But my point of contention is for the Marines who responded to the poolee. Totally inappropriate. Regardless of their feelings on the subject, their conduct was lacking for what is universally expected of Marines and especially Marine NCOs.

At Ease, Marines. One thing the Mods and I are sure to agree on here is that we will maintain our bearing on these boards. We are wearing the ranks of NCOs and, as an example to the wannabees, we'll show all due respect to each other.
Carry on.

Maybe the Marines wanted to "make an example out of him", but there are several other ways to go about doing that. Now, if he went around saying he WAS a Marine, I could understand why someone would be so angry. But that wasnt the case.
Just let it be a lesson to any poolee reading this: Dont be dumb and get a tattoo like that before you've earned the right to be called "Marine".

Feel free to review my history on this site or any other. I think you will find that I do not use my rank for any leverage in debate. I present my ideas based on my experience and grounded in Marine doctrine. You can disagree with me all you like, but it's a pretty hard argument to debate against the established doctrine of the Marine Corps concerning things like Leadership and mentorship.

I remember when I was in Africa, Lt. Whitman would ALWAYS walk around with his Flak Jacket on when we were on post. Why? Because we had to have our gear on. He didnt have to wear it. It wasnt a combat zone. But he chose to because he actually cared about us Marines, and he lead by example.
Im not one for the whole enlisted/commissioned battle. Yeah, its fun to poke fun at officers, because we pride ourselves on being enlisted. "Dont call me sir, I work for a living!" hahaha....but when it all comes down to it, at the end of the day we're all Marines.

PS:
We're all grown adults, lets just agree to disagree and not have the bashing of fellow Marines keep going any further. Its a bit ridiculous.

Well I bet you will have something to laugh about after boot camp . I have a feeling the DI's will tear that guy up because of that tattoo.

I don't have a problem w/ enlisted agreeing w/ officers. But I do have a problem when enlisted feel obligated to agree with officers. Especially when it's a matter of opinion.
And for the record, I'm out. Not even subject to recall anymore. So, I can be as rude and crude and obscene as I want, and all you kids can act like I'm such an embarrassment and/or disgrace. Fact is, I'm not the only one who feels the way I do on the matter. I may have been a little more verbal about it. I may have been a little more crude about it. But I know I'm not the only one who feels the way I do.

And yes, I do enjoy getting under other people's skin sometimes. It's amusing. Marines aren't required to have a stick up their ass all day every day, you know.
Lastly, it's not lack of a constructive response. Just the way you talk to people is nauseating.
