Sergeant Major Michael Barrett

CAMP LEJEUNE, NC – As the military marks the one year anniversary of the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy today, the Marine Corps top enlisted leader said "there is still work to be done."

In an exclusive interview with Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Michael Barrett, Duffel Blog reporters asked how he felt about the progress made so far.

“Well obviously, I’m quite pleased with the progress we’ve made,” Barrett said, “but there is still work to be done. For example, this morning I had the opportunity to visit the barracks of 3/8 and, while taking a leak during a walk-through inspection, I observed someone had written ‘Corporal Hanks sucked First Sergeant’s dick for his stripes’ in the head with a sharpie pen. So, there is still work left to be done.���
