I know said LtCol, to say she is a bitch is bit of an understatement View Quote But, was she an effective bitch?

I worked for a couple of bitches in the Army, and while the psychotic ones should have been shot, the one (single example, I know) that was bitchy for good reasons, I had no problem with. She did her job, she was effective, and despite the fact that I would have sooner slept with a rabid, gut-shot Kodiak bear than her, I just didn't give a damn: She did her job, and was highly effective at it. Bitchy, I could live with--Incompetent or oblivious? Not so much. |

That's almost word for word what they taught us in SAPR training. The instructor said that if either party has been drinking, it isn't consensual. There was nervous laughter. View Quote Furthermore it's an absolutely accurate statement. While being drunk doesn't excuse crimes that take place against you, you put yourself in a position where having a crime happen against you is much more likely to happen. Just as I should be able to walk Washington Park in Chicago with a stack of hundreds sticking out of my pocket, doing so greatly increases my chances of having a crime committed against me. |

I agree but in general women take it too far. This happens in several industries. They over compensate trying to live up to the hype. They never seem to realize men make back room deals because in general men are understanding to each other and understand the compromise. Women don't get that, they only see it as all or nothing.

So please explain the protocol to me, as unfortunately I never served....
"She got fired...." - does that mean she got booted from the .mil, or got re-assigned to a desk job working supply in Alaska, or took early retirement, or what? What does 'She got fired' mean? |

Effective really is in the eye of the beholder, she is an adjutant so it is hard to say how effective she was since most S1s shops have issues.

From my perspective:
They will remove her. Her career is done, over, finished, kaput. Destroyed. Did she wreck a car/HMMWV/Tank ? Nope Did she have an affair with an enlisted ? Nope Did she scuttle a ship ? Nope Talk smack about the Commander in Chief ? Nope Shoot someone ? Nope She was mean. Really ? A US Marine being Mean, say it isn't so. The Marines under her command did better because she wanted better from them. And she got it. Her heart was in the right place and a female officer does not rise to the level of a Lt. Colonel in the US Marines by being a dumbass. It is just too hard. So they will can her. Stupid assholes. That is my perspective. |

Just curious, can someone explain pizza boxes?
And to a female superior how would you salute or whatever, YES SIR, YS MAAM, or it it something different? |

Quoted: Pizza boxes while demanding higher standards...... ![]() In all, good on her. She wanted to keep her Marines alive. View Quote Pizza boxes, her 2nd row of ribbons are not aligned, stars on her NUC and ICM look retarded and I hate it when Marines use a ribbon bar with spaces between the rows. I realize spacing is allowed but everyone I knew, including myself, didn't have spaces between rows... It just seemed like a Marine thing where as almost all Soldiers I see have spacing. All that said, from everything else said here, it seems like she was doing an excellent job of improving the Recruits and Marines under her command. Unfortunate that she's being relieved of her duties. There was an article a couple years back about a female Naval Commander who was being groomed for Admiral, who was an absolutely abrasive bitch. From what I recall, she had to ground her ship before being relieved. Throwing hot coffee at her junior officers for putting in too much sugar and throwing temper tantrums were ok though. This woman was doing great things but being a little unPC and she's gone. ![]() |

Witnesses said she implied that sexual assault is "100 percent preventable" and that "by drinking, you are putting yourself in a position to be sexually assaulted." She's right you know. Sexual assault is not 100% preventable, but pretty close. |

Also, some people use it to refer to white people, because their skin is as pale as uncooked pizza dough. If a Women Marine goes male regulations, that is she agrees to do the male PFT and wear male uniforms, she then can be addressed as "sir", otherwise she is to be addressed as "My Lady" or in the informal "Ma'am."

Quoted:
Parris Island officials confirmed that range qualification scores improved dramatically within 4th RTB during Germano's tenure. From 2014-2015, average first-time rifle qualification rates for the depot's three male battalions improved from 93 percent to 96 percent, said Col. Jeff Fultz, chief of staff for Parris Island and the Eastern Recruiting Region. During the same timeframe, rifle qual rates for the female battalion soared from 79 percent to 91 percent. There is no reason at all for 4th Bn to have such a pathetic qualification percentage. Physical strength has jack shit to do with rifle qualification. Piss poor discipline and preparation is the issue. Keep in mind this is merely qualification percentage, not even related to expert qualification, I bet experts were like unicorns over in 4th Bn. A4s don't help. And then expecting her to carry a pack is an even bigger joke If you can't qual with an A4 and an ACOG there is no way you will ever be worth shit. a 5'0" chick in body armor trying to qual on an A4 is a joke. You can't put the ACOG far enough back to get the proper eye relief. And expecting her to carry a pack for a full hump is a joke too |

Every effective leader must have the ability to turn it on. Otherwise you are going to get walked on.
You spent your marine career at the fire team level. You were indoctrinated in the proper manner of behaving. In different units, and at different times, you don't have that homogeneity of culture. Being a nice guy all the time is a luxury of being in a good unit. Anyone can command a good unit. Unfuck a screwed up one. You are going to be an asshole. |
