At first I was going to commend this guy for maintaining his composure. I know I sure as shit would have been pissed. No way I could have kept up with the whole "walking like I have a stick up my ass" routine once the performance went off track. That was impressive. Anyone can walk and turn like that on script, it takes talent to improvise the way he did. Like, does anyone think the marines are out there practicing official marine ways to bend down and pick up rifles when they drop them? I doubt it.
But his steely stoicism aside, two things just didn't sit right with me. Why the hell would the commanding officer be the one that has to go fetch the gun after one of his pee-ons fucked up his whole shining moment? If you're in charge don't you just order that runt to scramble and pick up the gun? If I've learned anything in my time as a middle manager it's that supervising is all about delegation, how else do you think I have all this free time to work on the blog? This guy appears to be the classic work hoarder, just trying to do everything on his own. Probably be the first one to charge out of fox whole before the order is even given.
