View Full Version : MSG Duty Marines

Looking for anyone here who has done or is in the process of doing MSG duty. I heard not too long ago there was a MARADMIN out for MSG Marines, hurting for them or some such thing. Anyways, looking into it and its something I'd rather do sooner than later. I don't plan on re-enlisting and wanna get as many different experiences as I can while I'm in.
Yes, I know someone just ruffled their nose at someone wanting to do a B-Billet without re-enlisting. I want to travel and experience different things and get the TS Clearance. Alternatively I might be going to HMX 1, so I'd get a TS Clearance there too. I want to do some sort of law enforcement when I get out, preferably state but I wouldn't mind federal either. Government jobs really are the only sure thing anymore.
I was hoping someone could enlighten me as to who to speak to in order to get the package put together and what they thought about their experience doing it. So far I've heard nothing but good things about it but have only talked to a handful of people. The one common theme seems to be that its the ONLY B-Billet where Marines don't call it a waste of 3 years. Also, it's the only one I can do as a LCPL (what I'll be when I leave New River). I'm a 46 Avi Technician, and sometime during my enlistment they're going to want to transfer me to Ospreys, and months more of schooling just doesn't appeal to me, I've had enough of this gay student status crap. If I can get into MSG before whatever squadron I'm with tries to transition, I can probably bang out the 3 years and EAS and not have to worry about learning a new bird and spending 5 months back here in Jacksonville. Learning what wires go where, what this relay does, which DC bus supplies power to this system, etc.
Something to keep in mind, you have to be within 100 points of picking up Cpl for your MOS to be eligible. Just being a LCpl doesn't make it automatic.
I've had enough of this gay student status crap
MSG Marines go to school too.
Everything else I'll defer to Commdog, she knows all about this MSG stuff.

That doesn't make any sense. You can do it if you're E-2 through E-8, why would I need to be within 100 points of making CPL?

You can submit a package as a Pfc. if your command lets you go and you graduate from the school you are meritoriously promoted to Lance. The MSG recruiter was here not too long ago. Should have went but I want to do this next pump and probably make MSG my B-billet. My 1stSgt was MSG and all he has is good stories from it. Try for it, and push it as hard as you can.

I thought that ultimately it was up to your MOS monitor and the MSG selection team, not your command? I hope it's not up to them, they're going to want me to stay regardless.

Some info for you:
Eligibility Requirements
Must be in the rank (http://www.leatherneck.com/od/theorderlyroom/l/blenlrank.htm) of E-2 through E-8.
Must be a U.S. Citizen (http://www.leatherneck.com/od/theorderlyroom/a/citizenship.htm).
Must be eligible for a Top Secret security clearance (http://www.leatherneck.com/cs/generalinfo/a/security.htm).
Must have one year time on station (waiverable).
Must have an ASVAB " GT Score (http://www.leatherneck.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/asvab.htm) " of 90 or above (waiverable). Those who have a GT score of less than 90 are encouraged to retake the ASVAB (http://www.leatherneck.com/cs/joiningup/a/asvababcs.htm).
Must have no tattoos visible in uniform.
Must meet Marine Corps weight and fitness standards (http://www.leatherneck.com/od/marines/a/marweight.htm).
Must have no record of Nonjudicial Punishment (http://www.leatherneck.com/od/justicelawlegislation/a/article15.htm) within the last year.
Marines in the rank of E-5 and below must be single, with no dependents. However, those Marines who have children but are not the primary care takers are not immediately disqualified (i.e. paying child support or alimony is not an immediate disqualifier). E-6s and above may have up to four dependants to include spouses.
Upon selection, Marines attend the Security Guard School at Quantico, VA. The MSG school conducts five class sessions per year training more than 450 Marines.
Upon graduation from MSG school, Marines in the rank of E-5 or below are assigned as standard security guards or "‘watch standers." These Marines then serve three separate year-long tours, one of which will likely be a hardship post in a third world country.
Marines in the rank of E-6 and above are assigned as detachment commanders and are operationally responsible to the ambassador or appointed delegates. They serve two, 16-month tours and can bring dependants along. Each tour is served in one of nine regions.
For more information, or to apply, see your Career Retention Specialist (CRS) and inform him/her that you are interested in becoming a Marine Security Guard.
Note: Your command cannot deny your request to MSG duty. They simply make a recommendation. They still have to submit your package through your Career Retention Specialist. HQMC has the only say as to whether you will receive orders. If someone in your command refuses to let you submit a package, make sure you get it in writing, then contact the MSG Security Screening Team at: (703) 784 4861.
I served at the American Embassy Panama (79-80).

