  • I'm not criticising - I understand that this is a demo of ONE leadership style only (no doubt they covered the rest later). But I just record that the scariest NCO's I had in the NZ Army were SAS guys. And they were quiet...very quiet...and when they got REALLY quiet, they could literaly have you 'shaking in your boots'.

  • I remember the time I was going through humvee course at mainside, a bunch of Cpl Course pogues were being trained on how to lock marines on, one of the douchebags tried to yell at one of my boots for sleeping on the ground, so me and a couple other dudes surrounded this fuck and threatened to kick the shit out of him, he looked like he was about to cry. Ahh, good training.

  • Haha I like no one knew what he was doing when he came in with the broom

  • is that real, if it is thats the funniest shit I have ever seen

  • Great! We get to hear from the shirtbirds too!

  • What is this faggot bullshit, bunch of pogues learning how to be gayass nitpickers. I remember on my way to basrah we were staying at camp fallujah, the pogues were running corporal courses and carrying their NCO swords around and shit, what an embaressment.

  • @shorttimer09 lol, yes, they are the embarrassment. you tell 'em.

  • @shorttimer09 whoever you are... just know this, pogues are just as quick to pull the trigger as you would be, only difference between you and i, is my secondary job, i've deployed with grunts, and they would rather have 10 more guys with my mindset!!

  • @Maurice670

    Whats yout MOS kid?

  • @shorttimer09 i am a 2336... hopefully that will keep you quiet...

  • @Maurice670

    nah it really doesn't, most EOD guys are pretty pimp, but you sound like a douche

  • Cpls course was tough, but still, I had a blast and rekindled some motivation after the same routine in the fleet everyday.

  • OORAH!! haha

    Pfc. Salazar

  • I don't think there is a Marine out there that can't pretend to act like a Drill Instructor.

    Funny attention getter. I guess they are showcasing the "autocratic" method :D

  • I hated Corporal's course, they sent me with 6 months left on my contract. I was getting out. It was stupid for me to be there when there were other guys staying in. Anyways, I passed and got my certificate thingy. Semper Fi.

  • Well, now you can say you got out as an NCO. That looks good on your resume. If I am unmistaken, the promotion is slow and slots are just not available to all of those poor Lcpls who scrape and scrape and end up being picked over for promotion.

  • @poobert

    You are mistaken, nobody gets "picked" for cpl promotion, its based on you're score, now shut the fuck up.

  • Alright, thank you very much :)

  • lmao

  • I laughed so hard. I really want to be a Marine once I graduate from high school. How can someone become a DI after becoming a Marine?

  • like boredguy said, and you better be ready for 20 hour days, screaming top of ur lungs all day, and you better know how to fuckin pth like a god

  • Thank you Johnny.

  • LOL

  • lol

  • It's a leadership course to improve the skills of junior NCOs in the Marine Corps. This was the "gain attention" portion of one of the classes. The two Marines were portraying the roles of Drill Instructor and Recruit...for the sake of demonstrating one of the extreme leadership styles that we occasionally use in "boot camp."

  • Hey, Gunny. Ya' might call be a bad NCO, but I never treated my boots like trash. (Unless they pissed me off, hehe)  I never did my Corporals Course, or even my Sgt's Course for that matter. Did they really teach that way to gain attention through intimidation crap that I went through when I first hit the fleet?

  • @Turisas1234: It was simply a "gain attention" for a class. The "boot" was not a boot, but a Marine pretending to be a recruit...and yes, recruits DO INDEED get treated like that in boot camp. The skit didn't intimidate anyone, and shouldn't have.

  • Well, I know THAT Gunny, but I never understood why NCO's treat their non-NCO's like garbage, while fratenize and hang out with them on weekends. I always gave my boots respect as far as being a man, and they always showed it in kind for being a Corporal, then Sergeant. What I was asking is that if the Cpl and Sgt's course teach you the non-drill instructor way of grabbing attention. "OK I KNOW WE'RE AT PARADE REST" etc.

  • Most definitely. Hell; sometimes we showed movie clips, told jokes, whatever; anything to get their attention, wake them up, start a class off on a less boring note, etc. This skit was simply entertainment, and designed to show the far extreme of one leadership style (that's what the class was; "Leadership Styles).

  • What is this corporal's course?
