Accidental Promotion
Hey, I was just working and the my CO walked into my office. I called attention on deck, and then he said "at ease devil dogs." Well he came in to talk to my gunny and everyone else in QA. He asked how we did on the 2ndMAW audit inspection, and my gunny told him that we did good, but had some discrepancies that are currently being fixed. Well, I had already fixed 100 technical publications that were fucked up. Well the reason why I brought the accidental promotion up is because as the CO was leaving he called me Cpl Garcia instead of LCpl. My gunny said that if he was a General that he would have accidently promoted me by saying that. Anyone know anything about that?

Not me. Never heard anything like that but...I'm pretty sure there's lots of stuff I never heard about.

It sounds like it could be true since Generals have a lot of power. But who knows

Doesn`t sound very accurate. We all know generals never make mistakes.

Re: Accidental Promotion
The General could promote you on the spot to Corporal, if he decided that you deserved it, but not by the slipping up.

There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.

Re: Accidental Promotion
I've heard the General promotion thing, but never saw it happen. I thought it would happen to a Marine I used to know because he's banging the General's daughter, but it never happened. Other than that, my friend got promoted to LCPL a month early but that was because admin jacked up. I wish admin promoted me early...

If he was banging the General's daughter wouldn't the General try to demote him?
