Roxie Gentle Pitt Bull i’m pretty sure he was just making a joke about how lieutenants think they know everything and outrank all enlisted personnel

[@SalinaMoonfall]

@@matteowoods4666 "Most" listen to their platoon sgt or section sgt, though part of the joke is it has a sad degree of truth to it across all branches, heck throughout history. On paper and officially an officer outranks a high ranking enlisted, unofficially you better hope they don't make you swallow that A+ you got in leadership studies (or whatever leadership titled course you took), those courses are about leadership theory....real leadership is application and experience, both of which a fresh butter bar will lack going in. Note this also applies to civilian work, if not more since the only hierarchy there is usually worker, lead, supervisor, manager. If someone has more experience then you, or is more competent in a given role it is best to open your ears and defer to their experience in getting the job done whether they have a title or not, a superior has final say, but a smart superior will be humble enough to draw on the experience of those who were there before him.

@@TheMarti70 You completely miss the point of the comment. The point is that a Sgt of Marines highlights their own terrible leadership skills along with many people in leadership roles. The best advice they can give is "congrats you're a babysitter"? That attitude and lack of self-awareness is one of many reasons good Marines get out.

[@TheMarti70]

@@alsenior06 what does pointing out the obvious fact that a Corporal is essentially a glorified "babysitter" of irresponsible junior Marines have to do with the Sergeant's leadership skills? If you think being held accountable and for lack of a better term, "babysitting" the junior guys in your charge is a good reason to get out, good, you were likely a trash leader anyways, and good luck on the outside avoiding responsibility and accountability 😂

[@alsenior06]

@@TheMarti70 You need to take a look in the mirror devil dog. Your junior Marines are a direct reflection of your leadership. If you treat them all like a bag of ass you drive moral down and as a result have more trouble than it’s worth. No, your Cpl is not just a babysitter. If that’s how that Sgt sees it, then likely the Sgt is treating that Cpl like shit and then shit rolls downhill. All of this because as inferred in my original comment, terrible leadership skills or maybe even inexperienced leadership skills at the rate some Marines are promoted.
