Leadership will always be a topic of discussion because it’s true that the impact you could have on someone means the difference of a career or getting out. I know that I’ve had great experiences but sadly had more bad. Proper training and mentoring is key to success for these leaders.
Anthony, Thanks for your candidness..We all had some good and bad experiences..I don't regret getting out. As a matter of fact, I struggled with many obstacles when I got out. But, the particular not great experiences were enough to finalize my decision. I had transferred and did a third Westpac and had an outstanding Company Commander. He was the best and he was my CO for my remaining 8 months. My CO and XO and Platoon Commander that I had for three years would have never had the influences to keep me in. But I didn't just play with my thumbs. I completed my university degree and ended up working in a legal field.
Albert I like your multi perspectives. Barry, Jake, and Nick, this was another well structured and informative discussion.. I will tell you guys something. During my time in, we had one meritoriously promoted Sergeant who was an 0331..We were at Infantry Training School together and at the same duty station for three years. No one else was meritoriously promoted to Sergeant during my three years in Charlie Company that I can think of. We had Staff Sergeants with 12-14 years who were still grunts. We had a Gunnery Sgt. who was in for probably 20 years or more. Promotions were nothing like today. I was a 35 months Lance Corporal. For your FYI, I had two deployments, completed squad leadership and jungle training courses and it didn't matter..To be perfectly honest, if integrity still counts, I began to lose my personal motivation.. Regarding mentors, during my time, I really didn't see that going on. If your First Sgt., Platoon Commander, CO, XO, Co. Gunny liked you, you probably had a better chance at getting promoted. I arrived to my Infantry duty station and from day #1, we had many Marines, yelling it, how many days they had left, like 30 & a wake up, 2 weeks & a wake up. So, something has happened with the Marine Corps restructuring and to some degree, redorming how they conduct business. This is literally like day & night from when I served.
Semper fi my brothers from Florida , 2111 , 2D BN, 10th MAR , 2D MAR DIV , Paris Island 1975 before mothers of America ruined the Corps. A Warrant Officer in those days you didn’t even want to look in the eyes, they weren’t even human. BMF

I agree.
