uniforms. I was a short termer only had a couple weeks left, i said to him our friend died and your checking hair cuts, you're a piece of shit. Well My last day he walks up to me and said your going to march the troops before you get to leave, so I marched them into a bunch of parked cars. Everyone laughed, totally pissed him off 😅😅😅

That 'lookin sharp' with the facing movements was hilarious 😂

That “have a good day Gunny!!” Got me stomping laughing!

When ‘Have a good day Gunny’ really means f*ck off!

Always those dudes. Was at a chow hall in the green zone fresh off an op and dirty, just grab and go..I’m an O3 with a HK team and SGM talking about how dirty we are. I kindly said we’re leaving SGM, he had the mouth and someone I knew walked up and said SGM, that’s TF 1-45. STFU! Best moment of that deployment!

Used to have a SgtMaj that would hang outside the PX and the chow hall and make sure people in civvies were wearing belts. He also instructed PMO to write tickets to people who came on base without a fresh shave that way they’d have to report into him the next morning. These type of people have to stay in because there’s no world for them on the outside.

Haha! I was walking with another Lance Cooley on a sandy base when an Army Captain walks by. Without breaking stride we both say “good morning sir.” He immediately loses his mind and starts his self indulgent tirade all to tell us that he needs a salute to feel like he didn’t make the wrong decision by not opting for the Corps. Eventually we tell him that our standing orders are never to render a salute when we’re in theater, regardless of who we might offend. Who the hell gave you those bullsh*t orders?” Well, he was so focused on his feelings, that he didn’t notice our company CO (Major) and our battalion CO (full bird) in our wake, who stood back and watched the whole thing. Well up walks the brass, Army Cap tries to salute, then the fireworks began. Ever so briefly we put our hands in our pockets and say “have a good morning sir” and exit stage right. Our officers caught up with us a few mikes later… Pretty epic.

I was attached to the Russian Airborne Brigade in Bosnia as a Civil Affairs Officer (O-3) and I was helping to translate for the Russians at a weapons demo they invited one the American units to. Had some shitass LTC get upset with me because I had the black under layer on, SOCOM issued, regular units still had just brown thermals. He ranted about me being out of uniform and walked away. One of the Russian LTCs came up and asked what’s wrong, I explained, he offered to deal with our guy and I said it’s ok. Then I told the Russian LTC it’s a good thing he didn’t have me unzip my under-layer, had my blue and white telnyashka, that they gave me on. We both started laughing. There’s good people everywhere in the world and then we’ve got assholes that rely on someone else’s rules to create false respect. POGs in the military and politicians (elected and ticket punchers) on the outside.

"It's gunnery sergeant" never portends anything but misery 😂

Dyin over here😂 Ain’t got that plastic to get in the cool kids club there huh gunny?!🤣🤣

Guess there’s a Frank Burns in every unit.

This happens alot.The Special Ops guys would have long hair,beards and would dress in civilian clothes.An A-Hole Sargent would confront them and the Special Forces guys would just laugh it off.

This is real humor

SGMs need to f-off in combat zones. I was on a small SF camp in Helmand with a SF group (gonna keep that info to myself) in 2016. We had no PX, no barbers and at more times than not, no resupply. We had to take chinooks to BAF sometimes just to be able to get haircuts (maybe a total of 5 times in 9 months). We had some prick SGM walk right up to us as we were offloading from the bird and began to scold us for not being presentable. Thank god we had some of the group guys with us. As we were sitting there at parade rest, an E-6 group guy walked right up to that SGM and casually said “Wrong pond little fish” turned to us and told us to follow him. Though sometimes SF guys can be assholes, they will stick up for anyone that needs it.

This guy was my company 1stSgt in boot camp back in 2019, 1stSgt Parkes! He’s a real badass and was also in the “Boot camp during 9/11” video on the Marines official page

Dude smiles through the entire interview. Clearly loved his job.

I was on this deployment with him. He is hilarious. Hope you doing well bro!

When the 101 took over command of Al Assad from the marines, I got hit by a SMG for PTing (runnning on the sidewalk in PT gear) with no PT belt. lol

Had one of those spit and polish Marines in my company in Vietnam. One night as we were about to go out on patrol, my squad leader was going over where we were headed and our place in the patrol unit, and where we would bivouac for the night. I look up on this small mount, there is this staff sergeant, fresh from Parris Island as a head DI. With hands on his hips, he tells the corporal, "Belay all of that I will talk to you in the Morning." Even the Vietnamese kids around our compound couldn't stand this guy. His very first firefight, and the DI came unglued.

