| I'm just baffled at how the newer generations rely on crying to get what they want. What ever happened to hard work pays off? This is just a space for me to vent since doing it anywhere else would be very inappropriate. comments are ok Well yesterday was supposed to be a very easy day. I had plans on driving up to go see my wife but NOOOOOO... As if s**t wasn’t already a bit hard. Now I have f**king bitches who think they are Marines turn up and cry to every f**king one they can get to listen to them. I’m Just baffled by this "new wave of Marines" When was it Ok to question authority? When was it OK to to skip the chain without any repercussions for the one doing it? When was it ok to punish those who are doing the right thing for someone’s litlle " woe is me" session? And then I get the story of someone telling one of my Sgts that they could go back and act the same way they were treated a long time ago and push any comments away and not listen to what they have to say (while doing the very same thing at that moment)(referring to the guy who is supposed to back us up no matter what). I guess a Sgt’s word isn’t worth s**t anymore. And I guess These So-called NCOs are nothing more than what everyone else calls them. Over payed PFC’s!!! EMOTIONS AND IT WAS THE WAY OF BEING BROUGHT UP?? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!! IT'S THE FUCKING MILITARY!!!!!!!!! Shit is already Easy in our particular MOS.. I guess that just goes to show me.. I just cannot trust anyone to do their Job and I definitely cannot trust people here to be Marines.. I just think it’s f**king amazing how I’m probably just looked at like some other random Sgt where I’m at but when I go and talk to Company Commanders.. Sgt’s Major or 1stSgts.. I always get the "we could sure Use you here!" speech. for goodness sake. even the BASE SGT MAJ is all cool with me and sat for a whole 45 minutes listening to some Ideas. I’m currently still where I’m at thanks to this stupid Med hold. I cannot compete for promotion I cannot go anywhere and I cannot reenlist. And it’s not like I can vent about this anywhere else. I just get soo pissed that the s**tty f**ks here can get away with so much due to crying or feeling stressed or just giving excuses. I’m pretty much out of Ideas as to how to get these individuals in shape. I honestly do not know what to do. In this very same unit, if this same exact thing would have happened before, that individual would have been separated due to not being able to adapt to military lifestyle. I thought I had made Myself clear when speaking to a few Marines about similar issues but I guess I don’t know s**t. It’s pretty bad when even some of the staff see what I see and nobody stands up. I guess that’s why a lot of people do not like the way I do things. I refuse to kiss ass, and I will not bend over for someone’s needs when they do not put forth the effort. I have never been one to give up on someone but I have to be honest here. I am running out of will power and patience. I have never IN MY LIFE!! MET SO MANY FUCKING WEAK MINDED OR SCUMMY PEOPLE! I guess it doesn’t really help when regardless of how others see it, you try to run things in a military fashion in an environment that is very political. Looking at this fact.. Knowing that I’m not a politician or have aspiration to even try to be, I just do not see myself getting anywhere in this field. I love what we stand for and I love what we do in our Mission but as far as being a Marine.. This is not the place to be. and I always get the "but we’re not Infantry and we do not expect our Marines to go out and bleed " and blah blah blah.. well I see that as being way wrong. We are Marines first and WE SHOULD EXPECT OUR MARINES TO FUCKING BLEED AND PUT OUT 100%. BEcause that’s WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE REPRESENT. And luckily there are 5 sergeants who fall in that category of doing what you have to in order to get the job done. these are my backbone here but it’s pretty much useless when we’re given no support from our own peers or higher ups as a whole. and I’m glad to see that amongst all the little bitches I can point our 4 Corporals of Marines.. and the sad thing is that these guys are on their way out. YET!! they are some of the Better NCO’s I have seen. I’m still just baffled at how the GOOD MARINES are still Positive and they’re getting out. and then we have the others who THINK in a twisted GUN HO mentality and all they do is complain,, bitch moan and cry about being treated unfairly.. Yet when it comes down to it. they treat each other like s**t and never do things the right way or follow orders without hesitation. AND I"M SUPPOSED TO SHOW THEM RESPECT!??? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!! I have a Married Couple here who do not know how to separate work from personal lives. The Female of this couple is a total waste of resources in my opinion. I came to this conclusion after taking her under my wing and trying to show her the right way and setting her up for success. And here I thought that because of her age, that she would be a good NCO and a Great leader. BOY was I wrong. She is the reason why I cannot go up to see my wife this Easter. I have to sit here and put up with her petty as s**t and crying about unfairness. And Here I stand with my hands tied behind my back. The Command Element just doesn't see her the way the rest of the unit does and caters to her every whim. I had her Squad leader try and teach her the ropes but now is being accused of mistreating her. It doesn't matter what the rest of us think. because when she cries to the boss or Top she gets her way. ANd to top it off I had her Husband try and charge at me with accusations of how his wife is being mistreated. I laughed at his face and told him to f**king man up!! That I have nothing against his wife but I do have things against Corporal Crybaby.. that he needs to realize that his wife needs to either grow the f**k up or i would recommend her for administrative separation for failure to adapt to military lifestyle. I mean for Pete's sake. I didn't take this s**t from my own wife when she also worked in the same unit and did the exact same thing his wife is doing. only thing is my wife understood the Marines wasn't her thing and decided to make the best of it and get out when her contract ended not to mention that unlike his wife my wife knew and still knows what the f**k to do and how to be mature about it. But again just because this person is too much of a piece of s**t now I cannot see my wife. Thanks Ass hole..  |
