Amusing script. I don't know how often TOP's visits were, but sometimes one has to suck it up to get along. It seems that TOP and SS actually had a lot in common. Both wanted to have the last word, so to speak. May be it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship--or maybe not. Fun use of ASS-U-ME. Interesting insight into military personalities trying to get along. judi

Top Panter would read over the meteorological manual in the morning and quiz me like he was an authority on the subject. He wasn?t.

Sounds like he was trying to get under your skin. He surely had more urgent things to do. judi

I can see that would be annoying! judi
Comment from brenda faye curtis
This is another good one! For some reason it reminds me of the old joke, "Who's on first, What's on second." I know it's an old one, but I always liked it. There does seem to be the theme of talking at length about absolutely nothing, with a nice little twist at the end. It's a good skit!

I had him say the assume thing enough to set up the punch line.

It works!
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
The Master Gunnery Sergeant had a had time getting correct behavior into Sgt. Schott's head, but I suspect you were (er...he...was) young and cocky, with not a lot of interest in authority. You (he) thought you might very well become a master sgt. too, and acted like it.

Marines are in a state of controlled chaos. In some ways they are a highly trained horde of pit bulls.

The account of this interaction proves without question, assumption or doubt that some sergeants need better hobbies. Harassing other sergeants is a poor hobby, especially when there are lots of lower ranking personnel who are far more inclined to participate without complaining or seeking ways to get even.

Based on a true story.

I felt that. So sad and pointless. Some people feel they can only become important by making someone else seem unimportant.

Great read! The memories of my husband's military background came rushing back. It is such a different world. Your development and dialogue were very good and the last "punch line" caused a smile. Well done.

LOL! I'm guessing this was loosely based on some biographical experience. (or am I ASS-uming too much?) Great job with the humor. Glad you can have us laugh with you about characters like TOP who was the same rank as SS so I'm not sure why he keeps pulling rank.

Thanks, lyenochka, for this terrific review. I sent you a rank structure which shows Schott as an E-5 and Top as an E-9.

You made the hard-ass, Master Gunnery personality show, which illuminated the nervousness in Sergent's character. Your characters development makes the play.
