Reservists/guardsmen: how many former Marines do you guys have in your unit that still refer to themselves as Marines.

in our unit of 50 we had 2 former marines, our CO and our Motor Sgt

Neither of which were too bad. Motor SGT would tell us all his stories from Japan and talk about his his irish dick was too small compared to all the pollocks in our unit, cool dude

We had an ex-DS in my AIT class- he was busted down to E-1 for loving someone he shouldn't, and was reclassing to medic.

DS is basically basic 2.0 according to him, with weird random poo poo like being marched out to a road and being told to yell at telephone poles for 30 minutes straight.

as a medic, please please please- in the future when you're done with your internship, please train your medics on poo poo like sutures and stuff. Train the gently caress out of them.

They don't teach you guys how to suture? Wow. I thought that would be basic basics.


They touched on it super quick in medic school, but they need a doc to sign off on them in order to do it in a TMC/CSH environment. You'd need to teach them, then sign off on them being able to do so.

My favorite were the deployment day trader wannabes. We had two guys conspire to be all about the stock-market since we were spending 13-14 hours a day in the tscif anyway and managed to probably lose a cumulative total of 8-10k.

Yep. That happened in my squad too, along with the Dinar and everything else in 2004/2005.

They've been making people go to the "smoking area" on FOBs for field training and stand in the Engineer Tape of Shame so I can't say I'm surprised. Come to think of it engineer tape is a pretty common shaming mechanism. I am so sick of going to training events and seeing soldiers walking around with some huge honking strip of engineer tape hanging off their uniform like a big scarlet 'A' of Had A Heat Injury Once. It isn't like anyone even does anything special to make sure they don't get another one; it's apparently just to assist everyone else in pointing and laughing.

its better than being a heat casuality in Iraq

we had a dude in basic who would beg the DS to let him call cadence but they kept telling him no, he would gently caress it up.

finally on the day before graduation he was given the chance. We marched to chow singing "I want it that way" by the backstreet boys.

Sunflower seeds(I don't dip or smoke)
A case of kill cliff(energy drink)
Beef Jerky
Baby Wipes

What else should I bring for the wonderful summer weather? (I'm assuming that I may be able to get ice at some point in time.) To be clear I am in the brigade support element as far to the rear as the exercise gets

My usual AT packing list was:

-a log of dip and carton of smokes to sell/trade for poo poo
-a football/cheap rear end air pump
-deck of cards/cheap rear end poker chip set
-goldbond powder
-sunflower seeds
-baby wipes
-bigass bag of lifesavers

Hospital command is funky in a lot of ways. If you come at it like a normal command, you're going to make a whole bunch of doctors decide they don't really feel like dealing with Army bullshit anymore. Even potentially costing the Army doctors tends to draw all the nut-crushing powers MEDCOM can summon, and I'm guessing she made people cranky.

It's like the army actually realizes that docs, nurses, and PAs can walk out and be essentially guaranteed a job as a civilian, almost no questions asked. I'm just a little surprised that they actually realized this.

they've known for a long time- the bonuses that docs gets are goddamn ridiculous, along with the rank they give
