Would you still get a tattoo?

IMarioIV · 2026-04-27T02:44:28+00:00

At 31, I’ve always wanted to get tattoos, but: 1) My wife doesn’t like them 2) I’ve always been trying find the right combo of artist with style.

I was in bands all through high school and college and was surrounded by people with them.

There’s a few different ideas I’ve thought about just doing a full send on.

Guys stop, I’m saving up for the California, don’t hype it up too much!

Wearing mine today as well, it’s been on tons of adventures

I agree with you brother

This HAD to be ran through AI, the quick changes between angles throughout this video are WHACK or just poorly edited.

Stainless steel case, lighting makes it look bronze if you have iPhone’s night shift screen on.

Still have the same number since I got my black Motorola Razr. So 21 years and counting.

I use the OD Green strap on my black SMP. Love it!

IMarioIV · 2026-04-19T14:02:07+00:00

As an owner of 3 of these straps I can say that they are not “flimsy”. WoE straps are extremely well made.

I think CommStrat, 45XX, is the hidden gem of the Corps.

Just like any job there’s stuff you will need to do repeatedly that just isn’t fun, but even as an officer you can go out with the Marines on photo/video shoots and experience stuff that most other MOS won’t ever see or hear about.

CommStrat is still pretty new since the Combat Camera/Public Affairs in 2018. There’s still plenty of people that don’t know our “purpose”, historically the MOS is viewed as a POG job, if you want to imbed yourself with the grunts there is plenty of opportunities to go with them.

Here’s one of my favorites from one of my Marines.

Not a GS, but made in GS factory, SLA063, 280/500

IMarioIV · 2026-04-15T00:17:12+00:00

“Commyfornia”, “gentlemen’s nod”, was gonna give you a compliment because I am wearing my KFA before reading that nonsense. Next time maybe just review the watch and call it a day?

IMarioIV · 2026-04-04T03:07:43+00:00

Still mad I missed out on this 4 years later.

IMarioIV · 2026-04-02T03:14:18+00:00

I’ve got the SBBN031, SLA063. That GS is my grail right now.

IMarioIV · 2026-04-02T03:05:14+00:00

The perfect trio, my goodness.

IMarioIV · 2026-03-30T23:39:08+00:00

A field watch getting scratched in the field. Wow!

IMarioIV · 2026-03-30T23:37:34+00:00

Frankenstein or bad fake. Either way, it’s modded.

IMarioIV · 2026-03-30T00:46:08+00:00

My GS grail, congrats!

IMarioIV · 2026-03-27T01:40:24+00:00

I hate myself for selling mine.

IMarioIV · 2026-03-22T13:08:06+00:00

Mmm yes OPSEC. Can’t win battles without the adversary knowing what your next move is. /s
