Guess I will open my big mouth on this
1st, a poolee has not earned the title and so can not state what they think about Marine officer, fer a boot louie ya seem to have a perspective as to what yer Marines want and need Koble.
, I had 5 Lt's. when I was in, we only respected 2 of em, cause they listened to us when they knew what we was talkin bout was right. We called one of our Lt's gungy, not out of hate, but out of respect, we would have followed that man anywhere when a Marine officer sheds his butter bar and puts on da silver, there seems to be a bit more respect given, cause then we know ya got some time in, its da same thing on da enlisted side, a boot, no respect till ya earn it, same thing when a enlisted looks at a officer.
own up to da order, we know it came from above, but dont let us know you know. It works better if we have a officer in front of us who we can blame fer it.
, have fun and listen to yer NCO's Koble, when yer Marines know ya listen then they know yer a leader. Watch Band of Brothers, I know its army, but that is one hell of a learnin tool for officers and enlisted.
