- Retired Sergeant Major, Angela Maness talks about her time in the Corps, over coming obstacles and how to be the best Marine you can be.
(U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Samantha Bray)
I absolutely love her...I served with her on deployments and worked for her as her company GySgt..She signed my paperwork to become a Drill Instructor...
She is one of my mentors..
She is freaking amazing.
She is an awesome lady. I served in the Royal Canadian Navy for thirty-five years and saw the advent of females at sea. I was privileged to have sixty plus females onboard HMCS Preserver when I was Coxswain. They were as good and in many cases better than all the men I had sailed with throughout the years. Well done Sergeant Major, Angela Maness. You are a wonderful example to those who come behind you.
Semper Fidelis SgtMaj Maness! I met you when you were at MCAS Cherry Point before your tour at 8th & I. Thanks for all you have done.
I had the outstanding pleasure to serve with and work for the SgtMaj...The absolute best of the best that Marine Corps DNA has ever had to offer! Mentor for life!
No better words spoken. As a retired Senior NCO and a Black man I remember being told what I could not do in 1973. Fast forward 22 years. I spent 16 years in Europe and the Middle East. I owe everything good thing that came my way because of my foundation from the United States Army. Hooah.
It's tough, at first, but you made it, with all my respect... Semper Fidelis Marines...!!!
Fuck you and this country we are suffering in. America is a scam.
nice bait fuck stick :D

This is not about the far left. Right is right and wrong is wrong. She paid her dues and accomplished a hell of a lot. I hate political correctness. But at the same time if you can’t see the good that women have brought to the Corps, you are sadly mistaken. I know a WM who has been out of uniform for years who does something daily for the Corps and has a son in Recon. She represents the Marine Corps with honor and can still fit in her blues after 28 years off active duty and still looks young.
WM🤔
Left, Right, Middle, doesn't fucking matter. A Marine is a Marine, regardless of sexual orientation, gender (or lack thereof), race, fucking whatever. I've seen Marines in action and it's some motivating shit. When it all boils down to the lead flying past you and the warrior next to you, the only thing that matters is your fellow Marine.
I’m a civilian but I know at the end of the day you are still a Marine and no one can ever fucking take that away semper fi
Congratulations SgtMaj of Marines. Never met you personally, however you’re reputation proceeds you. Wishing you the very best and enjoy this assignment. Makes me feel good to see straight shooters continue to inspire and take care of our Marines.

I met the SGTMAJ at the Marine Corps League Georgia Department Convention at the National Convention in Daytona Beach. She is squared away and an excellent Marine. It’s motivating to hear her speak. Semper Fi SGTMAJ.
This is a Marine I am inspired by. There are many, but this Marine humbles me as so many have. I mattered too, but again feeling humble.
Just found this post, so a little late to say congratulations. I'm an old Marine (69 to 73). I've always got pissed when someone would say " Look a Woman Marine" , I would correct them and say, Nope that is a MARINE. I don't care who you are, if won the right to wear the uniform of a United States Marine you are only the best of this country, you are a MARINE
My salute is towards the women of the United States Marine Corps who are and continuing to break barriers coming from a proud American patriotic man of color, semper fi.
Semper Fi Sister God Bless you and our Corps
A Marine is a Marine no matter Male or Female. Semper Fi. SgtMaj. Raaaah! From a Marine to all other fellow Marines Stay Mottor, Stay Salty and above all else Stay Disciplined.
A lot of motivations from brave woman. We're so proud of you. Thanks for your works. May God bless you.
I served with her in 1999. She was a great leader and inspiration and made me a better Marine at the time. Thank you and oohrah “Gunny” Maness.
Worked with her when she was SgtMaj here at Cherry Point, great Marine, great and generous lady👍👍 Hope all is well Angela!! Semper Fi!!
Semper fi!! Sgt maj Maness

