The one where a SNCO is punished for unbecoming behavior to lower ranked troops. Punished in a way that does not effect his career. Did I mention he disparaged the female Marines while they were preparing for the fitness test?
Disparaged? You think a Gy-Sgt should be humiliated by an officer in front of his trainees because he freaking "disparaged" somebody? The Marines sure has changed since I was in.
Not trainees pogue, we were a regular unit. They were full Marines not recruits and not trainees. And yes he insulted them to their faces. Any SNCO that would do that is beneath contempt. As a leader one is not supposed to insult or belittle their troops. He got what was coming to him.
That was my experience in the Corps - correction, the Old Corps. Every Marine was treated with respect, but recruit training was another matter. Example:
DI (Drill Instructor): Do you like me boy?"
Recruit: Sir, yes sir.
DI: "Boy, do you know that liking leads to loving and loving leads to *******?"
Recruit: Sir, Yes sir.
DI: Do you want to **** me boy?
Recruit: Sir, no sir.
DI: Well, do you like me boy.
Recruit: "Sir, no sir.
DI: Well, why don't you like me?
And it's all downhill from there.
Another one:
DI: "Boy, you didn't shave this morning, did you?
Recruit: "Sir, yes sir.​
DI: "Boy, I said you didn't shave this morning. Are you calling me a liar?
Recruit: "Sir, no sir.
DI: "Boy, did you shave this morning?"
Recruit: "Sir, no sir.
DI: "Well, why didn't you shave this morning?
And it's all downhill from there. It usually ends with the DI saying, "Well, shitbird, next time try standing a little closer to the motherfucking razor.
God, I love Parris Island.
Semper FI.
