Yup. trojan, dead ground counselling occurs and plenty of officers have been told by their Sergeants to apply for a transfer before they become a casualty. The CO has almost always been briefed by the RSM in these cases and will approve it.
The point I was trying to make to Remoak is that the screaming yelling Hoo hah is unnecessary and often counter productive if you want to produce thinking students with high lelvels of initiative and creativity - something the U.S. Marines are not known for producing (they have other virtues). Even some US Army Officers are fed up with the U.S. marine malarkey.
