Not that it's readily apparent to the casual observer. In an earlier post I mentioned visiting PI in May of this year ... one senior DI, with 18 years in the Corps, upon learning that none of us were former Marine officers ... confided that he and other DI's were frustrated with having to deal with officers whose only goal, it seemed, was to catch a DI breaking some rule of protocol designed to protect recruits. The protocol manual is a whole lot thicker today than it was prior to the Clinton era.
