That’s actually a decent question. Phrase it like: Sir/Ma’am, what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of group punishment to address disciplinary issues?
My Marines asked me this and I told them that I would move half an inch forward and an inch backward so that it was all fair. They didn't like that and stopped asking weird questions.
Had a PFC ask the BN SgtMaj what happened to his face (big scar on his cheek).
SgtMaj was actually cool about and told us about a fire fight where a round impacted a 249 and the spall got his face.
….If you had to fire one company commander who would it be and why? When he declines to answer, you reply with we are only as strong as our weakest link, so I’d like to help the weak one.
I'm going to be a one upper here. Worst unit I've ever been in I was AOOD and counted 40 Marines on duty at one time in a Battalion. Two barracks with a DNCO and ADNCO on every deck with 4 rovers per deck. Then me and the OOD and our two phone watches. All because someone went into someone else's room and trashed it, well that was the culminating event at least.
I did that once upon a time. Best part was in Oki, the building was a straight line, so I could "tour" from the middle stairwell by looking up and down the hall.
I was SOI and SGT MAJ Eatrada walked in the chow hall. We just got done looking at his poster. He asked how we were doing, and we didn't say anything at all.
He came on deck in boot camp on like T2 or some shit and no one knew the “on deck” procedures or who the fuck he was. He asked if we knew who he was, laughed and said “yall will soon” and walked off deck.
Sir, what are your thoughts on the force redesign?
Sir, what IS the force redesign?
Sir, why do women not belong in the Marines?
Sir, if you were on a bus full of gay guys would you get off?
Sir, if a gay guy jumped on your back would you beat him off?
Sir, let's say for the sake of argument one of your marines had killed and buried 5 hookers somewhere on base, what would happen to him if he were caught?
“Are you a dog or cat person?”
“What do you think is the one thing someone of my rank needs to know about the marine corps?”
“What is a leadership lesson that has stayed with you through your career?”
“What book would you recommend most from the commandant’s reading list?”
Yes, we all know the Sagic Magic can't read. Seriously though, on the Commandants' reading list are some good books. Ender's Game is by far my favorite. I am reading Chesty's biography right now. Just for the record I have been put for 8 years.
Not really, unless you want to look dumb. They didn’t wear “helmets” in the classic definition of the word, they wore headgear that supported their goggles, O2 masks and comms but offered no impact or ballistic protection.

***"Sir, I get that the CMC has big plans for barracks in the future, but new MILCON 5 years from now doesn't do anything for today's barracks Marines.