Really? I guess I had bad scoop. I stand corrected.
just so you know, it doesn't count as a b-billet until you are a Sgt... b-billets are for Sgts and above to put on their fitness reports... so you guys can call it a special duty assignment.
STW... you hate school, you already want to get out of the Corps... I'd say you should just smoke dope and get kicked out... I'm pretty sick of hearing your crap about how you get treated poorly, millions of people before you have done what you're doing, they didn't cry like they rate something.... YOU ARE LEARNING YOUR JOB deal with it.
they way it's looking the 46's will be around until you are out... and chances are you'll have OJT and not go back to school... but that's from my MT maint perspective

I was definitely thinking about bringing up the same point on how all the other threads I have seen started by this Marine, have been whining and complaining about how hard his life is and wanting to...
well, don't forget how he talks about how he knows how everything works too.... and yes is still in school status.
then he's talking about wanting to go MSG, like he can just skip the FMF and go on a special duty assignment....

I wonder how many SSgt's you vomit on like that in person
wow... and I'm not making you stay in the Corps either, so stop complaing about it... just like you're subtly trying to tell me not to complain about your posts....
you need to learn your place in the Corps before you really have a voice on how it sucks... when you mention how you hate school status, as I said before... millions before you. You're not special... you are ordered to learn that MOS, follow said orders to the best of your ability.
you are worrying too much about the future... re-read my last paragraph if you can't accept that statement.
I'm glad you want MSG, but to do it just to escape something you haven't even experienced yet is idiotic... so please, stop sounding ignorant.
now, as for the getting kicked out comment, I'm to blame by changing words around... but you sure seem in a hurry to get out when you just got in... tells me that your current personality may not be in-line with being a Marine and you're getting heat for it... or you think your training is a waste of time...
EDIT: @ yut... none... he grows balls online. He'd hate it if I was one of his instructors though.
and in person I'd probably deal with him just as I am now... calm and calculated... but he wouldn't listen.

Yeah I'm pretty dang sure I read a thread started by you a few months back, on looking for ways to be discharged for a mental condition cause you can't even hack it in MOS school, and I'm pretty sure...

Internet tough guys. Hilarious. Especially when they're junior.
they think they can't get charged with this... when in fact they can... I find it humorous.... there one Marine on these forums I know of who is dealing with that issue right now.... funny thing is...

Wrong, and dead wrong. I was seeking advice on a mental condition and was worried about seeking help cause I thought I would get kicked out. <br />

Putting words in a mans mouth, the last refuge for...
so PFC, did you read my last post? you're saying I am a resorting to the last refuge for a man with no answers?
how bout you shut you suck and go bother others.
you joined the Marine Corps for a reason, I'm curious what that reason was... I stayed in 'cause I love it... what's keeping you from loving it?
HAHAHAHA, Im sorry but it is absolutely awesome to be a fly on the wall for this one!!!!!!!
A Master Sergeant, and very good friend of mine, used to say "it's all about life choices."
I'd be interested to hear your reason for joining, too. No one made you enlist in the Marines. You made that choice.

Saying the lcpl was, twisting my words to make an argument.
EDIT: What keeps anyone from loving their job? Dad has worked as a set up man on CNC machines for over 25 years, hates it more than anything, but he still does it cause he has to. It's not for everyone. Just doesn't interest me like I thought it would. But without going there's no way to ever learn, is there? So yes, you can say I signed the contract, but so what? If I didn't then I never would have known what it's like. I did, now I'm figuring it out, and eventually I'll move on. I've always wanted to do law enforcement. But I might hate that too. Never know till you try. But you don't always have a choice. Sometimes you have to do things because its required, be it to support your wife, raise a child, keep a roof over your head. **** happens.

