Sgt Grit: USMC FORCE REDUCTION PLAN

1. AS A RESULT OF SENATE PROPOSED FORCE REDUCTIONS AND BUDGET CUTS THE HEADQUARTERS MARINE CORPS HAS DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL. THIS PROGRAM IS UNDER TEST PHASE AND WILL BE EFFECTIVE 1 JANUARY 2012. UNDER THIS NEW PROGRAM, OLDER MARINES WILL BE ASKED TO GO ON EARLY RETIREMENT, THUS PERMITTING THE RETENTION OF THE YOUNGER MARINES WHO REPRESENT THE FUTURE. THEREFORE, THIS PROGRAM WILL PHASE OUT OLDER MARINES BY THE END OF THE FY 2012. 3. SLAPPED MARINES CAN REQUEST A REVIEW OF THEIR PERSONNEL RECORDS BEFORE ACTUAL RETIREMENT TAKES PLACE. THIS PHASE OF THE PROGRAM IS CALLED SURVEY OF CAPABILITIES OF RETIRED EARLY WORKERS (SCREW). ALL MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN SLAPPED OR SCREWED MAY FILE AN APPEAL WITH THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND WITH FINAL AUTHORITY AT HQMC MMEA. THIS IS CALLED STUDY BY HIGHER AUTHORITY FOLLOWING TERMINATION (SHAFT). 4. UNDER THE TERMS OF THE NEW POLICY, A MARINE MAY BE SLAPPED ONCE, SCREWED TWICE, BUT MAY BE SHAFTED AS MANY TIMES AS HQMC DEEMS APPROPRIATE. IF A MARINE FOLLOWS THE ABOVE PROCEDURES, HE/SHE WILL BE ENTITLED TO GET HALF EARNINGS FOR RETIRED PERSONNEL'S EARLY SEVERANCE (HERPES) OR COMBINED LUMP-SUM ASSISTANCE PAYMENT (CLAP), UNLESS HE/SHE ALREADY HAS ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM DEPENDENTS OR SPOUSE (AIDS). 6. THE MARINE CORPS WISHES TO ASSURE THE YOUNGER MARINES WHO REMAIN ON BOARD, THAT THE MARINE CORPS WILL CONTINUE IT’S POLICY OF TRAINING MARINES THROUGH OUR SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (SHIT). THE MARINE CORPS TAKES PRIDE IN THE AMOUNT OF SHIT OUR MARINES CAN RECEIVE. OUR MARINES TAKE MORE SHIT THAN ANY OTHER SERVICE. IF ANY MARINE FEELS THEY DO NOT RECEIVE ENOUGH SHIT AT THEIR CURRENT BASE, SEE YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR. In March of 1969, when I got to Danang, Vietnam, I was a green 19 year-old radio operator with the 11th Marines. About that time, the movie, "True Grit" came out with John Wayne, who played the part of a US Marshall. A born and bred Okie, naturally, I got stuck with the nickname "Grit". I'd like to say it was because of my John Wayne type persona, but unfortunately, it was only because I was from Oklahoma. As I moved up in rank, Grit moved up with me and I became "Sgt Grit". I was in Vietnam from March, 1969 to October, 1970 and loved it so much, I even extended my tour. When I started this business in 1989, my wife suggested I take back the name, Sgt Grit.
