Heh the only time I remember stature being a problem for women in my experience was during a fighting withdrawal on SQ Chick was mo-tard as gently caress at like 5'2" and was really getting on all our nerves after 4 days no sleep all rain. Our position looked like the western front after all our cocksucking digging. Section commander finally gets sick of this girl running her mouth about how she's not tired or whatever (after falling asleep on watch and poo poo) so she's given the radio and the C9 (m249) with two extra boxes of ammo on top of her other gear...as we break into double time. She makes it about half a k up the road before collapsing into a ball of crying whimpering idiot. She was my fire team partner so I had to try and keep her going, but she gets tossed in the snivel cart after a bit...and I get all her gear. And her rifle. And get told to catch up with my section who's booking it down the road. I do by sprinting and proceeding to puke once called to halt. Felt good man.

You tell a Marine he/she can't get out of their car in uniform for opsec issues, yet you've got this 20 year old kid on an R1 in full view of the public and the only thing that's covered is his head, by his helmet. The longer you try to make sense of Marine Corps regulations the more sanity you risk losing.

We were told that it was an opsec issue when I first joined up, centering around not wanting anyone to be able to easily duplicate patterns/proper rank wearing/etc from watching Marines out in public. I never looked into it beyond that because I didn't care enough. Though when you can go buy cammies in a thrift shop and see pictures everywhere of Marines in uniforms, it obviously never made any sense. What would have made sense was if they'd said, "You're all loving retarded and when you're off base we want to distance ourselves from you as far as possible."

That's pretty dumb given that all of those regulations are publicly available. It's actually about not wearing work uniforms out in public, and if you do have to wear a uniform in public wear one of the nice ones that they've given us two of. If people keep wanting to wear their cammies around town NCOs are going to start wanting them to be as nice and crisp as a service dress or something and then we'll go back to needing fishing line to maintain creases and polished boots and that way lies madness.

They were the most glorious thing ever when running low on smokes after sitting in traffic for an hour, trying to get off base. Internet Wizard posted:It's actually about not wearing work uniforms out in public, and if you do have to wear a uniform in public wear one of the nice ones that they've given us two of. I stopped questioning why they couldn't have just told everyone that a long time ago. I was one of the rare grunts that actually enjoyed wearing chucks and, now that they've gone back to Charlie Fridays, I'm kind of sad that I'm out. That sadness, however, passes quickly enough.

PERSEC has a tiny bit to do with it, but it's mainly the idiots that do stupid poo poo in the uniform off base this the issue. Like the three soldiers who tries to steal an ATM from a German bank a few years back. Or the one that was shot by Polizei in a hospital for bashing some old German dude with a fire hydrant. Plus it's loving stupid. You look like a loving tool. Joe. Joe is the dumbest animal.

How does anything get done in the marines? I feel like all the junior guys would be so pissed off and trying to hold off killing themselves and any E6+ is too busy rubbing his dick all over regulations to worry about doing actual work. That quote from Generation Kill about the marine corps being this pissed off dog that gets unleashed on brown people makes sense.

When I used to see them around Benning - and the were stationed alongside our brigade so we saw them a lot - they were usually doing dumb poo poo enough that it made us feel sorry for them. Staff sergeants in the Marines look like literally the worst thing to morale and productivity. Down the motor pool pmcsing tanks? Well, pull out these TMs but now these 2 staff sergeants who may or may not have set foot in a tank before are gonna argue about pointless details that holds up work for almost the entire day. Gonna do some glass house room clearing? Well, there's gonna be a couple of staff sergeants who argue about what it says in the book and then argue for hours about "how they did it in their last unit". And then peak stupid was one day during PT hours. Marine PT always kind of weirded me out as it seems like a never ending contest of who can shout the most motivational slogans at each other without running out of breath. Seriously like it's a caveman style marketing campaign where people are actively trying to promote their particular brand of "marine (tm)". At least twice a week though, there'd be at least 2, sometimes as many as 4 of these staff sergeants arguing about who had the most motivational chants and slogans, and what was most appropriate for a training environment and whatever other horseshit they managed to make up. You'd think this would just be their hosed up way of getting out of doing poo poo but they almost came to blows several times. No wonder peace time marines off themselves like cultists when the mother ship arrives. The marines do everything except supply the koolade.

Every task given requires lying/cheating/stealing in order to accomplish it because A GOOD MARINE is not a thing that actually exists despite being the standard to which everyone is held. It's pretty great. God bless the marine corpse.

You wouldn't find normal grunts pulling that type of poo poo, especially amongst the E5 and below pool. Generation Kill got a lot of things right about the Marine Corps, the most of any show I've ever seen that centers around it, which is why it was hilarious when the SgtMjr of the Marine Corps came out and said it wasn't at all an accurate portrayal of life in the Corps. Every E5 and below laughed and disagreed with him. Aranan posted:Everything I know about the Marines, I have learned from Terminal Lance.