OORAH! SGT MAJ. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to this great nation of ours! Diversity is our greatest asset!
I served with her on Camp Lejeune. Outstanding leader and Marine!
Respect!
Semper Fidelis SgtMaj Maness!
Thanks for your love and support towards me I really appreciate. I will like you to send me a massage via my private email: genjosephmmartin7@gmail.com
You went in when I was getting out, Oct 18 1983 to Oct 17 1987. In my day color guard was done by height. Basically they wanted Marines around 6 feet. I'm 5'3. I was never getting on color guard. I got out a Corporal. The closest I got to a SgtMaj. was my dad who retired in 1981 after 30 years and 2 tours in Vietnam.
Beautiful Sgt Angela Maness
Semper Fi. Retired Sgt. Maj. Maness.
So proud of you an all the women who stood there ground and said oh yes i can. I also was one of the first women in Naval Aviation, I was proud to lead the way for other women. Thank you for your outstanding service.
Felicitaciones señora !
Semper Fi SgtMaj!
God bless you and semper fi, Marine
No one ever stops talking about being the guide in boot camp...all jokes, a great Marine and a well deserved Retiree, Semper Fidelis
Das my buddy. Ms. Perseverance! Honor to serve with the Lady.
You ROCK Ma’am!
Oooraah Sgt Major of Marines
Thank you Sgt Maj. You should become a school teacher
Thank you, Sergeant Major!
Sgt Maj I wish we would have served together Semper Fi GySgt Retired October 1973 - October 1993
The one and only, god bless you!
Bravo Sgt. Maj. Maness!!! Semper Fi on a job WELL DONE!
Personally as a former member of the Australian Army, I don't think there should be things like a Women Marines Association or shit like that. You want diversity? You want women in this and that, over here and there doing this job and that job? Have them doing that. But don't make special exceptions for them, or groups or associations, none of that. My sister is a feminist and I can say right now that most women want to be treated the same as men. There is no Male Marines Association, no special groups or whatever. No, give them the same EVERYTHING that you give to men. It's how I treated my soldiers until I transferred from regular Army into 2CDO, which sadly is all men (in fighting roles, that is). But even then, every soldier I met I asked them (when appropriate) "do you have women under your command?" Nine times out of ten they'd answer yes, and I'd correct them, "no, you have soldiers. Women want equality, then they have to deal with the same shit men do." It's a philosophy my kids have taken with them, including my daughter.
Outstanding sar-major. Bring it like a big dog.
Awesome show !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Strange; I must have been a different Corps! MOST of the WMs I served with packed the gear to serve in the Corps! However some, like male Marines, just did the minimum and found ways to “kiss-up” to the boss!

would be proud of this fine Sgt Major

@@CPTdrawer22 but America is objectively a bad genocidal scientifically retarded, historically oppressive and destructive sham of a society you can't disagree with the facts. Fentynal killed how many Americans? While cannabis has been illegal how many years?
F....yeah! Girl Power all the way!
way wrong answer Chica. She should be nothing other than MARINE power.
Oh my God oh my God
BRAVO. US NAVY CORPSMAN VIETNAM WAR.
Aye aye ma'am.
I transferred to 3rd Anglico admin unit Long Beach, CA in late '85 for a three month attachment from WPNS CO 2/5, 81s platoon. There was a cute WM named Sgt. Kennedy there. She and I would hang out and work-out at the on-base gym. She was really cool...I've never forgot her. I wonder if she remembers me.
In a uniform, the Marine should only be known for being a stud in their MOS. Nothing else matters. 83-92 due to defense budget cutbacks.
I tried that and my command shut me down. You got lucky.
I bet for sure that if she had ever served in combat, she may have made a difference. Being a garrison Marine is ok, but in a war fighting organization. Well hell, you wouldn't know nothing about that.
Damn why did she gotta be Retired... And to be honest she looked young like in here thirty's

По английски many -деньги ! Маринес! Марина

Now that's a badass female.
She should be known as a badass Marine instead.
Hey Wallace phone say what was all
without HATE, what I saw was pathetic. Women were assigned a quota for boards. WMs only competed against the 10% of women in the command. The men competed with the 1000+ men. I finished boot camp 1983. I was selected for the Naval Academy Prep School as a token alone with no follow through intent. She graduated as LCpl. Many WMs entered the USNA reaching Corporal in 6 months from that boost. Marines quickly earned Cpl as they were ensured 6 yr contracts, guaranteed PFC from boot camp, LCpl from school, and Cpl after 1 year in the FMF; NO demonstrated leadership.
This is a load of crap. I was in the Corps in 1987, taking orders from female sergeants in my unit.