I know I'll appreciate it once I'm done. It's like PT, I hate going out and running 5 miles but once its over I know I accomplished something. I just don't see things the same way the lifers do. Or...
Suck at school, get to Cali and suck at whatever it is you do.
Then they won't mind loosing you to MSG duty.
Problem solved. You're welcome.
Oh, and you better believe what people say about being held accountable for things you say here. I personally experienced it, and it involved a MSgt, a Sgt Maj, and THE Sgt Maj!
...so, just watch yourself.
so you know... just because we have embassies doesn't mean they have to guarded by Marines... Thought you should know.
with 202,000 Marines... I'm sure they'll get the number they need.
as for this statement... "I don't agree with the leadership in this country or the things people are allowed to do. I used to want to do this because I thought of it as some noble deed, being altruistic. But I realized most, not all, but most of this country just doesn't really care. They like to pull up to McDonalds, order their Big Mac and be on their way. And as long as they can do that, they don't give a **** about anything else that goes on around them."
one, you can vote the leadership out, if you feel you have no control then you have awoke to the bitter truth... I guess you took the red pill.
as for the people of this country, yes... the majority of the nasty civilians couldn't care less about NK blowing up some harmless country with a nuke... until after it's done then they blame everyone.... but there are people who believe in what we do. I was on a plane from jacksonville, NC when I talked to a former Marine... nam vet, we had a good chat the entire way... after he got up to leave the plane the wife who I didn't realize was sitting behind him the whole time thanked me... apparently he's got some generative joints... and he hasn't walked unassisted for the last two years until he just got off the plane... she had tears in her eyes and gave me a big hug.
They care not because of what we do, but of what we have become... upstanding citizens who don't ignore the old guys, the people in need... we go out of our way to help people and we don't dress like some hoodlum.... that's why they respect us.
One day you might understand what I'm talking about but I don't think you want to.
There is no way a boot PFC/LCpl will get rec'd for MSG duty.
My command is putting non-recs for MSG for:
LCpl's who haven't deployed
PFCs (I don't even think a PFC is dumb enough to apply)
LCpls/Cpls/Sgts without enough TIS to fulfill the obligation who don't reenlist.
He meets all 3 of these categories.
yup... the Corps isn't going to like non-combat vets going to MSG...
the idea was to have Marines who aren't boots, have a record in the FMF and have maturity and respect... MSG is a very high profile SDA.
even with the need like STW said... out of 202k... I'm sure they're gonna have enough by october.

Commdoggie is here.
There are many threads on this already, I will not be answering anymore petty 'requirement' questions. Post a question specifically pertaining to the duty itself and I will answer it. Career planners can answer all other questions you may have.
This thread is as funny as some of the Poolee threads, was it started by a Poolee???
I do not know about MSG today but my good friend was MSG for Ambasador Graham Harrell in Viet Nam and they just about did not get out of the Country. In fact , I believe two of them died in place protecting the place. ( my friend was PSG ) which I believe was a part of MSG.
Smadge
StoneTheWeak,
Well, if you are looking for some info, I will give you a few tidbits.
First of all, you will need to be in the FMF for at least 2 yrs.
Second, you will need to be freekin squared-away AT ALL TIMES. This includes you uniform, attitude, etc. Your wall locker better be ****-HOTT with no irish pennants, NONE, or you will FAIL! You better have all your gear for an inspection, marked, folded within the requirements, etc.
Third, you should be scoring a 1st class PFT.
Fourth, you will need to be and show that you are a resposible MARINE.
Fifth, your record better be clean because they will check.
Sixth, if all of these are in order, go talk to your SNCOIC of your shop, he should be able to guide you in the proper direction, which you will in the end be talking to the SgtMaj.
Attitude is everything, the Desire will get you there.
As for my experience as an MSG, it was tha $hit!! It was probably one of the best duties besides being a US MARINE! Awesome duty!! :iwo:

Here's a question.
Other than the "hardship" post or whatever, how are the other two ? Is it like, one that's ****ing awesome, and ones that's generally alright, or like, you pick one and the other isn't bad but you don't get to pick it. Just curious.