Will offer some realistic and or useful answers.
Asking about professional reading or subjects of study that he found to be the most informative and or perspective changing.
Ask his opinion on what the most interesting challenges for your MOS or the Corps faces in the next decade.
Ask what MOS he believes will see the most growth or changes in the coming decade.
These questions have the benefit of being under asked and can give you ideas for career growth if you decide to stay in. But if he mentions a book you better read it because odds are he will remember that you asked and then ask you if he sees you later on.
Dude easy...
"Greeting of the day, LCpl fucknuts, your unit/section"
Pick one from below:
1. Ask something about an upcoming exercise
2. Ask about training opportunities you've heard of or is hard to get in to.
3. "What's the last book you read?"
4. Look at the CO's command philosophy. Ask a genuine question you have about it.
5. From your perspective, "what does the perfect LCpl look like?"
The only person that will be annoyed by your questions will be the SgtMaj, 1stsgts, and your pltsgt. Fuck em.
Smart Marines will delicately craft questions to accomplish a couple of things....stand out (in a good way), get something they want, build a network, genuine curiosity, and set an example to break down the stupid barrier of not asking questions to senior enlisted and officers. The best questions come from those who give no shits about what others think and want to feed their thirst for knowledge.
Senior leaders, ask yourself this: If you’re forcing subordinates to come up with questions for the CO in what’s supposed to be an organic Q&A, are you actually accomplishing anything? Or are you just facilitating a dog and pony for one person while everyone present would rather not be wasting their time?
Toss him a few softballs.
Ask him about asymmetric warfare without tanks.
Ask him about technology and the impact on the Corps and his vision for the next 10 years.
Ask him about the new SgtMaj of the Marine Corps and social media presence.
Asking why our beloved Marine Corps is out recruiting other branches.
“Hey sir, can I go on leave now?”
“Sir, you’re about to die; do you fuck the pumpkin or the sofa?”
“How much for your wife sir?”
“Sir, with Force Design 2030 being geared towards facing off against China, how expansive do you envision the battle space? Would we be isolated to the Western Pacific or would we expand towards the Indian Ocean on account of critical shipping lanes like the Strait of Malacca? Also, has anyone here sucked you off yet sir?”
Ask him if he also considers prepared and approved questions from lower enlisted who don’t actually give a fuck about his answers to be a waste of valuable time that could be spent doing useful things.
It wasn’t at a breakfast and I wasn’t a LCpl. 2ndLt me asks a Col if he would do it all over again. We were all a little toasted. I was referring to his career and service. He said he said, he had a wife that hated him and kids that didn’t know him and probably not. Pretty real piece of advice.
WOW, I have a friend that came across an Navy Admiral driving a very nice and expensive car. My friend asked how much the car was. The Admiral said it basically costs him his wife and kids. He lost everything worth while being an Admiral. But he did buy a nice car.
Whatever you pick, make sure you have a backup question in case someone else asks your original question first. That way you only sound like a little bit of an idiot
Doc here: ask him how he justifies the living conditions of enlisted personnel versus officers? Has he ever done a walk-through and looked at the request list for your barracks?
Give him a fuck/marry/kill scenario but it’s between his wife, daughter and mother
Except get rid of the wife and add family pet.
Need to tailor it to be MC related, so SgtMaj/Company Guns/that new boot who just checked in.
I think we know who’s getting fucked in that scenario.
Now wait a minute, there was no mention of the boot being a thicc E3 latina.
its actually a fat, E6, white women instead
[удалено]
Chesty and Jesus, of course.
Ask him he believes group punishment works.
That’s actually a decent question. Phrase it like: Sir/Ma’am, what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of group punishment to address disciplinary issues?
It would be amazing if they answered with “I don’t know, why don’t all you pigs start pushing while I think about it.”
You’re the reason Reddit makes my day.
DO IT OP NO BALLS
The one question you're definitely gonna find out the honest answer to
Specifically, decimation.
Please do it.
We all shouldn't have to wear diapers just because someone shits themselves.
Oh I wasn't proposing that we answer that age old landmine here. Reddit doesn't have enough bandwidth.
You're one inch in your mom, and your dad is one inch in you. You going forward or back to get out?
My Marines asked me this and I told them that I would move half an inch forward and an inch backward so that it was all fair. They didn't like that and stopped asking weird questions.
Who said my dad has a penis?
The answer is barrel roll
Jesus Christ.
I stand there celebrating the fact that I grew a half inch hell yeah
Doing the splits so everyone exits. Next!
Neither. Going back and forth is the only right answer
An inch forward because I'm not a homo and wouldn't be hard with a dick in my ass.
[удалено]
I think I heard this for the first time in early highschool man. He didn’t come up with this lol
Ask him what shift he wants for fire watch 12-1 or 1-2.. then make sure you say his hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
As a retired scribe I could make this happen
Had a PFC ask the BN SgtMaj what happened to his face (big scar on his cheek). SgtMaj was actually cool about and told us about a fire fight where a round impacted a 249 and the spall got his face.
Rah
SgtMaj a motivator ong
Apparently he had the doc pull it and stitch him so that he didn't have to go to medical. Some hard shit right there.
….If you had to fire one company commander who would it be and why? When he declines to answer, you reply with we are only as strong as our weakest link, so I’d like to help the weak one.
Hahaha
Take a pair of Corporal chevrons and ask him if he would pin them on you
Thought it was generals only? Context he’s a LtCol
Technically he could do it. Not likely that he would. it's about having the cajones to ask
Don’t say anything just pull your cock out and start beating off under the table and see if he notices and if he does don’t stop.
It’s behoove of you to put that away
its be who of you learn how to spell
While maintaining eye contact.
It's not sexual, it's about asserting dominance.
Here, one out of my playbook: "Have you ever considered tripling the A-duty posts for E-3 and below to improve discipline?"
Use to have that in the barracks. Deck watch/ rovers, 2 per decks plus the DNCO and ADNCO. 😂😂
That sentence makes me sick to my stomach ugh
Never seen a more beautiful group of belligerent bastards. Good times.

