Sounds like you'be met some BM's that remind you of some kids that use to abuse you as a child. Trust me, I can say the same about some retard GM's that were sniffing way too much gun oil down in the aromory!! How many collateral duties does a GM have anyway besides cleaning guns? Most SAI's I've seen are BM's or MK's!! Just sit back and support us like a good little GM's so we can go save lives and enforce the laws!! Here, go clean my .40 for me will ya!!

Sounds like you have too much time at small boat stations. Get on a big white one and you will realize that the big thing with the barrel sticking out, up on the pointy end of the ship, requires a bit more knowledge then the average BM picks up cleaning a .40.

And then, should another little skirmish like the one I was in many years ago pop up, you will learn your only job is to keep the deck painted after the shell casings ding it up. Now that BM's have the QM job too, you will also be somewhat responsible for getting that gun to the location where it's needed.

Hopefully you will be able to deal with the stress of being far enough out to sea (you know, that big body of SALT water?) that you can't actually see land.

20 years and all you made was E5?? You suck! Don't worry, I've passed more lighthouses by ship then you have stop signs in your car! Oh and I have been on a big white one with that piece of crap on the front of the ship that can't hit the "killer tomato" from 3 miles away. We got the ship were it needed to go, just the FT's couldn't aim it and the GM's couldn't keep it working. Oh and for CHGuns, you're probably some GM3 stuck at some armory in a sector counting bullets and being disgruntled..its ok, go smoke a cig and watch "future weapons" on the discovery channel and dream about weapons you'll never see.

Wow that BM1Sailor be a Salty Dawg, Big White one he says. Can't deny you of that, I have heard of not being able to put ordnance on tgt, stupid lousy italian weapons. I will pass a couple of stop sign tonight on my way to the sitting down in front of the Discovery channel to see how real weapons work , I will probably drift off in a slumber with visions of returning honors to Lighthouses passing down my port side . I digress this is much to salty talk for this forum. Lighthouses and stops signs that is so funny...what are you 18? why don't you run off to the parlor for some tattoos to go with your tough talk.
CHGuns send pictures of Crazy Horse...PRONTO!

Well as hard as it may be for the future station GM's to take its true. Unless you think that a GM3 or GM2 is going to argue with a CWO, BMCM,or BMCS.

I'll venture to say Stan is talking about himself. Just like me, he will never take orders from a BM, just a fact of where we are at in life. Obviously everyone takes orders from someone if they are in the Military, even the Commandant has his boss. But getting back to the original post it was about what someone would do as an OinC regarding the use of a GM at their station. Some on here who are not OinCs nor even Chiefs for that matter seem to think only their little experience and narrow views are valid. Silly little comments like "if you're not a BM or have never been at a station then your point is meaningless bs" show how some people given any little bit of authority can easily slip into the poor leadership trait of not being able to value the opinions of anybody that is not in lockstep with their thinking. Others had open minds and valued the thought of having a "source expert" to utilize.
