As a Marine, I am glad I never have had to serve under the POS.

We had our share in the Army, too. They’re more political and in it for themselves, those kind. Being in a combat platoon was like being a world away from the other kinds of units in some ways (even in the National Guard). I was allowed to try a REMF unit (called “combat heavy” but not really combat) for one year after enlistment with the combat unit (”cbt”) ended. It was a culture shock for me—very different. Discharged after that year.

I left the first (combat) unit, because the new, young commander allowed a prior Navy man (or person) to be my platoon sergeant. He was a social worker in his civilian job and way politically correct. That was it for me. Should have gone regular Army to begin with.
