Hire them if you need. But don’t give them a uniform you low life. The USMC senior officers are deeply infected with woke.

Dice are tumblin. Are we good, or are we evil.
““How does that line up to a culture of a Marine Corps at roughly 180,000 Marines that go through this exacting training that makes us all one in the same – uniformity in what we do?” Ottignon said. “That’s a cultural thing that we’re going to have to work through.”“
Translation: We are going to shove it down your throats and call it “working through” the cultural thing. Traitors.
I’m not sure I’d consider someone who didn’t go through boot camp to be a real Marine.
There’s no way this could go wrong ever!
Honest!
Now where did they place the issue manicure kits...?
General Pete Alden didn't screw around with this shizz.
I’m sure my post would be yanked if I said what I really think.
They’ve been doing it in government schools, now their after the Marines?
Just damn!
Why not call them Navy Codemen? The new Navy has a fine tradition of highly intelligent techies.
What the hell? Yeah and see how well they take orders. They’ll end up with a bunch of Bradley Mannings, fagatroids flying into bitch snits “Don’t tell me what to do nyaaaah!”
The problem is that “every” Marine needs to be a combat killing machine first and then his/her MOS second. Every Marine is expected to be able to take up command of a squad, platoon etc. on a minutes notice. That requires being trained and tested in leadership in the combat arms and the ability to pick up the weapon and perform in combat.
Having worked with Marines over the years I was always impressed with the maturity of the Marines I dealt with. The junior Marines were just as impressive because they were trained to take the lead when the situation presented and to follow orders to the letter.
Take away boot camp and you lose the leadership part for the Marine “recruit” who has skipped the advancement route. The other Marines will not willingly take orders from those that did not earn the insignia, and if these new “Marines” are not sent into the field or deployed the others will resent them.
Still More #Communist/Democrap_Insanity!
Not a Marine, but just answer this question about this stupid idea number 12,3345 cubed. What makes this idiot think some Marine in civilian life making $90-150K, at the minimum, would come back into the Corp for half or less pay?
Would these boot camp skippers be known as “Transmarines”?
VERY well said!
Probably some Pentagon civilian suggesting eight hours of drill and marching practice...hand them the uniform, then ship them off to the ‘front’.
Agree. That kind of “talent” is contracted/hired.
Military rank implies the right to command and the understanding of the responsibility to exercise that right judiciously. That, in turn, implies experience.
Speaking as a long retired Marine, do we really need some “talent” whose ego can somehow only be assuaged by allowing him or her to claim to be a Marine and hold a certain rank without going through the process of actually earning it?
The Commandant needs to just put on a skirt and move on.
