Since I got out of the Marine Corps I've kept my hair relatively short.

I got it cut last night, not a skin fade, just a fade up from a 2 by a professional barber/hair stylist friend who lives nearby.

Queue the angy staff NCO at the housing gas station, which I'm only at because they stay open later than ABC and have no reservations about selling rum to a dude with a beard on a sunday night, who decides to take it upon himself to correct me. He assumed I was some poo poo head coming off of leave (Which would explain my beard) who had just gotten a "low reg shitbag" haircut on his way back from banging Susie rottencrotch. (No poo poo, his words exactly).

The look on his face when I told him to gently caress off was priceless.

I need to move away from this drat base already.. Why am I still here?

Got one better for ya. (Skip down past the filler/backstory for the good part)

A good friend of mine while I was in, we'll call him Pedro, ended up getting administratively separated on a bad conduct discharge.

[filler]

What had happened was Pedro, after we got back from our first deployment, another friend of ours and I had been assigned to go run a pre-check of the FNG barracks rooms since it was Thursday night and field day was set to go first thing in the morning. We're checking the last of the rooms on 3rd deck when we come across a gem. Of the 3 junior Marines in the room, two have their poo poo packed away, clean, ready to go. The third not only has a female in the room, but his poo poo is still laying out everywhere AND the dumb gently caress has a case of beer that he's sharing with her. They're both underage. So we go easy on him at first by telling him to get rid of the girl, get his poo poo clean, then when we come back and clear him in an hour he can go bang the STD bus until he's content with his drippy dick.

An hour later, he's gone. We ask the other two and, apparently, after taking her down to the parking lot to see her off he never came back. So, gently caress this kid. We take all of his laundry that's out and throw it in the shower, then turn the shower on. He was a neat freak about his poo poo being organized, so we rearranged his entire wall locker. it was still neat but we had hosed his order 6 shits to the wind. As the final piece, we confiscated his beer, then flipped his mattress and bedding off of the coffin locker. This has the effect of spilling the 4 open beers that had been hiding behind his mattress into the coffin locker. Tough luck.. Before departing, we told the other two to call us when he came back. Well, he doesn't get back until about 4am.

The first thing he does is call this brick piece of poo poo SSgt we had at the time, one who'd been sent back early from Iraq to receive the boot drop. This guy (In light of a pretty massive hazing incident from the year before) tells the boots that, if they feel like they're being hazed, they should call him first thing. So what does this kid do? He calls this SSgt. Now, because I didn't live in the barracks at the time I somehow skated out of the repercussions of this little incident but my two boys were not so lucky. They were brought up to a Battalion level NJP for hazing and given an ultimatum by the BN-CO, admit to hazing and get a slap on the wrist with some restriction, or refuse to admit and take the whole book.

Lance criminal #1 admits to hazing. Takes 45/45 and half months pay for one month as a punishment.
Lance criminal #2, Pedro, prints the hazing order out and then reads it to the Battalion commander during his NJP, refusing to admit to hazing because he didn't do anything that was covered by the order.

He takes a reduction in rank from Lance to Private, 45/45, no pay a whole month. No suspensions.

Needless to say, we're all pretty pissed off about the way it turned out and the poor boot who started it all ended up getting committed to the 4th floor of the hospital after he suffered a mental breakdown at the hand of 82 other Marines breathing down his neck for rest of his time in.

[/filler]
So, Pedro, the badass who would sit up on the third deck balcony with his half stack and Gibson, taking shouted out requests for music and belting it out like a lesser god, decides he's fed up with the Marine Corps, with the command, with everything. BC won't even let him use a pay phone to call his family. So this loving guy goes out in town one night after sneaking past the OOD and getting his car keys from a friend, and heads out to places unknown. The next morning, a Monday morning, the Battalion commander comes into work, well, into his office, to a sight I wish I could have seen with my own eyes.

Pedro is at his desk, silkies and a green t-shirt, shower shoe covered feet kicked up on the huge oak monstrosity that is our BC's personal penis extension, a bottle of crown off to one side (Details relayed by the OOD, who had to escort Pedro out), a bag of weed off to the other and the biggest loving joint the OOD had ever seen. He's about halfway through both the joint and the bottle of crown and offers a cheerful, "What's up, Chris!?" to the BC as he enters his office. According to the company clerk, another Lance criminal, the screams and shouting, accompanied by Pedro's laughter, could be heard across both stories and all company offices in the building.

The kid didn't even go to the brig for an extended stay. 10 days later he's out of the brig and back at the command for out processing and as soon as he's got his DD214 in hand he cuts his utilities into daisy dukes, cuts the sleeves off of his blouse, pulls the stitching out of his 8 point cover to make it into a soft cap and then goes waltzing down the main drag out of Camp Lejeune as if he hadn't a care in the world. Once we got wind of the fact that he was on the road we loaded into as many vehicles as possible, as a platoon, and drove laps around him going up and down Holcombe, cheering him on as literally dozens of staff NCO's stopped to reprimand him, only to find out that you can't reprimand someone who has no fucks left to give.

It's only happened to me a few times, 2 or 3 tops and usually coincides with the ending of a long holiday weekend or leave period. I live less than a mile from the gate of Camp Lejeune in NC and, due to being medically retired and possessing that beautiful blue "gently caress you" ID card, I go on base all the time to shop at the PX or get groceries from the commissary. I'm not stupid fat but if I can manage to drop back down about 30 pounds I intend to trim my beard down to stubble and get a lovely low fade someday so that I can go walk around the PX or C-Store in flip flops and a white t-shirt just to see how high I can raise the collective blood pressure of the SNCO's around the base.

My favorite Mongol story is how the Persians killed two Mongol emmisaries, so Genghis Khan put conquering China on hold to conquer all of Persia and most of Central Asia, then went back to conquering China but died of old age.

I wouldn't have believed it myself if I didn't know the guy personally and know the SSgt who was OOD that day, since he was from our platoon. Otherwise I would have dropped it into the pile of stories I heard while in that include the likes of that kid who got promoted to Corporal for telling the Commandant to take his hands out of his pockets one day before he realized who he was talking to.

My favorite mongol story is how the Rus got together this big muslim-loving army for the pope and had to go try to beat on the Mongols instead and got absolutely loving stomped into nothingness at the Kalka River, something like 75000 casualties reported of a 80000 man total force.

And they did this by slowly retreating for 9 loving DAYS while the Rus were like :downs: HAY GUYS WE'VE ALMOST GOT THEM until they faced the mogols in full battle line across a river and basically instantly broke their lines and ran hog wild on their super strewn out baggage train.
