A weapons platoon will usually have a first lieutenant (O-2) and a gunnery sergeant (E-7) due to the generally larger number of Marines (up to 69 in the 81mm mortar platoon) in these platoons (the heavy machinegun platoon being the exception with only 28 members) and the more complex weapon systems employed.
You will never know it all. Admitting to your platoon sergeant that you do not know something is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of honesty. Weakness is the lieutenant who does not take the time to learn their profession and asks the platoon sergeant about everything.Professional development is something you should constantly pursue.Any good program of self-development should include vigorous professional reading.f you do not check something, your soldiers probably will think it is not important to you. Know What You Do Not Know (And Do Something About It). It is a cardinal error for a lieutenant to be a know-it-all.. Nothing turns off the troops faster or brings down morale more than a know-it-all lieutenant.
