The Gunny's Basic Rules

RULE 1 The Gunny is always right.

RULE 2 In the impossible hypothesis that a subordinate or officer may be right, rule 1 becomes immediately effective.

RULE 3 The Gunny does not sleep; he rests.

RULE 4 The Gunny is never late; he is delayed elsewhere.

RULE 5 The Gunny never leaves his work; his presence is required elsewhere.

RULE 6 The Gunny never reads his paper in the office; he studies.

RULE 7 The Gunny never gossips; he dispenses information.

RULE 8 The Gunny never daydreams; he is in weighty deliberation.

RULE 9 Who ever enters the Gunny’s office with a good idea, must leave the office with the Gunny’s idea.

RULE 10 The Gunny is always the Gunny; even in a towel and shower shoes

Outstanding, the best rank in the Corps especially if you were selected for any of the special duty tours (DI, Embassy, Recruiting), which will certainly enhances changes to MSgt or 1stSgt and MGySgt or SgtMaj. Says the Master Guns to the Gunny, “don’t forget my coffee and newspaper on my desk by the time I arrive”. LoL
