This Cpl was "that" Marine. Completely useless. He screwed up EVERY duty I stuck him on. They ranhim off haircut duty because half the Marines in the ship wanted to throw him overboard. Ship's Platoon wouldn't take him. That's like permanent maintenance duty. How can you not handle a scrub brush without pissing someone off?
There's a say in the Corps: "There are no untrainable Marines - only failed leaders". WRONG! he was Sad Sack from the boot laces up.
