Part of being a squared away Devil Dog is your proficiency in your MOS. That's even across the board. Anybody that would argue with that is an idiot.

Agree

However, if you're a Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps and you can't drill a platoon to NAVMC 2691 standards, you need to rip that stripe off of your trousers and lower your head in shame. Period. There's no excuse. I really don't care if you're an avionics technician for Jesus' helicopter.

Damn, son....you still got the reg numbers memorized? Squared away!

If you can't execute the sword manual to those same specifications, you should consider going UA and joining the Air Force under a different name. Even if your primary MOS is that of river current speed measurer.

If you can't at least get out in front of your unit and sing cadences for 3 minutes during PT without running out of things to sing, you should fall to the rear, make an abrupt stop and let the safety vehicle end your misery. Even if you run a 300 PFT and you're the President's crew chief.

Lloyd, you're making R. Lee Ermey proud! You're in rare form today.

These things aren't unique to the infantry. Hell, do you think infantrymen have nothing to do but sit around and drill all day? I think not. We had plenty of things to do, but NCO's need to do do things in addition to the bare minimum. Marine Corps units need to do more than the bare minimum.

If you're a T-64 engine mech, be the best damn T-64 mech in the MALS. Strive to be the best in the Marine Corps. But don't let some dumb grunt become the NCO of the quarter because he knew the answers to questions like "What's the cycle of operations for the M-16 Service rifle". Make you and every other air winger look like a POS a$$-bag hiding behind an MOS. Not like they didn't teach that in boot camp....
