Probably for pretty common Marine behavior too:
- Traveling in packs.
- Pissing in the yard, parking lot, sides of buildings.
- Getting too aggressive during tug o war.
- Staring at a finger when someone points.
- Fighting over bitches.

I just ate a Spanish ration. It was pretty lovely all things considered, but it's nice to know that the Spanish don't even trust their soldiers not to eat their matches. So I guess things are the same across the Atlantic.



Been reading through the topic but I had to stop and :laffo: at this. I'm just mentally picturing a Joe hoovering the entire MRE with his mouth like a cartoon character, only to suddenly realize with horror that he swallowed the matches too.

“We were designing the [flameless ration heater] directions and wanted to show an object to rest the heater on,” said Oleksyk, who recalled Pickard saying: “‘I don’t know. Let’s make it a rock or something.’ So we wrote ‘rock or something’ on the object, kind of as a joke.”

In idiot news, I'm in a machine gun course and a training 7.62 round has gone missing. After saying it isn't that big a deal please turn it in, yelling at us, threatening room checks, saying it's not that big a deal please turn it in again they're setting up the old amnesty box this morning.

They also said the last class may have lost it, so we are checking for a round that literally may not have been accounted from the start.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
:lol: @ amnesty boxes

In ~MY UNIT~ we'd arrest all day-to-day operations and progress until a missing item/round was found/accounted for...like a petulant child not wanting to brush its teeth before bed. After a maximum of three days of this pants-on-head mode of operation, during which totally non-collective-punishment was administered through an increase in dumb-as-gently caress duties, we'd slowly go back to regular business operations and pretend nothing was ever lost.

You know, like a proper military unit :downs:

True.

I guess you could say the best course of action is getting the most sham job in the Air Force or coast guard or something, only serve for the minimum amount of time and then get out to use GI Bill bennies.

Alternatively, get something with a clearance even if you have no intention of ever using it again.

Easier to get one again if you've already gotten one.

That's why I'm glad I had a clearance when I was in. Later on down the road if I'm willing to move not far from where I'm at now I could get a job that requires a clearance, guy gave me his card and said to call him if I ever move a little bit closer or if I'm willing to drive an hour and a half to get to work. That's without traffic though. But yeah it'd be an awesome loving job, he's apparently hurting for guys that had, do have, or are able to get a clearance.
