So I am, about to be a free man - it is a miracle - I never thought this day would come. I have a final physical tomorrow, and what needs to be said and done while I'm at the appointment? Do I just need to have all my ailments mentioned in the final physical? 5 years of hiking and absurd ranges have destroyed my ability to live. Like the majority of Marines though I have never really had a BAS appointment because our CORPSMAN were so solid at their job. I got plenty of Motrin, water, and good thing I changed my socks.

Am I just hosed for getting any form of compensation with the VA?

Lmfao if you think it's really this easy.

E: I mean it is if you want to leave your fate 100% up to the VA and want your claims decided entirely based on what's in your need records (which sounds like this guy didn't have poo poo).

Leaving said decision up to the VA and not pursuing any supporting actions to actually make a case is a hilariously bad idea.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

Has anybody heard anything concrete about Bates Lights being deauthorized in the near future? There were a bunch of rumors going around last year about all of the different Bates boots being deauthorized and switching over to only the Danners and that kind, but I haven't heard anything solid since then.

I've been using this pair of regular Bates jungles for the past two years and they're starting to get pretty ratty, and I want to get a pair of the Lights broken in before CFT season comes up, but don't want to waste the money on a pair of boots I won't be able to wear soon.

In 15 years I've only seen one style of boots go from authorized to unauthorized (except the transition from black to brown boots of course) and those were the old cadillac style all leather ones . So I'd take whatever bullshit the Marine Corps Times or whatever is spewing with a healthy dose of salt.

Also, who the gently caress looks at what type of boots you are wearing during a CFT?

As long as they are brown and look military no one gives a gently caress. I mean unless you work at IPAC or something stupid I guess. Most people have more important poo poo to worry about.

The same thing as Infantry minus the (combat) deployments and field training.

They pick up E-4 in two years and then they go to a grunt unit and deploy as squad leaders because company HQ hates their own.

You probably knew all this already but I have to gripe about it at every opportunity. Just one of my many moral injuries.

T-Com? Is that where they crank out the education materials? Do you accept submissions? I've got some revised rifle range Hand & Arm Signals that will streamline and revolutionize the way shooters blame others for their failures.

And if that takes, I've got a few suggestions for FM 23-91 that will definitely rock some boats.

my only other marine story I told kfff already but one time I was leaving the base and it was pissing down rain and I saw a marine humpin it toward town so I pulled over and asked where he was going. when he told me I said "alright I'll let 'em know you're coming!!" and then peeled out as I took off

I'm a pretty nice guy tho normally, just not to marines I guess

oh yeah he was backpack marine too

No, as in I'm still not MOS qualified.

Whenever I share military stories with people from other services/MOSs my stories always end up seeming like some carnival mirror version of theirs.

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...
what i've learned about the marine corps:

get promoted to corporal
marry j-ville slam pig
poop out 3 kids
beat them all
wait and beat them again at the most inconvenient hour of the night, on a friday or saturday

bonus points if all involved are drunk and underage

I think what finally turned me off the idea of joining the reserves before my IRR time ran out was hearing Staff NCOs and Officers talking with Wisconsin accents.

When I'm getting poo poo on I prefer it to be in a southern accent so I can otherize everyone above me in the chain of command.


I worked with that dude. Not his real name but pretty sure that's his real stack (lol).
