I remember we all failed afield day inspection Fri having to redo it that night and reinspect 0630 Sat

And a platoon was opfor for another unit and someone lost a radio so we had to come in all day Sat and Sunday and comb the deserts $1500 radio for like thousands upon thousands in logistics and manpower


(Was never found of course)

That's weird, I know a guy who lost an encrypted radio thiing in Iraq. It came with a strap that's supposed to stay around your body at all times. He of course took it off, put it on top of the truck (like a latte), and lost it somewhere in the desert. The entire theater had to change their radio codes. Nothing happened, career-wise, and this was the kind of dick who NJP'd someone for ND-ing a SAW full of blanks during a 'SAW Gunning For non-03's' training session. There is no such thing as Karma.

Why do the Marines fly F 18s, Harriers and F-35s? Is it in case they need to put a bomb somewhere and they've forgotten the Navy or Air Force's phone number?

part of the magtf concept, basic idea is you have a self sufficient expeditionary force on call for emergency stuff

well first, the marine corps is a joke. the navys army henderson field lol. second, the f35 is a joke that doesnt need a punchline. just typing 'f35' is making me lol. but the f35 adds to the humor of the navys army airforce

Same can be said of the Harrier but with an asterisk showing how many pilots it has killed

even though marine pilots are possibly the least gay after dustoff pilots: anything that kills pilots before they blue on blue or kill someone through sheer recklessness is good.

the pilot gayness spectrum is so narrow that its really hard to make a distinction though

Marine chat:

When I was thinking about re-enlisting from the army to the Marine Corp I ended up going through the long rear end process of going either enlisted or officer since I was close to graduating college with my degree in nursing.

Once I cleared MEPS I had 2 weeks to wait until I talked with the recruiting OIC to discuss my options.

One week before that my recruiter called me up and asked me to be a witness at his courthouse wedding to his ex wife who he had divorced twice before. She was the epitome of dependapotomous figure and personality.

It was a beautiful courthouse wedding.... Just me, the recruiter, his wife and some private who was on liberty after graduating from boot.

Tell them to wait for a war before enlisting USMC 0300 if they want a realistic chance at killing a human being.

If they don't want to be a 0300/join in time of war/kill a human being,

Tell them to suck my dick.

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...

Enlisting in the military to spend more time around guns/tanks/explosions/airplanes is like dreaming of working in a strip club.