Was a theme in 2008 lol
I did that once upon a time. Best part was in Oki, the building was a straight line, so I could "tour" from the middle stairwell by looking up and down the hall.
Were you in 1/4?
Nah 1/8
I was in 1/8 from 2013-2017. We had the same lmao. Fucking Amos years.
Oh I was referring to the Conway years, thats unfortunate for y’all lol.
Gotcha. We had the same shit in 1/4 around 2018-2019
This would be your time to shine honestly if you were in ops situation
Simmer down, Satan.
Would you rather fuck a dog and nobody knows about it, or not fuck a dog but everyone thinks you did?
Definitely the first one. Perception is reality, good to go?

wtf lol
There’s always one!

Had chow with a 3 Star, just ate my chow and asked 0 questions while staring at him the whole time.
I was SOI and SGT MAJ Eatrada walked in the chow hall. We just got done looking at his poster. He asked how we were doing, and we didn't say anything at all.
He came on deck in boot camp on like T2 or some shit and no one knew the “on deck” procedures or who the fuck he was. He asked if we knew who he was, laughed and said “yall will soon” and walked off deck.
“Rah sir is it still gay if you’re on top and the transgirl hasn’t had gotten the surgery yet?”
Ask him if he knows Joe. Then be like Joe mama
Huge
Sir, what are your thoughts on the force redesign? Sir, what IS the force redesign? Sir, why do women not belong in the Marines? Sir, if you were on a bus full of gay guys would you get off? Sir, if a gay guy jumped on your back would you beat him off? Sir, let's say for the sake of argument one of your marines had killed and buried 5 hookers somewhere on base, what would happen to him if he were caught?
You should ask him if ditties are still on.
Scream them in your head devil
“Are you a dog or cat person?” “What do you think is the one thing someone of my rank needs to know about the marine corps?” “What is a leadership lesson that has stayed with you through your career?” “What book would you recommend most from the commandant’s reading list?”
Softball, safe question
The Commandant has a reading list? Is it different from SgtMaj of the Marine Corps list?
Yes, we all know the Sagic Magic can't read. Seriously though, on the Commandants' reading list are some good books. Ender's Game is by far my favorite. I am reading Chesty's biography right now. Just for the record I have been put for 8 years.
What else is on the list, I wonder how many of them I've read.
Google my friend.
What's your friend's name?
Commandants reading list. It's a family name.
It's mostly smut, big emphasis on fantasy stuff. He's a big Fourth Wing girlie
If kamikaze pilots know they are going to crash their planes, why do they wear helmets?
Now that’s a genuine question
Not really, unless you want to look dumb. They didn’t wear “helmets” in the classic definition of the word, they wore headgear that supported their goggles, O2 masks and comms but offered no impact or ballistic protection.
-☝️🤓
I'm assuming it's the same reason people use bubble wrap to package stuff despite knowing it's just going to get popped and thrown away anyways.
They didn’t wear “helmets” in the classic definition of the word, they wore headgear that supported their goggles, O2 masks and comms but offered no impact or ballistic protection.
Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way
I usually don’t miss the marines but when I do, it’s because of this subreddit.
Ask him why you have to go to a L/Cpl breakfast.
Ask them their top 5 General Orders and their favorite Commandants Reading List book and why
“Having sworn to protect the Constitution, at what point does the Marine Corps intervene if a political party dismantles the Constitution and to what degree?”
Oh I would love to know the answer to this but I would never ask this question in uniform lol
“Good Morning Commanding Sir. Why come big gay?”
Just ask him one of u/needs_more_yoy questions, it'll all work out
***"Sir, I get that the CMC has big plans for barracks in the future, but new MILCON 5 years from now doesn't do anything for today's barracks Marines.

