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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

It pitch black and eerie silent, it was so quiet that you could hear a mouse fart. Then it dawned on 18 yr old me, the weight of reality of what we where training for could become reality. It was the same year a Soviet sub had stranded far into military restricted waters and tension was high. As I still remember that revelation, I think that marks the time when I stopped being a boy and became a man. It may sounds silly as we wasn’t in war and couldn’t be deployed in a war zone, nobody was threatening me or firing live ammo at me and after 10 months of training I would be a civilian again - still standing in a foxhole alone in pitch dark in the middle of a forest in dead silence made my mind to catch up of what we where being taught, one day could become reality.

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.

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.

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.

Our 1st sergeant enlisted as motor t. Our company commander officially ordered everyone to never give him a radio, because he couldn't talk without sounding like an idiot and would break radio etiquette, for example using real names. He would come up to us (0311s) and try asking us infantry knowledge, which we would answer, and he would try to incorrectly correct us, which we would then correct and his response was always "I'm pretty sure you're wrong, but I'll look into that and get back to you." He would never get back to us. He also told us multiple times to check under the sand bags on post, because he suspected there may be IEDs planted under them. 24/7 manned posts. Covered in c-wire. Potential IEDs. And he wanted us to check by lifting the sandbags up. When we first arrived in Iraq, he also forgot his NVGs on the plane. Then there was our fat gunny (back in the states) who would nonrec Marines for being slightly overweight, even though he never wore his blouse since it barely fit him. He'd drive his POV to the field when everyone else had to hike 10+ miles, then after a few hours he'd drive home to sleep in his bed. Constantly berating us for being "pieces of shit" sounding borderline schizo. Then he got relieved of command because he got arrested for beating his wife, drunk and disorderly conduct, and a bunch of other shit. I could continue but you get the idea.

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.

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.

Do you even know what POG means? Where did it originate from? I highly doubt it, so I'll educate you on the subject matter. POG means Personnel On Ground. And it has origins in the Air Force. An Air Force Lt. Colonel, who was a pilot, coined the unflattering term to mock, intimidate, and belittle Ground support Airman. Even Navy pilots picked up this term. Air Force Times magazine did a piece on this a few years back. Both military branches were trying to rid this toxic behavior by telling pilots to "knock it off" as it hinders the mission set of ALL service members.

No POG is P erson O ther than G runt It's always been, it'll always be. I'm a 1345 pog from 1996-2000. Rahh. My cousin and I went in together and he was a mortar man..he's a grunt..03. If your usmc mos code begins with 03, then you're a Grunt, everyone else is a pog.

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.
