not my story but its probably the most marine corps story ever a team leader on one of my platoon's vehicles came from active duty. his first deployment was to ramadi in 05 or 06 so poo poo was popping off in his area. some iraqi decided that he was going to suicide bomb himself in front of this patrol base that the team leader was at. no injuries, no damage but there were body parts everywhere. so...they made the boots go out there and police up the body parts. he's out there, full ppe, with a pushbroom sweeping up whats left of the martyr but not doing a good enough job for his team leader's liking. the team leader snatches the broom away, tells him hes too loving stupid to sweep correctly and gives him the most grisly hip pocket class on how to use a pushbroom.

once he told me the story, i made him tell all the other ncos because its loving surreal. the setting and the characters but the actual movements he did with the broom to show the proper method(short strokes in case you were wondering) really made the whole story.