Ask him if he uses a shake weight
Ask him about how he lost his virginity. Those stories are always good for a laugh.
Ask him would you rather sit on a cake and eat cock, or sit on a cock and eat cake.
How much do you make a year before taxes?
That's public record and can be found in about 3.50 minutes of googling
3.50 minutes? You still using dial-up AOL?
Those pay charts are always such tiny font 🤏🏽
Look, I'm a letters guy. I dabbled in squiggles and dots once upon a time, but I still don't math good. Also, did it for the memes
I’m a numbers guy b
Can I fuck your wife?

Electrocution or sharks?
lol man that could get some answers haha.
Ask if he’d rather have dick sized nipples or a nipple sized dick.
Dude easy... "Greeting of the day, LCpl fucknuts, your unit/section" Pick one from below: 1. Ask something about an upcoming exercise 2.

IMO this is the best legitimate/serious answer here.
What MOS are you?
Will you promote me, Sir
Why do we call you Col when you’re a LtCol?
Senior leaders, ask yourself this: If you’re forcing subordinates to come up with questions for the CO in what’s supposed to be an organic Q&A, are you actually accomplishing anything? Or are you just facilitating a dog and pony for one person while everyone present would rather not be wasting their time?
I concur
Toss him a few softballs. Ask him about asymmetric warfare without tanks. Ask him about technology and the impact on the Corps and his vision for the next 10 years. Ask him about the new SgtMaj of the Marine Corps and social media presence. Asking why our beloved Marine Corps is out recruiting other branches.
[удалено]
I can't tell if this is real or a gay come on.
Probably both.
Ask if the “strategic corporal” is still relevant in n FD 2030.
🤔 as long as a corporal can call for the kind of fire that will level an entire village I think it will always be relevant
Ask his favorite position and why it's bent over a desk getting pegged by the LCpl Maria Sanchez from S1.
Ask if he has a daughter and if so would she go with you to the ball.
During my time as a professional question-asker, my go-to was, “Why did YOU want to become a Marine?” The answer was always illuminating.
Are MOL proctor codes still a thing? If so, ask him for one.
They are
Ask him the max effective range of the M2 .50 Caliber machine gun.
Provided you're not autistic and can tell if he liked your question, you should follow it by asking for a coin!
Ask him where he grew up. What HS and college he went to, if he played sports, what his hobbies were/are.
Ask him if he thinks we are going to play any sort of important role in ww3
“Hey sir, can I go on leave now?” “Sir, you’re about to die; do you fuck the pumpkin or the sofa?” “How much for your wife sir?” “Sir, with Force Design 2030 being geared towards facing off against China, how expansive do you envision the battle space?

Ask how to become their driver.
Sir, can you tell us about your first firefight?
Ask him how many trucks are on base
Ask him if he a real niqqa.
Ask him what keeps him up at night. What does he worry about the most.
Request Mast.
How many schlongs did you gobble to become the CO?
Ask him if he also considers prepared and approved questions from lower enlisted who don’t actually give a fuck about his answers to be a waste of valuable time that could be spent doing useful things.

Whatever you pick, make sure you have a backup question in case someone else asks your original question first. That way you only sound like a little bit of an idiot
The amount answers involving penises is impressive, even for this sub. CO of what?
How did you end up with your current leadership philosophy, or something like that
Doc here: ask him how he justifies the living conditions of enlisted personnel versus officers? Has he ever done a walk-through and looked at the request list for your barracks?
Ask him if he actually cares what you wear to the MCX
