What "footlocker counseling" impressed you? My NCO's were mostly WWII and Korea vets and often began war (and garrison) stories of the old Army "Back before etc ..." Their experiences and backrounds were widely varied from an island hopping former Marine to a member of the Lithuanian resistance, a veteran of the Philippine Scouts, and a former officer who was part of Merrill's Marrauders of the Burma Campaign. The stories they told still echo in memory.

My last command was a Marine Corps Security Forces Battalion at Bangor, WA. We guarded nukes and nuclear subs. The Marines that I worked with always had a story to share with me, primarily from Iraqi and Afghani campaigns.

One SGT took his 'back then' tales so seriously, that he treated junior marines and sailors like a total trash.

Countless times did I witness him pulling a junior to a side not only ripping them up, but telling them how good they have it, that they never got shot, never slept in tents, faced sandstorms, burned excrements, etc...

It was truly impressive watching hem express their fond memories of the Middle East
