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

It was definitely a life changing experience that I’m l’m glad to be a apart of. I got out and used my GI bill so I took advantage of my resources. Whether you do 1 enlistment or many, I will never talk someone out of it. One of the best things that ever happened to me! Keep up the good videos sir! It’s fun to brush up on these again!

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

[creightonhayes]

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 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.

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

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.
When I reached Cpl I did my best to look out for my Junior Marines the same way SgtMajor did..pay it forward.

[rockyrocamontes]

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

[TemmieContingenC]

Love the way you articulate info clearly and precisely. Not in the military but I do like watching these from time to time. Also kudos for checking in with the people who comment. Saw your reply to a dude shopping out to boot soon and it was really wholesome.

Keep it up

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.

[billknoop]

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

[aceykerr]

SgtMaj is an administrator, Master Guns is the subject-matter expert of his given field.

[usmc]

So this is how small the Corps is. Bangor Marines recognize that Master Guns in the photo from security forces early 2000s. “Killers”

[albertramos]

Sgt. Major…… How’s everything Big guy…. My name is Al Ramos, we went to NCO School in Hawaii. We were Corporals. Had a blast. I still have all my NCO books ( we wrote some hilarious shit on each other’s manuals). I followed you for a while. I’m glad to find you again. Semper Fi Amigo & God Bless Brother 🍺👊🏽

[adamb.]

I've been a Marine for 20 years. Now I know. Only 4 active.

Question: Whats the difference between a MGySgt and a SgtMaj?

Answer: MGySgt can do both his job AND the SgtMaj's job.
I dig the video btw.

[drewbienewbiexx]

You remind me of my SGT MAJ Reeves. I was his driver and then gunner on our Ramadi tour with 2/8. Thank you for bring back fond memories, loved that man, great leader.

“What does three up and three down mean to you Airman?” “End of an inning.” LOLOLOL

[Clevelandsteamer]

One is administrative, one is a technical expert.

Semper Fi Sgt. Maj. I'm shipping out to boot camp in June of 2023. What do you recommend doing for PT before I head out?