Yeah that’s Kandahar….In 2009 I got chased down by an Army 04 because my Uniform had a big tear down the back. I had just got in from a mission and had no spare. Dude had cologne on and a PX bag full of candy. Looked straight through him and said “I’m squared away sir”

“Unfuck yourself Marine”-says the POG Staff NCO to someone in the field

He’s very happy to be a Marine! I’m a USMC veteran myself and I was very serious about everything when we got deployed

If Seals, MARSOC, SF, CAG, and even Ranger batt can get relaxed grooming standards and be extremely combat effective, then any Gunney/SGM/1st Sgt who has a problem with it needs to have their power stripped.

There’s an Afghan out there somewhere still having nightmares about that smile!

His impersonation is priceless... 😂😅

We all had similar incidents at that px. If it was the same one (I was there in 04). It was right next to the wash down area where we'd clean humvees after being out doing grunt shit. Never failed, you'd be dirty, smelly, and disgusting from very obviously being outside of the wire and just want to grab something cold for you and your boys to drink when some polished pog would be in there jumping your sht like you were on base at Lejeune.

Was doing a ruck march for PT one morning and saw two 5th Group guys, one an E-7, the other is an E-6. I was 101st at the time, and our division CSM seen them and high-tailed it over to them. They'd been ruck-marching for PT as well and had their patrol caps kicked back, longish hair, and hands in their pockets. Division CSM started yelling at them and the -6 looked to the other guy and said, "hey Bob, who the fuck is this guy? Bob was like, not a clue, but if he has an issue, he can go see the Group CSM. They kept walking and the 101st CSM finally gave up after looking around and seeing he was drawing a crowd with his whining... I turned around and best feet in the opposite direction so i didn't get caught in his line of sight as I'm laughing at his dumb ass...

Always hated those guys that had nothing better to do than to break balls in a combat zone..... All I care about is for guys to be combat ready: clean rifle, full canteens, gear set up and taped ( minimize sound ) and ready for whatever mission we had.... As for the guys with beards, I made it a point to make friends with them.....

I was Haircrew in the Navy. We would go for 4 months or so without a haircut. Our pilots would always defend us, because they didn't want to get haircuts either.

The stories, the positive attitude and last but not least, THAT shirt...Its Sam Axe in real life!

This guy is like Gary Busey and Jim Carrey's love child

Had a similar experience as an Army PFC at the gate. An ODA dude from 1st group went for a run on BAF and got stopped by some CSM from the 101st right in front of the camp gate. There was some back and forth between them which I was too far to hear and then the ODA guy just takes off quick flashes us his badge to come on so we let him through as he passes shouts “FUCK YOU FAT ASS” to the CSM who then comes waddling up demanding we let him on but of course didn’t have the special badge needed so we turned him away. To which he tried to get in MY ass and began yelling at me until a member of the 3 letter agency we were working for calmly stepped out of the gate, walked the the man away while talking to him and patted him on the shoulder before the now sad CSM dropped his head and walked away.

My dad was in the Army in WW2. He was a surgical nurse/medic in the Philippines. Well they got a new officer..a 90 day wonder (OCS school for 3 months) and tried to pull rank and rules on them. This was a hospital unit. It was much more like a hospital state side. Well, they got this guy drunk one night, and after he passed out, lifted his mosquito netting for about 15 mins, enough to get the entire bed area filled with bugs, and then put it back down, so the bugs were trapped. Sure enough...BOOM ...Malaria. Bad enough to get him evaced to Hawaii. LOL!!

His imitation of an ate-up high-ranked NCO is fantastic. I can see the guy in my head; I knew so many of them. 😂

He is brilliant. I love how happy he is.

he executed the Ace Ventura walk lol 😂

I love how this guy is so happy after experiencing war

Everyone and their mother hates pogs like that gunny

Even over in Afghanistan there’s always that one Gunny that’s a complete tool

My Army National Gaurd Sgt Major tried to make a uniform correction on a Marine NCO in Iraq. The Marine talked to his Sgt Major. The Marine Sgt Major chewed out the National Guard Sgt Major.

Oh man I had a similar experience once. I was LRS and our unit was getting to roll out and some random smaj tried to stop us freaking out about how "out of regs" we were. Our 1SG told him to go eff himself and mind his own business. Fun times

All that hoorah bullshit has no place in a combat zone. Keep those coffee drinkers in the admin office and not in the field.

There are so many people like that Gunnery Sergeant. They tried to stop a bunch of us and Iraq for not wearing name tapes and rank. As if that’s the biggest thing going on at that moment.

ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

Dude tells comical stories and combat stories with the same energy Makes my heart smile 'Rah fellow Misguided Child
