In the modern coed USMC these words should be stamped into the brains of recruits by their DIs: “Don’t dip your pens in company ink”. Better yet, restructure the coed USMC to minimize situations that can lead to this. I think there is a definite negative morale factor in the current situation that extends beyond just Laurean and Lauterbach.
Worth repeating, loudly. The sick part is, I don't think it's an unintended consequence.
