  • 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).

  • 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.

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

  • @poobert

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

  • @Maurice670

    Whats yout MOS kid?

  • @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!!

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

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

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