Different Types of Sergeants Major

I got the CSM. She really is something else.

CSM Caquias, wherever you are, I wish you the best.

57th Trans Bn.

The operations SGM seems like a chill, down-to-Earth guy, probably on track to become a Warrant Officer. Definitely the kind of NCO I would prefer to have if given the choice.

I see that Diamond Dogs tattoo, Chief. You man of culture, you.

there is no bigger red flag than when a CSM says "we're all a family." ... but for real, he sounds cool

WOW I almost half right faced myself in my living room.

My unit is the exact opposite, stg
Ops only cares about discipline and things being clean, while CSM tries to learn about each soldier personally😂

Wholesome Sarge! Is a real bro that we could all use…. and sometimes we can also use one like OG Sarge

2nd Sgt Major is the kind of guy service members would willingly reenlist for

There was mold 20 years ago, im sure there has always been mold, forever

YOU FORGOT THE “ALRIGHT….what else?”!!!

I served under both types, the cool one got blown up in 05, the shitty one is still stealing good air from the rest of us.....

My first CSM was my best CSM, I'll never forget Sarn't Major Drewitt

I like cool Sgt Maj. But Standard Sgt Maj, is atleast even keel on just about everything

i like operations SM :)
what happens when we break something? XD

In one of my units it was the opposite, CSM was chill and approachable.
While the ops SGM was ranger tabbed dude in a support unit so he was much harsher than most everyone else.

The sergeant major that does a barracks inspection maybe every other year. Then the sergeant major that does a barracks inspection maybe every other deployment.

“Sublasses” 💀 c’mon man…🤦🏾🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♂️

You forgot “Alright…what else?”

I’m so glad I have a GigaCSM in my Battalion. 😂

The best CSM is a combination of both. The old motto of “mission accomplishment and soldier welfare”.

Thumbs up for saying the plural of sgt major correctly.

I had a Sergeant Major give a lecture and yelled at me saying I'm not disciplined after a fight and this dude was caught sleeping with lower enlisted on the daily and I have no discipline

The Captain Sobel vs Major Winters of CSMs

"You're doing birthday pushups, I'll knock 'em out with ya." Yes, king, I will follow you into battle anywhere.

Both types have their place. No one likes the standards and discipline CSM - not even his 2 ex-wives or his kids.

I got a different type. The "never seen outside of formation" type. I never really had a strong CSM. Just the guy who would show up late, give the exact same safety brief, occasionally bitch at the NCOs is someone messed up, tell us the motor pool needed to be swept better, and then disappear.
At one point we had an ops Sergeant major that would make his rounds. I remember him walking up to my buddies and I and being like "why the fuck are you shivering? Its unprofessional. If you had discipline you'd realize infantrymen dont get cold and stop fuckin shivering." When it was like 12°F out. Honestly, it worked.

Sometimes, you have to be both. The key is understanding when it's appropriate. My soldiers knew I had their backs and sometimes soldiers need to be soldiers. However, when I needed to be that guy, I could, but it was always fire and forget. Most of my soldiers thought I was awesome, and I turned a few into fine NCOs. Those few "special cases" hated my guts.

The third one is drinking all day

I must be lucky. Every E-9 I meet is super laid back, has a sweet Grandma/Grandpa tone to them and loves being with the troops.

Bro my master sgt/ acting first sgt atm. Is so fucking chill if your squared away and doing thibgs right.

I’m ‘old’ Army. Many years ago…I prefer the first SGM. You won’t question directives when in combat. The Army is not a democracy.

How much are we getting paid again? ... Oh right minimum wage and Tricare. I'm out. Byeeeee.

Easily the most useless rank in the Army as it is currently employed. This video partly illustrates why.

I always wondered if, somewhere, in the history of the United States Armed Forces, there was ever a corporal named Punishment or a private named Parts.

“There’s mold in the on post housing ughhhh”😂😂😂

Half-Life 3 is more likely for you to come out than you are to get a "fun" or "nice" CSM. At Ft Campbell, anyone above the rank of E-4 was a chain smoking bitter prick if they weren't addressed as "Chief." Seriously, some of the best times ever involved our Chief bringing in grilled brats or holding parties in the motor pool

I was in the National Guard for a brief time and the Sgt. Major we had was old enough to be the father of most of the junior enlisted men. He acted kinda like a cool father figure too. Also, he was so big and physically intimidating that none of us would have dreamed of giving him any lip anyway.

As an E5 working in S3, I agree with having a Ops SGM that chill is awesome. I have a MSG though that is an ass so I get CSM wrapped into a MSG

Quite possibly your most accurate short ever.

Sometimes they're the same SM on different days, those guys scare the crap outta me.

Man you make me laugh and warm my heart at the same time. Merry Christmas Chief 🎄

The Sgt Major we all want: Johnson or spike chin, the ones that everyone gets: Command SgtM or Sixta

There are two Sergeant Majors in you…

Any unit that says "we're all family here", usually means it. Any civilian company that says that crap... is gaslighting you, and will make your life working there a living hell.

I had 2 distinct 1st Sgt’s.

One was a prior Recon guy who was a genuine warfighter.
The other was a refrigeration mechanic.

The POG taught me more about leadership and being a real marine then the warfighter ever did.

Both were good leaders but one I believe really cared about all of us.
Not just his favorites.

Alright, what else

Only 2 sublasses?

Nice where my sergeant major is the strictest person in the world she'll make me do lapse in either tandem gear or one of those massive hiking backpacks that weighs like 40 kg when I was in cadets I was a 12-year-old doing all that

Ops SGM the most chill dude in the fucking unit man I swear. Well aside from whatever CW you got rolling around but that's a doggone unicorn leprechaun, you ain't gon' see him.

Our sgt major rolled up to batallion with a Skateboard
