Every officer and staff nco is sperging about which warming layers and poo poo we can/cant wear. Two guys hyped out because they wore grid tops and sweaters, so now we are only allowed to wear the frog gear and goretex, and the goretex is only if its raining.

Thankfully we all get to wear beanies all day hear but officers kept getting butthurt because they expected us to salute in them (???) So we had to have like a 20 minute brief after lights about why we need to salute in beanies.

Do the fucks leading the training not tell them to gently caress off?

That's part of Valhalla. During the day you murder each other, at night you drink and eat and bang.

Valhalla is the most metal afterlife. I wonder what music they listen to during their daily melee. I hope its Iron Maiden.

Also if you read One Bullet Away by Captain Fick a solid chunk of it is his point of view of the the events in Generation Kill and also simultaneously describes why he got out of the Marine Corps as fast as he could after getting back from that deployment. Maybe not everybody can relate with the mess that the Iraq invasion was right from the start, but the reasons behind him wanting out are pretty universal.

the difference between books written by LTs and captains compared to those written by majors and higher is almost bizarre with how different their views are

Seeing who could wear the smallest pair of silkies to PT was funny. Specifically going out of your way to hangout with our dudes that you don't know and get all hot and sweaty while wearing silkies sounds like its a meet up for dudes that want to bang each other. THere is no way there isn't an orgy at the end of that hike.

One of my better memories was when I was TDA in 29 palms for a month. Got left alone on weekends and enjoyed Joshua tree national park.

I've never told anyone I work with that SA is a thing or that I am a member. Keeping my work life separate from my personal life is one of the ways I've managed to stay sane long enough to make it this close to retirement.
