Hahaha! I have seen plenty of Marines that dropped their pack and gave the Corps the middle finger, in all stages of career. That is actually a good thing. If a Marine is a non-hacker, and wants to quit, it is an awesome thing that his fellow Marines were able to weed him out to make that decision.
One of the worst things is actually making it to combat, then coming up with that decision. In the Corps, we police our own. That is likely why this young motivator had a sudden epiphany! :D
Any responsible unit would send him to HQ RBE working parties for the remainder of his enlistment. That way the Corps can get back one-way-or-another the money, time, and resources it put into him

Sgt David Wyble the only part I would argue with you is your statement about getting back what they put in. Having him on working parties for three years would still not get back the money it costs in basic training for one marine. Parachute tester might be a good role for him though, Crash test dummies are way more than the Basic Training costs.

Good discussion as long as it begins with the knowledge that this particular story is from a humor blog, thus completely made up to make you laugh.

I saw that, yet it is a common sight sadly to say in the Marine Corps. Love Duffelblog, they hit the nail on the head

SGT David Baker - What I love about duffelblog is that they write their satire in a way that it is plausible, if not reminiscent of real life. In this case satire or no, Sgt David Wyble made good points about the handling of said individual.
