File: Supply Marines
OKINAWA, JAPAN - Supply Company Gunnery Sergeant Dan Williams confirmed today that despite a wide range of accomplishments and experiences in the Corps, he had absolutely no idea what an infantry Sergeant was saying during a conversation yesterday morning.
"He came into my shop asking my Marines about gear he would need for 'CAX' over in '29 Stumps,'" explained a flabbergasted Williams of Sergeant Mitch Henderson. "Then he said his Marines were at the 'ASP' with the 'BLT' awaiting the 'FRAGO' from the 'skipper.' I didn't want to look stupid, so I just kept nodding and telling him we'd take care of him."
