What the fuck is going on with the Corps! Marine gets killed at Marine Barracks playing the "trust game"!!!????

via the Washington Post.

A week ago, Lance Cpl. Cody S. Schoenfelder invited his parents to see him at his new job in Washington. The 19-year-old Marine took his South Dakotan parents to the U.S. Capitol and showed them the Marine Barracks complex on Capitol Hill, where he stood sentry.
On Friday evening, authorities say, Schoenfelder shot himself in the head at the barracks buildings in Southeast Washington, where the Marine commandant lives. He died Saturday in what D.C. police say is being investigated as an accident.
Two D.C. police officials said Schoenfelder was shot inside a guard shack and there was a second Marine with him at the time. Investigators are exploring the possibility that a gun accidentally discharged as the Marines were playing the game “Trust,” in which one points a weapon at the other, according to those two officials and a third person in law enforcement, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The Marine’s parents, Nick and Gena Schoenfelder, are waiting for his body to be returned to Huron — a city of 12,000 in South Dakota’s glacial lake and prairie region — where he will be buried. Gena Schoenfelder, 48, said they are awaiting delivery of a report and had not heard details of how the shooting occurred.
“Ever since he was 9 years old, all he talked about was joining the military,” said Nick Schoenfelder, 51. “It was because of 9/11, I thought. He was just a good Midwestern farmboy who wanted to serve his country.”
The D.C. police and Marines released few details of the shooting. It occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the 19th-century barracks complex known as 8th and I, for the streets that intersect at its main entrance. Police said the shooting happened near the 1000 block of Seventh Street SE, near a gated entrance to the grounds.

The Marine Corps is in a tailspin.   The fact that a Junior Marine could die in this manner is some 1970's bullshit.  This shouldn't be happening in todays Marine Corps.  Someone is dropping the ball.  We're not talking about a murder suicide where a Commanding Officer (who could not possibly know that this was about to occur) was relieved of command....This isn't some Marines on a gun line trying to cut corners so that they can get rounds down range faster.  This is a negligent discharge just a few feet from the Commandants Home.  Yeah.  This is bullshit.

Consider this.  Change Agents always push  change as the end result, never attempting to figure out how an organization gets to that end state.

The term "disruptive" is all the rage today.  Disruptive environments.  Disruptive planning.

What these Change Agents and Disruptive Gurus fail to tell the sheep that try and adopt their policies is that Change/Disruption is chaotic.

Maybe I'm being alarmist but take a look at what the Marine Corps has been hit with, and what its going and about to go through and tell me that it isn't approaching chaos.

We need new leadership.

Amos has to go.
