Got an e-mail today from a MGySgt who was on a list of people that i sent a email out to. Mail was addressed to MARINES- just like that, being that it was going to Marines I figured that it was only appropriate that it should be addressed that way.
Got one back not long after. Goes something like this--
Swansen-
Need to watch your e-mail protocal when sending mail to a number of people including junior enlisted and officers.
Now lets examine this for a sec to see how utterly stupid he sounds. First; if he is going to send me a email back why would he violate this "protocal" why the fuck is he addressing me by JUST my last name. Second; How the hell do you want me to address this?? To: Junior Marines, Senior Enlisted Marines, Company Grade Officers, Field Grade Officers?? Or how about; To all who shall see these presents greeting? (The opening line of a promotion warrant) At any rate it makes me wonder or we that pity to send something like this or don't we have anything better to do with our time? Last time I checked there was a war waiting to be fought.
