Just curious... Is it impossible to be a white Sgt Major of the Marine Corps?

That, and bring back the green sweats. The track suit is dumb, and expensive to replace. Wandering down to the seven day store to replace ripped green sweatpants for around $8 or whatever was awesome.

The one currently serving us white. There were three black SMMCs before him, then it was all white back to the inception of the position.

And stupid racial comments aside, congratulations to him! I'm willing to bet he busted his ass to get there.

I would have been happy if Sgt Maj Kasal became next SMMC

He was swinging in the wing since he got his third rocker and diamond. Before that, arty.

I think the lock was sealed with the swimming comment a few posts back.

WTF?

And it looks like 1 deployment to the GWOT as a helo squadron SgtMaj. On the drill field during the Gulf War. (if his bio is accurate on the I MEF website).

The people I know who know him have nothing but good to say about him.

He was an 0811 prior to becoming an 8999; so he came from a combat arms background.

I honestly I believe of the finalists he was the best candidate. One in the recent past literally was heard making racist comments and the on everyone was pushing for had not done a good job as a Div SgtMaj
