I do agree you guys make pretty little gate guards. You also are pretty good at standing in front of a fan room hatch for half an hour with a sign on it saying "Ice Cream Shop will open in ten minutes".

You have to re-train him.

I don't agree with coddling recruits, I had a thread a while ago about giving direct commissions to unqualified canidates, at least one in particular. That being said, the largest amphibious operation ever conducted was by the army exclusively(D-day Europe). Even in the Pacific the US army conducted more amphibious operations than the marines. These operations were conducted by a largely conscript army. The army still produces better killers than WWII. In WWII 1/3 of riflemen fired their weapon in an engagement, we now achieve 90%.

SO many things wrong with this....anry has basic NOT boot camp. no yelling=no stress=your DEAD when u encounter stress...cellphones!? need i say more? 8hrs of sleep? all u can eat!? WTF why not just give them a uniform and skip all the sherades!

I hae respect for the Soldier, but his training is a joke these days. Even the Marines have gotten worse.

There has not been a 5 star General since the days of McArthur and Eisenhower.
