If you're referring to a person as a "Marine" wouldn't it be lower case? Like, "The soldier picked up his rifle." or "The marine picked up his rifle." "The marines picked up their rifles".

I honestly don't know. I always capitalize "Marine". But it's purely masturbatory.

I've always been under the impression the word "Marine" is a proper noun (i.e. a shortening of US Marine) and thus is capitalized. Soldier is a generic term applied to members of armies in general. Though I suppose the argument could be made soldier is a shortening of US Soldier so vOv.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

My older brother was a Marine pilot, and it never ceases to amaze me how many Army intel guys around here are flabbergasted by the fact that Marines fly actual jets (kinda, I guess) after they ask him what his MOS was.

Oddly enough.. I think thats pretty much standard for helo guys. They give one less gently caress than E3s.

I think its the acceptance that they pilot something that should have never been invented and its only a matter of time before physics notices what the gently caress is going on and plants them in some farmer's field.

If you accidentally saluted any of our helo pilots somewhere you weren't supposed to or simply in a place where it would be inconvienent to do so, they'd often return it with a gang sign or by grabbing their balls in an aggressive manner and shouting "Deez nuts"

I spend a lot of my day flying with huey pilots and most of those dudes are chill as hell. Had one get bored while we were out on an aerial gunnery range in 29 palms, so he holds his phone up to his boom mic and played a bunch of NWA over comms the entire time.

Huey pilots seem to be hit or miss. Some are really laid back and some are really upset they aren't cobra pilots.