Wow.....just....wow.....
STW.....if you EVER talked to me like you did SSgt Petzold, I may get busted or go to the Brig, but I guarantee you you would have a mouth full of Chicklets....you need to learn respect and humility....
We had a PFC like you in one of our equipment platoon's.....he had a "accident" (clumsy PFC), but amazingly, he was one of our best performers and best Marine's after that day....
About every post I've read on here from you is you whining about your situation, how unfair it all is, whatever...deal with it or get out...pretty simple....from your posts here you are nowhere near adult enough or responsible enough to handle the assignment. I've seen sh!t-hot Marine's dropped from the program as Cpl's and Sgt's.
MSG, from a Career Planner perspective, is the most difficult Special Duty Assignment to get a Marine.....the process in very involved, multi-stepped, and the security portion will drive you absolutely insane dealing with....and the MSG Monitor does not have a sense of humor and will give out a non-compliance message in a heartbeat.
"Upon graduation from MSG school, Marines in the rank of E-5 or below are assigned as standard security guards or "‘watch standers." These Marines then serve three separate year-long tours, one of which will likely be a hardship post in a third world country."
That is what I am talking about.

You are not guaranteed to have 1 hardship and 2 good posts. Some Marines get 3 good posts and some (like me) get 2 hardship posts. Occassionally a Marine might end up with 3 hardship posts, it happens.
You get a wish list, but your assignment is based on the needs of the Corps. You got a better chance of getting the post you want when you are leaving your 1st or 2nd post.

I'd say you should just smoke dope and get kicked out...
Or just tell your 1st Sgt. that you take it up the *ss every weekend. Just get it over; you hate the Marine Corps, so go home. Then you can post with those idiots over at ihatethemarinecorps.com
that reminded me to go laugh at the posts there... it's a pity party!!
"Okay, so I've been in the Corps for damn near forever (went to boot camp in 2006). I wanna kill myself every single day my ****ing alarm goes off because I know it's just gonna be another day of bull**** and ****ing over the PFC (third award- no ****). Where do I begin? How about with the SSgt that doesn't know **** about his job always trying to tell me to get out of the smoke pit and get back to work. Allow me to add, I never smoked before I joined the Marine Corps- thanks Marines for that habit! I never was a fan of drinking until the Marine Corps either, now I have what the counseling center calls an "alcohol dependency" issue. Thanks again Marine Corps! I got my first DUI in MOS school. Who's ****ing idea was it to have a school in Pensacola anyway? Once again, the Marine Corps setting us up for failure! It's like they want me to drink and drive! What's even more bull**** is that I only blew a .16 when some Corporal **** blew a .23 the same night and got 15 days less restriction than me! Thanks again Marine Corps for treating me unfair. And don't get me started on the piece of **** gate guard that made me take the breathalyzer just because he was ****ed he had to work during a 96. They need to be out catching the drunk drivers causing accidents and killing innocent people and not ****ing with me, minding my own business making it back to base fine. So then I get to the fleet- and the ****ing me over continued. I got this SSgt always in my ****. He thinks he knows so ****ing much about our job when I am constantly having to correct him on simple ****. Everytime we have downtime he expects me to read a book off the gay Marine Corps Reading List or do a faggoty-ass MCI. Then he has the balls to yell at me when I'm in the smoke pit with my friends. That **** is embarrassing and he doesn't even care. That brings me to my second NJP. This cock sucker ****ed with the wrong guy too long. Tell me if you think this is funny? Me and one of my buddies decided to take a screw out of the bottom of my SSgt's chair so when he sat down is fell apart. Well he got all butt hurt cause he tore his ACL when he fell and ****ing ratted me out to the SgtMaj. I told the SgtMaj that I didn't do it alone and my buddy was a part of it too but those ass holes only NJPed me- for assault! Thanks again Marine Corps for singling me out! Now you wanna hear the most ****ed up part of all this? Now I'm pending Admin Sep and a ****ing summary court martial because I had like the smallest trace amount of meth in my system. Not even enough to matter in a real court but of course in the ****ing Marine Corps it's enough to burn me at the stake. So now after giving three years of my life to this ****ed up institution, they are just gonna throw me to the wolves and kick me out! **** them and, once again, thanks a lot Marine Corps!"

Please tell me that is a freaking joke. That person needs to go to TJ, and stay there. You deserve whatever you get.
Tell us some stories! I'm curious.
I will tell you a few stories rolled into 1, so break out the popcorn and pop smoke. These are just plain BAD and could have gone straight to WORSE!!
I hope I can say some of this stuff now since I am out so..... however I will save the best for last!! :-)
After leaving my first post in Brasilia, Brazil (OMFG, the WOMEN), I went to Colombo Sri Lanka. Just to iterate, our MARINE house had 3 floors, all marble, huge outdoor swimming pool, volleyball court, full bar, weightroom, basketball court, etc. The house was crazy!!
OK, back to Lanka land (that's what we called it), they were and are still fighting a Holy War over there so it was completely crazy. We had night-time curfews for the first 2 months I was there because the LTTE were walking down the streets strapped with explosives and walking into restaurants, stores, etc and BOOM!! We actually saw one dude run into a restaurant across the street from the Embassy and we saw it blow up on camera. People were fuggin flying out windows and $hit.
On another incident, ( this is a No $hitter ), a guy was running for political office who the LTTE did not like, he was on an outdoor stage giving a speech and a little lady walked down the aisle as if she was going to sit down, right. So, she got close to the stage where the candiate was and fuggin BOOOOM!! The place was a bloodbath, they found this dude's fuggin head on the top of the office building along with other bodyparts.
Ok devil dogs, don't ridicule me to death on this one, ok. I was a young, lean mean, crazy fuggin fighting machine, ya know. Well, all of us in our detachment was. Prepare yourselves, i'm leaving out names and dates to protect the innocent!! :D
Anyway, we had 7 MARINES in our detachment in Lanka land. Well, every 4 months before we would go out and party (after the curfew was lifted), we would go to the RSO's house and get somewhat hammered before going to the club. The RSO was not married and a former MARINE so u can see where I am going here. Anyway, the RSO had a big plush chair in his house with a board behind it with all these names on it. Well, what we would do is drink and party and ask our fellow MARINES if we all trust each other and would stick together no matter what and of course, the answer was HELL YEAH! So, we would take turns sitting in this big A$$ chair while another MARINE stands about 25 feet away, grabs our fearless leaders 9MM and takes AIM and fires a shot. ** Mann, this brings back memories **!! I know this is fuggin crazy but hey, this was our MSG initiation!! Once we were done and out the chair, we were allowed to put our names on the board. Fuggin crazy, huh!! Our fearless leader always went first and then we go to the club and party but he never went to the club with us, never!
Now, on one night after acting stupid at his house, he decides to go to the club with us. Well, we go hang out, drink, dance, act crazy..and then my boy says, J.., I'm headed to the head, brb...I'm like ok so I always walked with him and stopped about 10 ft away from the head becuz sometimes the Lanka boys, who were like 5 ft tall, liked to start fights with us.....so he's in there and I'm talking to this Australian honey and then BOOM...I hear and see my boy come flying out the door and into the wall with blood all over him. I'm like WTF!! He's yelling and $hit and then about 5 Lanka boys come running out the head with broken bottles and $hit chasing after him. So, I let out this loud whistle and the Dawgs come running, including our fearless leader, the RSO. Then all the freekin Lanka boys in the club join in on the fight. Next thing you know, we start breaking arms, breaking legs, cracking the little Lanka boys over the head with bottles, throwing fuggin people over the bar, into glass mirrors, all kinda $hit. These sorry Lanks boys hit women in the head, in tha face, punching anybody who wasn't Indian. So, we kick some major fuggin a$$ and then we all walk out the club, everybody bloody and $hit. We call the van, they come get us, the RSO called in the med officer to come in at 3:30am to start stitching everybody up. My boy had a 3 inch gash in the back of his head!
By the time we get out of Med, it's about 5:30am and we were supposed to have a PT test that morning. Well, that didn't happen, instead the Ambassador found out and we were all standing tall in her office at 07:00. She was about to kick all of us out the country, she said it!! Mann, we were shakin in our fuggin boxers that morning. If the RSO had not of gone to the club with us that night and verified what happened, we would have been history! This was too freekin close!! We were banned from that club for the reminder of our stay, however, 2 weeks later, the fuggin club burned down!! Go figure!!
Now, the best for last. Yall ready.
Ok, it's that time of year in Lanka land, The MARINE CORPS BALL!!
Well, we were at the ball, got straight toasted and just had straight fun right. Our DetCmdr at the time was a GySgt (outstanding MARINE, so keep the comments down). Well, Gunny was bent sideways after the ball right, so we all got a ride home in the van and we're at the MARINE house and it's now about 2 hrs later, bout 2:00am. The Gunny's wife calls the house and says, 'Where is Gy?' and we say...the van dropped him off about 2 hrs ago. She says 'WHAT', I have not seen him so we're like Oh $hit. So we ask our driver where did he drop him off and the driver says 'at home'. So, we call the Embassy, Gunny is not there! So, we're like.. F&ck and all pile into the van to go look for him right. We're riding around all fuggin night looking for Gy and the next thing yo know, it;s 06:00. So, we're like, WTF, where is the Gy. So, we're riding and riding and riding and looking and looking and next thing you know, it's freeking 09:00. The A-/ is like, OMG, I'm gonna have to call the freekin CO and let him know we can't find the Gy. So, we're talking and thinking and fuggin freakin out and then we decide to go back to the Gy's neighborhood to have 1 last look before calling the CO. So, we're walking around the freekin neighborhood and walking in between houses and $hit and then a MARINE yells, 'I FOUND THE GUNNY!' Everybody runs over to see WTF is going on and we find the Gy laid up in the backyard of somebody's house in the fuggin doghouse with a beer still in his hand. :D We were crackin up, we woke his A$$ up and he was all wet and $hit. It was fuggin hilarious. So, we walked him home and his wife came outside and started cursing his A$$ out. OMG, this was a great funny hilarious day on MSG duty. We swore we wouldn't tell a sole but H$LL, it's been 10 yrs now so I guess I'm good. We all stayed in touch and laughed about this for many yrs.
Anyway, just wanted to share a few stories and experiences of mine on MSG duty! :iwo:

