Guys,
I saw this (passed around by a retired MGySgt) and almost spit....
Posted for your enjoyment:
MGySgt 1. When you meet a MGySgt in the passageway and say,
"What's up Master Guns?" He says, "What's up Devil Dog?".
SgtMaj 1. When you meet a SgtMaj in the passageway and say,
"What's up SgtMaj?" He says "Your chevrons are chipped and your
skivvies aren't marked Devil Dog, and by the way, the appropriate
greeting is Good Afternoon, Sergeant Major!".
MGySgt 2. When you see a MGySgt at the P.X. he's probably wearing
a T-shirt, jeans and his running shoes; holding hands with his wife and
says "Hey Devil Dog, this is my wife Sue Ellen".
SgtMaj 2. When you see a SgtMaj at the P.X., he's probably wearing a
smartly pressed Van Heusen shirt and Dockers sitting by himself in the
food court and says "Where's your belt Devil Dog? Who are you with?".
MGySgt 3. If you ever find yourself in the MGySgts office, there is a
good chance you'll be able to sit down and talk shop with a ready made
cup of hot Joe and get a strong hand shake on the way out.
SgtMaj 3. If you ever find yourself in the SgtMajs office, it's very likely
you won't be able to sit down at all because of all of the "I love me"
stuff and you won't have time for a cup of coffee because you'll be too
busy making sure every sentence ends in SgtMaj. On the way out he'll
make sure and remind you about your duty on Christmas Day.
MGySgt 4. If you run in to the MGySgt at the club, he'll probably be a
half a beer away from smacking up some Lieutenant and about three
chicken wings away from a heart attack. He'll gladly invite (order) you
to come over and drink a beer with him while he tells you how awesome
of a Marine you are (Can you drive him home?).
SgtMaj 4. If you run in to the SgtMaj at the club, he'll probably be
drinking
a watered down Pepsi and eating unsalted popcorn because his body is a
temple. He wouldn't think of inviting you over because he is with his fellow
Sgt'sMaj and... you understand. On the way out the door he counsels you
on saying the f-word too much and reminds you about duty tomorrow.
MGySgt 5. If you happen to see the MGySgt at P.T. he'll be in cammies
scratching his head because he thought you said "beer run" instead of
"pier run". If he did come to actually run he's probably still wearing his
scarlet and gold P.T. gear and grey Velcro running shoes from Boot Camp.
SgtMaj 5. When you see the SgtMaj at P.T. he'll be running the guidon
around the battalion impressing all the Marines that a 47 year old man
is still in that great of shape. After the run he will counsel you for your
P.T. shorts not being properly pressed and remind you to check in for
duty after you change over.
MGySgt 6. When you call the MGySgt at 0100 and tell him that you are
heading to the hospital because your wife is in labor, he'll probably say,
"Alright brother, drive safely and I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Call
me
to let me know everything went well."
SgtMaj 6. When you call the SgtMaj at 0100 and tell him that you are
heading to the hospital because your wife is in labor, he'll probably
say, "Who authorized that? Did the Colonel sign off on that package?
Fine! Don't forget about formation in the morning".
MGySgt 7. If you happen to see the MGySgt in the barracks after 1630,
he's probably just walked over from the club half lit and looking for a
ride home (Hide the WM's).
SgtMaj 7. If you happen to see the SgtMaj in the barracks after 1630,
he's probably just passing through on his 80 mile run making sure his
Duty NCOs are reading their knowledge and following their General
Orders. (Hide the MGySgt and the WM's.)
MGySgt 8. If you happen to run into the MGySgt in the field, he's
probably sitting on a lawn chair, chewing on a fat cigar and messing
with the Lieutenants. He'll probably have a six pack of warm brownie
pops in his ALICE pack.
SgtMaj 8. If you happen to run into the SgtMaj in the field, he'll
probably be checking his fire watches in full combat load with cammie
paint on and chewing on some Lance Corporal's behind for wearing faded
cammies. He'll probably have a set of dumbbells, extra chevrons, a
couple of charge sheets and the Drill Manual tucked away in his ALICE
pack.
MGySgt 9. If you happen to see the MGySgt at the Marine Corps Ball,
he's probably about half a beer past smacking some Lieutenant and
working on getting smacked by Sue Ellen for staring at that LCpl's date.
He'll buy you a drink if you'll listen to his story about back in the first
Gulf War and help him carry all of his medals out to the cab when it's
time to go.
SgtMaj 9. If you happen to see the SgtMaj at the Marine Corps Ball,
he's probably drinking a watered down Pepsi and squaring away the
Lieutenant's National Defense Medals. His wife's not there because the
Corps didn't issue him one. He can't buy you a drink because he spent
all his cash buying the senior SgtMaj's drinks. He will remind you that
he's been to the drill field three times and that he spent the last six
months preparing the ceremony. "Who's on duty?"
MGySgt 10. If you happen to see a MGySgt talking to a SgtMaj he's
probably got his hands buried in his pockets and calling him by his
first name. He'll probably be thinking about what rank he was in 1990
when the SgtMaj came in and how he got so many stars on his drill
instructor ribbon.
SgtMaj 10. If you happen to see a SgtMaj talking to a MGySgt he's
probably standing at parade rest busy making sure that every sentence
ends in Master Gunnery Sergeant. He'll probably be thinking about what
grade (in school) he was in back in 1979 when the MGySgt came in and
how he got so many stars on his good conduct ribbon.
