On this day in 2006, I EAS'd. They promoted me to Sergeant at thanksgiving, too :laugh:

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Had a Sergeant who was forced out at 12 or 13 years. He appealed and appealed it and did whatever else you could and was pretty much your textbook Marine. Great dude though. Applied for warrant officer but after applying found out he'd find out if he was accepted after he EAS'd. Combat instructor, Iraq a couple times, security forces, etc etc. He was NJP'd twice early in his career. (Great for story time) I think he was on watch and a drunk boot was mouthing off to him and he threw him out the barracks 2nd floor window or some poo poo because the boot said he didn't have the balls. Then everyone tried to cover for him and he got in more trouble.

He picked up staff sergeant on terminal leave, had already moved, and said gently caress it. He's gonna get 100% VA anyways

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

Sounds like they're going to start phasing out Navy Corpsmen in favor of having Marines this next year for ~reasons~

Field day every two weeks instead of every week though, that's nice

I only follow the actual MC Times fb page because I'm a motivator like that, and I saw an article there. Can't find it now though, so that's weird. Maybe the article was rescinded for having bad sources or something.

I think I did maybe a dozen field days in my 3 years with 4th MAW. and maybe half of them were done as an NCO so I really just shammed my way in to running inventory and inspecting reservists' lovely work, like using a cloth with Brasso on it to clean the loving windows or someone literally trying to wax the vinyl seats on the XO's golf cart with turtle wax after I told him not to use armor-all in it

You know what was great about CAX? Dirt floors in the quonset huts. Also great, pissing on the dirt floor. Even better, recently promoted corporal loudmouthed bitch idiot pissing into his own boots because he's a drunk idiot. They had to canc that once dudes started pissing on each other though...

I used to have to do dumb poo poo like clean the inside of the A Frames and later quonset huts during CAX as a boot. It wasn't that bad though because I'd make 20 or 30 dollars in change from raking them each time I had to do it.

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...
I'm on duty and some Vietnam vet keeps calling in and wanting to tell me about the corps and his time in recon :airquote: and he wants me to yell at his son for him for not calling him on Christmas.

I just got a call from another squadron and he's now bitching at them about his son :confused:

The sad thing is that coastal North Carolina would actually be a pretty decent place to live if it were nowhere near Jacksonville. Whoever did the city planning there needs to be drug into the street and ran over by the 100,000 people that have to use Western Ave because it was a great idea to put every single loving store on one strip that gets more traffic than Las Vegas Blvd.

I wish the speed limit on 17 were 70 the entire stretch, it'd almost make living in Wilmington feasible
