Being in the Corps for 4 1/2 years and being up and down the rank ladder I can only speak for my time in Nam and in the Coros..........the Sergeants are and always have been the backbone of the Corps in a War Zone......thats just my take on it !!! In Nam I'd follow a Sergeant into hell...........I wouldn't follow to many officers into a 3 holer !! Specially the 90 day wonders that they started shipping over there....most o them didn't know sh*t from shinola !!! I never was one, but Sgt's RULE !!!!
