Lance Corporal sentenced to 20-Year career, vows to take vengeance on subordinates

Sgt. Jessica Bauerlien, a student in the Basic Career Planners course, learns the best methods for getting a Marine to reenlist even after they've repeatedly said they'd rather jump off a bridge.

"You've got to regulate all those of lower rank, sure, but I'm not going to be a total dick about it now that I've re-upped for four more years," said Lance Corporal Benjamin Andrews, despite scientific evidence showing he will turn into a "huge douche" once he hits Corporal, and it's "all downhill from there" according to close friends.
