Dear Family, Today at boot camp I walked wrong, And a psychopath with bulging neck veins threatened to do sex crimes to my face if I ever walked wrong again. I still don't know how one walks wrong. ----------------

so like, when youre in the middle of the DI fuckfest are you supposed to just go zen and let it wash over you till it stops, or do you actually have to listen to each of them and pick out specific instructions that matter?

fresh_cheese posted:ah. “be wrong, no think, only do” it really does gently caress with your brain and make you compliant because that's what you need when you're in actual combat or a disaster situation - someone who will compliantly do what they're told and what they've been trained to do. basically it goes -> break down and defiant resistance through exhaustion, physical intimidation, threats, screaming, etc -> teach now broken down person to follow orders blindly with the faintest of praise for success and massive punishment for failure -> teach how to do military tasks -> send out to do military tasks that will be done mostly unquestioningly. like people complain about doing poo poo, but they still do it, because the punishment for refusing is much worse than just doing. the us military, and most militaries, really, are dependent on teenagers that they can mold into machines. there's a reason they target younger people whose frontal lobes are not fully developed.

It was pretty wild watching it from the "outside" when I joined at 25 years old. I can never forget the "squad leader" that was suuuuuuuuper pissed at himself for "failing" and getting "demoted" from the position when someone in the squad missed some ludicrous bullshit clothing inspection. The whole time he's freaking out and trashing himself for his failures and demanding he do better next time I'm thinking to myself "dude this has happened to the four other squad leaders before you, and every failure has happened on a Monday for each of them." Worst part is it mean it was my time in the barrel and I didn't want to be responsible for the rest of the two-legged stupid in the squad I just wanted to keep my head down, color in between the lines, and get through that poo poo.

I did almost poo poo myself when we got to Kuwait the first time. Made it to the porta shitter and red hot magma flowed turbulently from my tender beefhole. I hope to never have a poo poo that I can remember so vividly again due to pain.

PathAsc posted:I didn't say I missed lake bandini lol. Taking a dump in springtime Kuwait portashitters while wearing a MOPP suit is a most incredible memory. Open the lid, it's full to the brim. Take your suspenders off and lower your MOPP trousers. Drop your sweat-soaked cammie trousers and skivvies. Squat/lean uncomfortably over the turd pile. Add your own diarrhea. It's 130 degrees outside and wet bulb temperature inside. You're sweating on every inch of your body. Everything itches. Your eyes burn from sweat. To hydrate while you poo poo you drink from a bottle of Baraka water which is what gave you the shits in the first place. You finish your business and wipe your rear end with a 3 inch square of ultra-thin toilet paper from an MRE. You pull your cammie trousers back up and watch with horror when your bayonet slips off your belt and falls into the turds. It weighs more than wet turds do, it turns out, and it sinks quickly. You desperately, reflexively reach in for it but have to feel around like you're trying to noodle a catfish and you wind up brown to the elbow pulling your catch out. You walk out of the portashitter with your trousers down, poo poo caked up your arm, your poop bayonet in one poop hand and your rifle in the other, and right then the sirens go off and people start yelling GAS GAS GAS and now you have to slap your gas-mask on your face with a lovely hand and seal your lovely self back into your MOPP suit before you stumble idiotically over to the closest bunker while you wait to die (hopefully) or for the all clear (not desired at that moment). You can't take a shower until night because the water tanks are uncovered in the sun and daytime showers are scalding so you are locked in the poop MOPP suit for hours.

got shipped up to Georgia when hurricane Dennis hit in 2005 and someone dropped a log in the jackshack pisser part. and it was not just a regular dump, it was the size of a half loaf of bread and had an unlit cigarette sticking out of it. I miss the corps

jarhead still mostly holds up if anyone's wondering.* there's some stupid hollywood poo poo but when it stops being dumb and starts being introspective it carries some weight.

one of my friends from high school entered the marines and lost a finger while deployed he lost it to a humvee door slamming shut another, the first time i'd seen him in undergrad, excitedly showed me a video of a jeep window getting sniped before exclaiming "that's me! i got shot!" these are the only marine stories i have.

Scuba Trooper posted:one of my friends from high school entered the marines and lost a finger while deployed If it was an uparmored HMMWV I can very, very easily see how you would lose a finger to that. Those doors are like 200 pounds or something crazy. I was never near one of those things without watching it and my fingers very, very carefully because I was always thinking about that exact outcome. One of those things slams shut on your finger and there's no chance at all. It isn't even going to slow down, your finger is now a red chunky splat mark.

he's the type of guy to potentially pay to post on the internet so i've always wondered if he's registered here somewhere but yeah i can imagine that one of those doors would absolutely destroy a small body part the second dude was a russian immigrant (like his dad was a mayor when the USSR collapsed or something to that effect) so it was jarring to see him go from humming the soviet anthem to enlisting
