At what point does stern NCO leadership shift from an acceptable "chew out" for failing to meet set standard to toxic leadership?

other then his language - which could be better - there is no issue - they failed a standard - end of discussion - if cusswords cause so much "emotional" pain, then what are you going to do when someone is actively trying to kill you - they were not hazed, the order was legal, and if they failed to comply - I would be recommended some ucmj in order to get heir heads out of their ass. Being cussed at is not grounds for insubordination, nor to refuse to comply with the room cleaning - the military is NOT fucking sesame street - grow up and Charlie mike.

The "NCO" that recorded this is a cupcake. This was nothing. I've definitely gotten much worse than that for much less.
A "tight rack" doesn't have wrinkles in it. A tight rack is, indeed, tight. You should be able to bounce a quarter on it.
I once had a 1SG tell me that "Whoopin' your @$$ is just a misdemeanor. It'll take a felony to keep my @$$ from retiring!" If this is what passes for "toxic leadership" in the Marines, then hope is disappearing fast for all branches of service.

I think if they need to be more cognizant of anything it's what they're recording. That situation seems pretty ridiculous to me too, but maybe that's because I originally came into the Army pre-9/11 when you weren't allowed to have feelings because the Army didn't issue them.

It certainly resembles nothing like the open bay barracks I lived in as an E-5 (Marine Detachment).

SFC David Bentley - I think it should emphasized again and again that the military isn't for everyone. Anyone who doesn't have a military background may judge the Corporal as being abusive. However, civilians should know (or be told) the intent of such yelling isn't to make recruits cry or give up, but to motivate them to try harder.

When I was a junior Marine and failed a Field Day my SNCOIC would have to show in his dress uniform which meant I had to be in my dress uniform to re inspect my room on Saturday. Instead of re inspecting my room, I would have to conduct a Chinese Field day, followed by PT. So to answer your question no this is not "Toxic" these are Marines trust me they have heard worst language than this. Everything in the Marine Corps is an learning experience if a Marine can't pay attention to the small details when cleaning his/her room then they could miss the small details else where when it counts ...it all starts with the things Marines do on a day to day basis like cleaning their room, making sure their uniforms are good, Pt, ensuring your weapon is clean the list goes on and on. I wish it was this easy everyone in the video is wearing civies except for the duty, easy day. You also have to remember that the SNCO has to take time out of this Saturday to re inspect a barracks room.
