Semper Fi Devil Dogs! 2012-2017, 0311 !! I miss the friends, camaraderie, foreign food, traveling, foreign countries, and the cool ranges and training.

There’s no way you’re going to convince me that’s not a pineapple on the MGySgt insignia 😂

They're both lifers and are to be honored for their sacrifice and service. Semper Fi and Ooh-rah!

My grandfather was a Master guns. He lived for the corps. I grew up listening to cadences before competing in sports or races . I was always so proud to be his grandson and to show him off , especially when he was in dress blues or greens. But the blues with his medals and sashes , I always thought he looked like a superhero. And he was in many ways.

The MSgt/MGySgt is a professional warfighter who isn’t afraid of his craft. The 1stSgt/SgtMaj is typically a former DI who runs from his MOS and wants to sit behind a desk, read the uniform manual or JagMan, and then make videos like this where they can’t pronounce SERGEANT and say Sarn’t. 😂😂😂

And of course the top NCO . Command Sargent Major of the Marine Corps. Right Hand to the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. Hoorah !

I’m remember we had this old salty SGT Major who was a Vietnam Vet. He had a bad hip and used to run with us with his cane. Was eventually forced to retire due to his medical issues. We hated that guy pretty much ran the company. Every officer was scared to question him. He wanted everything squared away even required spitshine on your combat boots. We purposely would run as fast as we could to try to break him. But he kept running. That man was the real Gunny Highway.

Thank you for your service sir! 🇺🇲🇺🇲

It’s unfortunate that my aspirations to be a “hard charging, lifer” was destroyed by a selfish and deceptive recruiter that deflected my dreams for his own quota agenda! After serving six years in the Marine Corp Reserves, I realized my best course of action was to transfer to the Air Force Reserves to build a useful civilian resume! So, I guess I got to experience the best of two worlds - brawn and brains! SEMPER FI!

Think of a MSgt as your Boss at Work and the 1st Sgt as your Dad at Home. A MSgt stays with his MOS, 1st Sgt’s are sent to fill a slot for any Unit.

Ashamed to say I never served, but I do have a story about a retired Master Guns. He was a fishing guide on a small charter boat he retired to. Guy was a solid rock of muscle and had a voice like low gravel. Right away I'm afraid of this guy. But man, when we got on the water, it was time to learn, and he never had to raise his voice. I'd be drifting off, not paying attention, and I'd feel just a little knock in my mid back, fish was on the line. Learned a lot. Guy was a great instructor. Nothing but respect for him and for all of you.

The fact that this dudes neck muscles wont allow him say the letter g anymore let's you know immediately that he's a real old school badass fuckin Marine.

My son recently got promoted to Staff Sergeant. I’m so proud of him to be part of USMC. Thank you for your service Sir

SgtMaj Cece, good to see you Devil Dog. I was in 2/5 G, 3rd plt, 3 sqd, 1st team 06-07. Iraq, Ramadi and Kharma. You just popped up on my feed, took me back for a minute. Glad to see your fighting the good fight. Semper Fi.

Master guns= cool old guy that teaches you shit

One is administrative, one is a technical expert.

He’s a DI instructor at a military school I used to attend! Very very amazing person with incredible stories!

In Oki brand new to the island long ago, I received a Red Cross message of a death in the family. My company SgtMajor was on vacation but still on the island and he showed up in warm ups to get my leave orders going, but sako couldn't get me a flight back from conus for 3 weeks because of Christmas and new years. I didn't have enough leave so I would have to owe. SgtMajor approved it and sent me down the hall to get orders to depart the next day. StaffSGT there denies it because I don't have the balance to cover. I rushed back to catch SgtMajor as he was locking his door. We walked down there, he says point out this StaffSGT, I do. He calls the StaffSGT over and says print this Marine his orders, StaffSGT says, He doesn't have the..SgtMajor points down at his signature and and says I Already Approved It, This Marine Will Wait Right Here, So Print Them StaffSGT. His demeanor changed, his voice went to a higher octave, Yes SgtMajor. StaffSGT proceeded to hand them off to a LCPL when SgtMajor said, StaffSGT You Print Them Now. I thanked SgtMajor and he went home, StaffSGT gave me my orders quick.

I proudly served in this Gun Club for 12 years. Semper Fi!

Sergeant E-5 is the backbone of the Corps. Semper fi, (E-5, 1965-71)
