A lot of good men get out. My best friend in 1983 got out,,, He would have been a Sgt Major if he stayed in. The real dumb asses who just suck up and stay out of trouble get weeded up between 8-10 years in. a few still make it to 20. I used to love getting rid of dead weight Cpls and Sgts who had 6 or more years in and thought they could slide. I'd just send them to NCO school. they'd fail and I'd process them.

Nik3AllSt4r No dude, I said: I was a good Marine, pay attention. And I am not complaining, I'm glad to be away from all the corruption. I just didn't like how a garbage Marine got away with something by turning in 6 stellar Marines. Please don't preach what you don't know kid, all good Marines do something they aren't supposed to be doing.

If I could change one thing about the Marine Corps, it'd be that no Marine would ever get promoted without having done his or her MCI's. I saw that out in the fleet and some of those devil dogs had low cutting scores and lower motivation. If you're too lazy to do this one basic thing (easy, even for Marines and adds a lot of points toward your composite score), then you don't need another stripe, you need a boot!

There's also the side of locking out Reservist ranks
Unfortunately this applies to more jobs than just the USMC, or military.

I have been saying a lot of this same stuff! The system is designed to keep the lazy, the dumb, and the Marines with larger families re-enlisting.
