Nobody cares new admin guy ran diary at recon

REGIMENTAL S-1 — Corporal Ronald Fontenot recently checked in from Recon Battalion and everyone he works with in the Admin shop could care less, sources revealed today.

After his arrival at his new unit sporting silver jump wings, he immediately lamented that there were no jump billets at Regiment. He then remarked how much he missed the "grunt life." Admin Marines began to tune him out as he rambled on about participating in various high speed, low drag events at his old battalion.

Having heard enough, one of his fellow Marines asked about his real world operational experience as evidenced by his "stack." This consisted of a National Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and a Sea Service Deployment ribbon. Fontenot responded with some nonsense about how he got screwed out of some awards he rated.
