I remember a kid in my platoon got robbed when the cabbie took his rear end out to a trailer in the middle of nowhere to link up with some hookers. Apparently there was a rash of similar poo poo going on but most kids were smart enough to not admit to attempting to pay women for sex. This guy wasn't that smart and stood company NJP for his foolishness.

Hygiene Equipment Operators?

There was a kid in my boot platoon that got that and he was really pissed because he was certain that he had a combat engineer contract and his recruiter switched it on him right before he shipped.

Every prospective "combat engineer" signs a 1100/1300 contract. Recruiters never mention this, but you can be assigned ANY MOS in either field, subject to the needs of the Corps. Nearly everyone who signs this contract does so expecting to become a combat engineer six months later. Probably 90% of heavy equipment operators (who love to call themselves "engineers" since they're also 1300s), bulk fuel, water dogs (including hygiene equipment dudes), and electricians are acquired through this contract. Dude's recruiter probably didn't change poo poo, his dumbass just didn't understand what he was signing. I did the same thing, but I was one of the "lucky" ones.

Also a 15+ degree disparity between the thermostat setting and the actual temp in my shoebox apartment is "probably due to the windows not being locked". Waves of nostalgia wash over me when a doughy retard projects authority by telling me I'm stupid and/or lying without actually saying I'm stupid and/or lying.

MEUs will turn into the dick measuring tool again and gently caress gently caress games get worse as training funds get smaller. You will have more dumb poo poo like starching and ironing cammies and wall locker inspections. If you are disciplined enough to wear ironed utilities and a squared away wall locker you are hard enough to kill America's enemies.

Really? We stopped doing them when we got a 1st sgt and he told us a story about when he was an infantry sergeant he had this one PFC that crapped himself during a field exercise and just stuffed all of his crap-covered clothes in the bottom of his wall locker for a few weeks. 1st sgt said everybody started getting suspicious when the guy would just gas his room with lysol before every field day inspection.

Pretty sure it was Conway. At the very least it limited major field days to once a month and it was just general clean up the rest of the time. Saw a dude fail room inspection because he had a solitary lysol wipe in his trashbag.

Only in the loving military will the words "Is that trash in your trashcan?" or "Why is there drops of water in your sink?" be spoken with a mixture of confusion of anger

Next week different corporal, fails you for not pledging floor.

Next week pledge floor and get rear end kicked from first corporal.

If you're referring to a person as a "Marine" wouldn't it be lower case? Like, "The soldier picked up his rifle." or "The marine picked up his rifle." "The marines picked up their rifles".

I honestly don't know. I always capitalize "Marine". But it's purely masturbatory.

EBB

I only capitalized soldier in official documents. Marine is more of an official title given the context, so I'd see it as a proper noun in the singular form. Probably wouldn't capitalize if it was plural.

If the only thing stopping military action anywhere in the world is a concern over dead Marines then that is stupid and dumb.

Grunts never shut the gently caress up about wanting to kill people and I'm pretty sure it's not just bravado because not even a pile of child soldiers could redeem half of those retards in the eyes of their peers and they know it.

edit: personally against boots on the ground, and personally for being fat and lazy instead of work-ups that end with 7 months of not killing people.
