So few of us can stay so true to ourselves until the very end. It takes honor, courage and commitment to maintain this level of professionalism until the final breath.
Marines of all ranks and strides have found themselves victim to the ire of Staff NCO’s at some point or another. However, the First Sergeant takes the cake as the least likable of them all in an average organized setting. They often find themselves in the predicament of being the highest enlisted authority, while also not being so high to be out of sight (like a Sergeant Major, for instance). As such, they are more common to run into and terribly easy to cross at the wrong moment.
Rest in peace, First Sergeant. May you find Marines to yell at standing post along the streets of heaven.
I’ve encountered many worse Staff Sausages than Fist Sargents. Usually, the later is stuck doing admin nonesense with some Major or LtCol. But the prick-e6 is the ugly middle ground of higher than a Sgt, but not high enough to do Gunny magic. So they stay in this purgatory-like limbo of being arguably useless in most scenarios. Unless, they filling in the role of someone else (i.e. doing a Sgts or a Gunnys job). I just don’t think the wider military actually knows what to do with all these ranks.
