Even as an E-1 fresh arrived at SOI, I somehow already knew about the good SgtMaj. I only ran into him once at the PX and was sure to give him the proper greeting of the day. Must have done something right because he didn’t yell or lecture me, but somehow I ended up leaving with multiple CDs even though I had nothing to play them on…

So how many marines did not talk to him cause they were afraid to ? Good senior NCO’s allow themselves to be approachable

How about senior enlisted actually show some sort of humanity and just say “what’s up man/guys?”

Hell yeah brother :
Can a lil smooch on the cheek be part of the proper greeting of the day? I bet morale would go up 100 fold
