Also, in before Josh gives expert testimony about MCRD SOP. You sure know a lot about Josh...having only been here a month. Hmmm. Doesn't even take 2 days to realize that guy proclaims to be an expert on anything from economics to fusion of atoms in whatever post he's in. Exactly. |

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.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. 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. But she did serve as an aide to an assistant secnav and could PT real well for a women |

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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pizza boxes while demanding higher standards...... In all, good on her. She wanted to keep her Marines alive. 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.  |

When someone gets fat, they appear "doughy", hence pizza boxes. Its a term in the USMC to refer to fat people. 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." Marine customs and courtesy are very formal. |

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 |

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? When someone gets fat, they appear "doughy", hence pizza boxes. Its a term in the USMC to refer to fat people. 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." Marine customs and courtesy are very formal. Are you kidding ? Pizza box is someone who shoots marksmen and pizza-pizza a double marksmen The emblem looks like box of pepperoni pizza I did boot camp at Ft Dix and then served in 5th Force Recon. Trust me, I know this stuff. doing fine. keep up the good work, sailor. |

Some people use the word asshole to describe anyone that doesn't put up with their shit and/or puts a crimp in their style. Same with the word bitch. Damn it woman, changing your avatar like that screws me up on who is posting. Officers who are assholes or bitches fundamentally do not understand their job. non-concur. there is a place for it. Training is definitely a place for it. she is there to turn little girls into marines. man (so to speak) the fuck up. Don't change the goal posts. Boot is not the fleet. whats the article about? |

Not in my experience. Anyone can crack the whip and beat their underlings "until moral improves". Tact goes a long way, whether you're wearing the uniform or not. To me, it sounds like her abrasiveness rubbed someone the wrong way just one too many times. Her message was sound. Her delivery may have been flawed because of her personality. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I know said LtCol, to say she is a bitch is bit of an understatement Meh. Most effective commanders are either bitches or assholes. Hell, most men brag about their assholishness. As long as they get the job done and keep their men alive, who gives a flying fuck? Not in my experience. Anyone can crack the whip and beat their underlings "until moral improves". Tact goes a long way, whether you're wearing the uniform or not. To me, it sounds like her abrasiveness rubbed someone the wrong way just one too many times. Her message was sound. Her delivery may have been flawed because of her personality. I'll go with this. I frequently saw this with men and women with that style in a civilian setting. As they move up the ranks, they eventually blow up because nobody took the effort to counsel and mentor them.. |

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. |

In my experience they were pulled from a superior gene pool than your average enlisted WM. It does suck that her speaking the truth and trying to get her recruits to live up to a higher standard got her sacked. I often wondered how long the Corps would be able to resist the PC pussification, and I see its already underway. Oh, my beloved Corps!!