Your in Ireland....I now hate you. Where else have you been?
I was posted in Senegal (West Africa) and Cuba (not Gitmo). Needless to say, Ireland is my best post.
Rah! :banana:

Funny! :D
I would tell some stories, but it might incriminate some Marines.... maybe in 10 yrs. Good times.
that reminded me to go laugh at the posts there... it's a pity party!!
"Okay, so I've been in the Corps for damn near forever (went to boot camp in 2006). I wanna kill myself every single day my ****ing alarm goes off because I know it's just gonna be another day of bull**** and ****ing over the PFC (third award- no ****). Where do I begin? How about with the SSgt that doesn't know **** about his job always trying to tell me to get out of the smoke pit and get back to work. Allow me to add, I never smoked before I joined the Marine Corps- thanks Marines for that habit! I never was a fan of drinking until the Marine Corps either, now I have what the counseling center calls an "alcohol dependency" issue. Thanks again Marine Corps! I got my first DUI in MOS school. Who's ****ing idea was it to have a school in Pensacola anyway? Once again, the Marine Corps setting us up for failure! It's like they want me to drink and drive! What's even more bull**** is that I only blew a .16 when some Corporal **** blew a .23 the same night and got 15 days less restriction than me! Thanks again Marine Corps for treating me unfair. And don't get me started on the piece of **** gate guard that made me take the breathalyzer just because he was ****ed he had to work during a 96. They need to be out catching the drunk drivers causing accidents and killing innocent people and not ****ing with me, minding my own business making it back to base fine. So then I get to the fleet- and the ****ing me over continued. I got this SSgt always in my ****. He thinks he knows so ****ing much about our job when I am constantly having to correct him on simple ****. Everytime we have downtime he expects me to read a book off the gay Marine Corps Reading List or do a faggoty-ass MCI. Then he has the balls to yell at me when I'm in the smoke pit with my friends. That **** is embarrassing and he doesn't even care. That brings me to my second NJP. This cock sucker ****ed with the wrong guy too long. Tell me if you think this is funny? Me and one of my buddies decided to take a screw out of the bottom of my SSgt's chair so when he sat down is fell apart. Well he got all butt hurt cause he tore his ACL when he fell and ****ing ratted me out to the SgtMaj. I told the SgtMaj that I didn't do it alone and my buddy was a part of it too but those ass holes only NJPed me- for assault! Thanks again Marine Corps for singling me out! Now you wanna hear the most ****ed up part of all this? Now I'm pending Admin Sep and a ****ing summary court martial because I had like the smallest trace amount of meth in my system. Not even enough to matter in a real court but of course in the ****ing Marine Corps it's enough to burn me at the stake. So now after giving three years of my life to this ****ed up institution, they are just gonna throw me to the wolves and kick me out! **** them and, once again, thanks a lot Marine Corps!"
this is funny.
There is NO WAY that is real. That has to be someone ****ing around. I've met some pretty ****ty Marines, but DAMN! Nah...can't be real.

Wow.....just....wow.....
STW.....if you EVER talked to me like you did SSgt Petzold, I may get busted or go to the Brig, but I guarantee you you would have a mouth full of Chicklets....you need to learn respect and humility....
We had a PFC like you in one of our equipment platoon's.....he had a "accident" (clumsy PFC), but amazingly, he was one of our best performers and best Marine's after that day....
About every post I've read on here from you is you whining about your situation, how unfair it all is, whatever...deal with it or get out...pretty simple....from your posts here you are nowhere near adult enough or responsible enough to handle the assignment. I've seen sh!t-hot Marine's dropped from the program as Cpl's and Sgt's.
MSG, from a Career Planner perspective, is the most difficult Special Duty Assignment to get a Marine.....the process in very involved, multi-stepped, and the security portion will drive you absolutely insane dealing with....and the MSG Monitor does not have a sense of humor and will give out a non-compliance message in a heartbeat.
A day late and a dollar short. I posted this over a week and a half ago. Some people don't like the Marine Corps, deal with it. This stigma that because you signed it you better love **** is ****ing nonsense. You don't have to be in love with the Marine Corps to be a good Marine. My uniforms are all squared away, my rooms clean, I run a first class PFT, I do my ****ing job, I don't get in trouble, I'm nowhere close to being the Futz that SSgt Petzold posted from the other site. I don't whine about getting NJP'd for taking the screws out of a SNCO's chair, and I don't do drugs then cry about being court martial'd for it.
You'd be amazed at the difference there is between here and the work place, but you're someone who can't differentiate between the two. Here, I speak my mind, at work, I do what I'm told. But if you can't deal with the opinion of someone else who disagree's with you, you're very closed minded, very stubborn, and very thin skinned.
There, you tried to **** me off and it worked. Now I'm gonna enjoy my 96.
I'm watching the Spirit. I would have watched it sooner if I had known Sam Jackson was in it!
this is funny so far.

He's gotta be the villain right? I couldn't differentiate it from Sin City (which I didn't completely watch anyway).
That and the movie theater had a bar so we got trashed before whatever movie we saw.
it's supposed to be in the same universe as sin city

Ah, thought they just ripped off the art-style. Didn't even know if Miller did it. Still waiting for them to do an X-Men movie from the social commentary period they really played up in the late 70's and early 80's.
