Hazing is basically an act of worship as u render the subject an object of idolization, a little fag, and stuff things in the fag's butt hole that you wish could be in your own butt hole, if you were only so worthy. You people have it all wrong. The marines have uncovered the truth and they are living it every day. Haziness is next to godliness.

We had a total fuckup in my bootcamp platoon, recycled twice, clearly suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness. 2004 though, so rammed on through. He was caught purchasing a candy bar when he was sent out to have a few of the platoons' uniforms re-tailored just prior to graduation. His punishment was edge-dressing the whole platoons coraframs on family day. You can imagine the quality of the job. I never edge dressed again. Edge dressing, not even once.

Painting someone's nuts with edge dressing and shoving the brush up their rear end is prison time. For everyone there who didn't try to stop it and didn't followup with reporting it. But calling formation because someone doesn't understand how condoms work and wound up creating a crotch parasite is still abuse of authority.

There's a lot of concerned speculation about why SIGINT Marines don't stick around after their first enlistment. Nobody seems to realize that promotions being so closed off that people can spend their full 5-year enlistment as an E-3, having language proficiency requirements in languages that they don't receive refresher training on, and then being treated like this video after all of that makes getting out and using their clearance and training to get six figures look pretty nice. Some of these Battalions are so bad that one of my friends went from being super gung-ho to telling me that she was straight up ashamed whenever a family member found out she was a Marine, all in less than a year.

Hazing is fine unless you're a whiney bitch who takes poo poo personally or a complete sociopath who takes it too far Which is why 90% of the military should be kept from doing it, I guess

Dick Burglar posted:Only 90%? Really? I'd say 10% is the generous upper bound of people who can haze new people without power tripping or ruining the new guy's life. This estimate of "not being hosed up" extends only to hazing and not, say, drinking and going family style on the commander's chubby daughter with three of your buddies.

Crossing the line was actually a pretty cool experience, enough Termalene, 2190 TEP, humiliation, and saltwater firehose showers to make it feel like a real initiation, but nobody ever came close to the line of malicious sociopath poo poo. It might have helped that the whole command was in on it, and people up and down the chain of command were participating on both sides. An MM2 shellback making a LTJG pollywog run around in his underwear with cold pasta stuffed in it is all in good fun, but junior enlisted hazing only slightly more junior enlisted seems to be when someone gets caustic chemicals up the squeakhole. Still, some people opted out, which was allowed, but... seriously? Enjoy your dignity, I guess... ...fuckin' wog.

When you need something done right, leave it to the Marines. As long as that job is sharing nude photos taken without permission of their female colleagues on the internet, as well as identifying them by their name rank and location. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MARINES_NUDE_PHOTOS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-03-05-17-36-05

This reminds me back when they and non-Marines would write letters to the paper defending Marine rapes in Okinawa because you just didn't understand the stress they were under. It's not their fault.

Booblord Zagats posted:Hazing is fine No. Its pretty much trash. Either its lame rear end poo poo like picking up someone's dry cleaning or its shoving a baseball bat up their rear end and laughing about how they are bleeding. People who think its important are either abusive fucks or mental children. Both are cancers and should be put down for the the greater good of the unit. Also, I don't give one gently caress about tradition or unit moral or what ever other bullshit excuse they cite. Im there to do my job, not be a friend or part of the crowd. Get poo poo done so I can get the gently caress away from these people.

"I was so stressed out about being confined to base because someone got raped that I went and raped someone" In the famous General Morrison "Get out!" video he talks about how no one has ever been able to adequately explain to him how hazing enhances capabilities or builds morale.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:hazing is absolute garbage teenager level thinking poo poo Truth. I used to think hazing was cool and fun when I was a dumb idiot teen cadet kid and I thought that was what made a tough military dude and it was camaraderie. Then somewhere I realized that I was doing the same kind of rationalizations that abused people make about their abusers. If you want to talk poo poo and play gently caress gently caress games with your friends, that's fine, you're consenting adults; doing it to members of an organization who do not have any recourse to defend themselves, fight back, or otherwise opt out is gross abuse. In the army, I feel like an rear end in a top hat because it's so loving normalized.

Victims of abuse frequently rationalize and defend the actions of their abuser, and in turn pass that abuse along to somebody below them, so it's not surprising to see that idiots think hazing is great.
