Corporal as DI?

That’s funny, I just saw a Reddit thread about that same video. I don’t remember that when I was in, but it sounds like it may be more common now.

Also makes me wonder, could a senior drill instructor be of a lower rank than one of the DI’s on his team? (A sergeant leading a team of staff sergeants)

I've seen a few of that. I wonder if there's a rotation into those positions.

My pop was a drill Sgt in 72/73. He was a medic in nam, Sp/5 back then but had to do whatever he had to, to get hard E5, since there were not drill specialists, that's the story he always tells me, lol.

Bingo! Here in AZ a person with a DD214 has an express lane to getting one without a class and no demonstration of being able to hit anything with competency either.

I still went to a class to make sure I was up to date on the use of force laws here and because I like to shoot at any class being offered so long as the instructor isn't a walking/talking open mouth eating dildo. One of the people I befriended in said class was a retired LASO deputy with that carry anywhere card. He felt the same as I did.

When I was assigned to the Marines I bought into the 'every Marine a rifleman' thing because, you know, the thing, the advertising. In my first couple units, infantry units, it was absolutely true. Then when I was assigned to a logistics and warehouse unit and they shot once a year and 80% had the 'pizza box' (Marksman badge, lowest you could score and still qualify), I realized, no, not 'every Marine a rifleman.' Some were allergic to guns it seemed.

And some of them later left the Corps and enlisted in the Army. Very few lived up to the USMC hype and you realized why they were no longer Marines. I suspect that these were the ones the USMC told to leave for being failures to perform.

When my son decided to join the military, he considered the Marines. My fatherly advice was to think about which branch he'd rather make a career in. It always seemed to me that Marines are rightly proud of their service, but are happy to ETS. Army vets often say to me " looking back, I should've stayed in and made it a career" I don't hear that as often from Marines.

* My son had several high school buddies serve in the Marine Corps and I believe they have all ETS'd.

I want to go on record that I have met more outstanding Marines than I have with outstanding Army, the department that I served with and made a career of. However those who left the USMC to join the Army were complete bags of asses and very underwhelming.

*Edit: And on further review that ones that did leave the USMC prior to 9/11 but enlisted anyway they could to get back in it with any service that would take them in, were surprisingly decent.

I don't know how many are advised to leave. That's an interesting question. Now with so many lat transfer MOSs there really isn't a good reason to leave unless you are just a bad fit for the Corps. A lot of the non-combat MOSs and units are Monday-Friday 8-5, have little real field time, and shoot less than 10% per year what we could do in a week. That's all fine, just a huge leap between infantry and FSSG (support).

The Marines never had a hard time recruiting, but they have a hard time retaining. It's not an easy life, especially as a junior Marine, and it felt like the Corps was always putting up unnecessary barriers for success. As a corpsman I had an interesting perspective because I was in that culture but could step away.
