Queer Grenadier: Jun 14, 2023; THIS GUY HAS A POOPY BOOM BOOM

HE NOT WARSHING HE HOLES LOL

quote:

Three U.S. Marines were found dead inside a parked car at a gas station in a coastal North Carolina community over the weekend, authorities said.

The Pender County Sheriff's Office said deputies were responding to a report of a missing person when they found the three Marines at about 9 a.m. Sunday at a Speedway convenience store on U.S. 17 in Hampstead, about 30 miles south of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The men were unresponsive when they were found in a privately owned car and medical authorities pronounced all of them dead the same day.

Their causes of death weren't immediately clear. Sgt. Chester Ward of the Pender County Sheriff�s Office told the Associated Press that the department had received a missing person report for one of the three Marines.

No drugs were found in the vehicle and Ward said the department does not "suspect anything as far as foul play in that matter."

"There does not appear to have ever been any threat to members of the community," the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said it was investigating further and is waiting on autopsy results to determine the causes of death.

The U.S. Marine Corps identified the three men as Marine Corps Lance Corporal Tanner J. Kaltenberg, 19, from Madison, Wisconsin; Marine Corps Lance Corporal Merax C. Dockery, 23, from Pottawatomie, Oklahoma; and Marine Corps Lance Corporal Ivan R. Garcia, 23, from Naples, Florida.

The men were motor vehicle operators with the Combat Logistics Battalion 2, Combat Logistics Regiment 2 and 2nd Marine Logistics Group at Camp Lejeune, according to First Lt. Raymond Fullbright, of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group.

�My deepest sympathy and condolences are extended to (their) family, friends, and colleagues,� said Brig. Gen. Michael E. McWilliams, commanding general of 2nd Marine Logistics Group. �Our focus is providing the necessary resources and support to those impacted by their tragic loss as they navigate this extremely difficult time.�

The 2nd Marine Logistics Group is assisting local authorities and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

I earnestly stood up and answered the 2 stars rhetorical and laid into her. My chain wanted to kill me but nothing I said wasn�t a fact, and nothing I said was patently unprofessional.

Still gave me an LOC. I�m still salty about that. Only paperwork that ever really got under my skin.

Also all you non crayon eating fucks acting like they taste different by color instead of type or date or location of manufacture. Crayola crunchy for life, those art store ones are too soft and dont turn your poop enough colors.

Poncho liner. The warmest, most comfortable blanket of all time. Great for warm weather, cold weather, and not having to fuckin make your rack in the morning.

Honorable Mention
The daypack from the MOLLE suite. Big enough to carry a day's worth of poo poo but can be expanded using extra pouches. I still have mine 20 years on and I still use it for camping and road trips.

Disonorable Mention
The vodka Camelbak.

WHOA there.

While we are guests in other forums let's try to keep the voluntary disclosure of federal crimes to an absolute minimum.

.. also you may want to go off-grid for a bit. CIF Strike Teams are likely already on their way to recover that pack. God help you if it has any dirt or blood on it.

I heard that the MPs at the PMO have a rifle that they don't know who it belongs to. If you wait until right before movement and stop in to see if it is yours surely they won't delay the units movement filing charges on you.
