All of you who are butt-hurt by this need to get obviously saw a little bit of themselves in it. It’s a joke… get over it… Although it is very true its pointing towards BOOTS. Those douche bags who come to their unit and believe they deserve something. I’ve seen so many boot pfc’s and lcpls that have done this. It has nothing to do with terminal lances. Get over it, Stop being self-conscious. It obviously hurts you that you didn’t pick up NCO, if you don’t care so much, stop bitching at a JOKE on the internet. Sit back, realize its not about YOU and laugh. If it is about yourself, then go screw yourself and stop being a whiny little girl.

Sgt. Mike, First Term Sergeant… separating from the Marine Corps…

Alright Jarhead. I dont want us to go back and forth takin stabs at one another. I do have a chip on my shoulder..never NJPed, no bad counseling, 12 MCIs, 4.5 4.5 and a squad leader through half a deployment and never got corporal. So its nothing against you but when I see the Lance Corporal getting dogged out well in the grunt units youll mainly see Lance Corporals being team leaders and some cases squad leaders. Thats just my point Semper Fi sorry about the comments earlier.

this gets even funnier! I got out in 05, and know I have my own business! It’s so big that I cant even tell you the name of it because some of you crazies will try to come and kill me. (fuckers). We specialize in countertops, anykind you want except laminate. We do Granite, Marble, Concrete and natural stone. We are huge! and I blame our success on what I learned as a terminal lance!!! I was a terminal lance because I stuck my neck out for my sergeant, who was on a staff sergeant’s board… he got in some trouble and I took the blame…never gaining anymore rank.

So I learned something… The world is your oyster…SHUCK IT! and dont stick your neck out for people that dont give a fuck.
ONCE, ALWAYS…….

Jake

So glad to see that you have set your sights so high as to being a manager at a Wal-Mart. I am really proud that you are taking your life to a new level. Now once I retire from the Marine Corps, and have a paycheck for the rest of my life while sitting on my ass, I will be doing much more than taking orders from a pissed off disgruntled crunchie that didn’t even know how to use the Marine Corps as a stepping stone and had to rely on Wally World for a job.

whoever wrote this… if you stayed in the Marine Corps for more than 4 years, its because you couldnt make it in the REAL WORLD. Im sorry your wife got fucked while you were deployed. If someone joins the Marine Corps, theyve got alot of nerve, alot of balzacs. Its NCOs like you who shape these Lance Corporals. “nice job” Go Fuck yourself Marine!

Hello Jarhead,

Am I mistaken in my limited “knowledge’ that it should take about 2 to 3 years for a ‘Boot’ to become a LCpl or is that Cpl?

If I’m right, then how did an 18 year old become a LCpl?

As for the rest that sound about right.

‘Skanks’ are abound no matter where you go or what world you are living in…Military or Civilian.

As for the finicial part, hey, it took listening to Dave Ramsey on the radio and reading one of his books to finially put that into a respective that I could even understand AND, I’m no spring chicken.

As for that LCpl’s “proud Mommy”, she is probably one of those who believed that a good ‘A$$ whoppin’ would damage the ‘ego’ of her precious boy.

My Mom always believed that it was a good “Wake-up” call on what you were doing wrong AND that it was a good idea to change what you were doing RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
** NEVER failed to impress me WHEN I got one of those “Wake-up’s”.
** Afterwards, she would sit with you and speak of the entire process of what was wrong and what was right all the while asking you very good questions. It made me think…a lot… about who and what I wanted to become as an adult.
** “Wake-up’s” are very necessary for some hard-head wet-behind-the-ear know-it-alls.
Yeeep,
I was one of those
AND
sometimes
I think
I may still need a
“Wake-up”
even at my age.
