      @@matteowoods4666 "Most" listen to their platoon sgt or section sgt, though part of the joke is it has a sad degree of truth to it across all branches, heck throughout history.
      On paper and officially an officer outranks a high ranking enlisted, unofficially you better hope they don't make you swallow that A+ you got in leadership studies (or whatever leadership titled course you took), those courses are about leadership theory....real leadership is application and experience, both of which a fresh butter bar will lack going in.
      Note this also applies to civilian work, if not more since the only hierarchy there is usually worker, lead, supervisor, manager. If someone has more experience then you, or is more competent in a given role it is best to open your ears and defer to their experience in getting the job done whether they have a title or not, a superior has final say, but a smart superior will be humble enough to draw on the experience of those who were there before him.

If you think being held accountable and for lack of a better term, "babysitting" the junior guys in your charge is a good reason to get out, good, you were likely a trash leader anyways, and good luck on the outside avoiding responsibility and accountability 😂

If you treat them all like a bag of ass you drive moral down and as a result have more trouble than it’s worth. No, your Cpl is not just a babysitter. If that’s how that Sgt sees it, then likely the Sgt is treating that Cpl like shit and then shit rolls downhill.

      Dear Veteran,
      When you "...get out and go to college...," anyone with half a brain (Civilian students aren't noted for that, but there may be a few.) will know you're a Veteran: The way you carry yourself, the logical way you think and speak, the fact that you listen and carry out assignments, your alertness, your attention to detail, the way you have of cutting to the core of an issue without distraction, that you have no fear of looking anyone in the eye, your superior hygiene, and everything else you learned on Active Duty all scream that you're a Veteran. (Then someone will catch you unawares, render a snappy salute - and you'll return it just as quickly, giving you away as a Veteran!)
      One doesn't need to "blabber." That you served and learned does that for you.

    I’m getting promoted to SSGT on March 1st (after waiting forever for my number) and I can actually appreciate this advice. Thank you Gunny. Now here’s my piece of advice to Senior Cpl’s and or Sgt’s going through the “should I stay in” phase: just remember why you joined, remember how you felt when you made your first impact on a junior Marine’s life/career. Sincerely, a Ssgt Select.
