One of my shipmates upon passing medical on the way off the ship did not pick up any condoms. HM1 asked him if he needed any. His reply was “gently caress you, doc. Get the shot ready.”

That was over 16 years ago, yet the memory will live in my mind until long after I’ve forgotten my own name.

I know that both disability payments and pensions had a 10% or so adjust this year. I don’t know what index it’s tied to but it adjusts each year.

Did anyone else have a regular recruit huddle in boot camp where that recruit (you know the one- southern, naturally athletic, hid in the bushes on the final PFT to shave 3 minutes off his time) would say a prayer, and then everyone would get really intense,

And then the runt recruit everyone poo poo on constantly would pipe up and squeak:

THIS RECRUIT HAS SOMETHING TO SAY

And step forward, wearing comically too-big yellow'd whitey tighties hanging to his knees because that's what was left after the last mad scramble foot locker dump-and-wagon-wheel,

And he'd squeak something cliche and self-deprecating like,

HEY

IF I CAN DO IT

WE CAN ALL DO IT!

And everyone knew he was only at boot camp because his mom was banging his recruiter and wanted to get him out of the house?

I think about that guy a lot.

I hope he wasn't murdered by an ancient italian landmine planted by some other kid whose mom was banging a recruiter for taliban/AQI

My mom wanting me out of the house was how I ended up in the air force. One off hand remark about joining after half-assing my way through year three of community college, next thing I know I'm getting a call from a recruiter, 5 months later getting yelled at in San Antonio.

And no, no weird recruit huddles. We'd just go in the day room and get yelled at by whoever

I remember I hosed a real big dependa. Met her off of some sketch website that was like the porno version of Facebook or MySpace or some poo poo.

Anyway that pussy stank, probably from getting creampied prior to my arrival repeatedly and without being cleaned out over a few days, so I texted a dude from my FMT-B class (some HM3) and told him “call me and say I have to return back to base immediately, I have duty. Do it now, please.”

He did and I was freed from this very awkward and gross sexual encounter, borne only of a primal desire to smash some puss before I inevitably got deployed and died.

I neither deployed, nor died, though I wish both have occurred in equal order. Because waking up to find out you are autistic is a hell of a trip and normies annoy me so loving much. However, wish I could erase the memory of that gross rear end pussy more.

That was the reason why I went to get tested at my duty station, at which point the IDC (and my LPO) calls everyone in the clinic (the corpsmen anyway) to watch as he makes my roommate swab my poo poo. A q-tip went up my penis, did a twist, and came out.

I thought that’s how the world did STI screenings till I got to the civilian world. No they did it just to gently caress with us as a collective. Anyway I told the corporate dicksucks in the corporate thread about my poo poo getting swabbed so there’s that. #keepingupforumrelations
