They have no contact with the enlisted ranks other than for ceremonial purposes. The same thing can be said for 1st Sergeants too, Master Sergeants and Master Gunnery Sergeants still hang out with the Soldiers/Marines.Rebel Without a Cluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825345954722250736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-32209979207402746302017-07-18T08:33:43.410-04:002017-07-18T08:33:43.410-04:00If you want to pay them more for more responsibili...If you want to pay them more for more responsibility, attach a bonus to the position, not a rank hike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-10067953284231942812017-07-18T08:11:23.008-04:002017-07-18T08:11:23.008-04:00Unrealistic, NOT needed and the Gunny is absolutel...Unrealistic, NOT needed and the Gunny is absolutely correct!<br /><br />HOOAH!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-40258717033898744452017-07-18T07:26:58.087-04:002017-07-18T07:26:58.087-04:00A complete and unnecessary crock of crap!
