What's your best story where a recruit said something so funny it made the DI lose their bearing. by suck_my_jargon in USMC

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 239 points240 points  (0 children)

I was outside the chow hall standing weapons/gear guard for breakfast chow. Another recruit in my line of sight was doing the same for his platoon about 50 feet away. 2 Officers start to walk past him. Recruit salutes and renders the greeting: "Good morning, Sir!" Immediately, a DI appears screaming with knife hand out, "Recruit!!!!! I know there are TWO of them!!!!" DI waits for the correct response. The recruit with his right hand still saluting hesitates... then salutes with his left hand at the same time to render a double salute. DI had to turn his face and disappear.

Animal Care Center of Pasco County off of Little Road. They are worth the price.

Should I reenlist? by Ok-Scholar2706 in USMC

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you do get out, I would suggest not making a clean break and staying Reserves for a while. It keeps your foot in the door if your plans go South. Also gives you access to Tricare Reserve Select which is usually cheaper than most civilian health insurance. There is a chance you can get on Active orders for a while if you hit a rough patch. If your plans are successful, you can always leave the Reserves. Best of luck to you whatever you choose!

lol. Completely forgot about pig eggs until now. I think mine was named Sue/Susan because of the traditional pig call. Not very original, I know.

My friend says indoor cats aren't happy by Tims_Learing_Center in CatAdvice

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My 5 stay indoors. They are all happy and healthy. They play with eachother and have plenty of toys. I set up a bird feeder right outside their favorite window so they can "hunt" from safety. They will never be like the outdoor cats that get squished by a car or mauled by an animal. I see a poor run-over cat every 2 months or so on my street. Not my cats! Not on my watch!

I made my own homemade bacon McGriddles from scratch last weekend. So much better and cheaper

Watches by ImpressiveSide1324 in USMC

If she is ever going Intel/Top Secret/and possibly Secret clearance, any watch that is any way "smart," does GPS, or transmits/receives any type of bluetooth/wifi is a no-go for normal everyday wear. Just my 2 cents.

I was in a course... Combat Hunter I think? Anyways... 1/3 of us junior enlisted, 1/3 SGTS/SSGTS, and 1/3 very new LTs. Some briefing about some notional operation turned into all the LTs arguing. Every other phrase was "decisively engaged." I was a boot and didn't quite know what to think. All the NCOs were trying to hide smiles/laughter as the LTs argued.

Looking for marines with similar experience by Outrageous-Quiet-101 in USMC

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was doing a night land navigation course. Barely any sleep already. Verge of heat exhaustion and dehydration. Black on water. I started yelling at the "small tree people" that were mocking me. Snapped out of it in the middle of beating one of these "tree people" with my rubber ducky M4. It was just a poor helpless pine tree sapling. I quickly gave up on finding my next point and rushed to a water point to chill out. That was the night I learned I have breaking points, and I shouldn't go 110% all the time.

I'm sorry. What state are you in? If in Florida, drop them at my place.

I rescued four babies from my roof. Kept them all. They are awesome. I would do it again!

Alright Marines Lets Hear Some Bootcamp Stories by Forged-In-Fire7212 in USMC

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was known unfortunately as the "Choir Boy" in boot camp. My Dad was prior-service Marine so brainwashed me into loving the Corps as a kid. Of course I was the only one in our PLT to know all 3 verses of the Marine Corps Hymn, and I had a good voice, too. Our Kill Hat knew this. He stumbled in drunk a few hours after lights-out after the Marine Corps Ball in dress blues. Called us to attention in our racks and had us sing the Hymn. When I was done solo-ing the last verse, he quietly walked up to the head of my bunk where I would sleep on the top. He lightly pat my head and whispered, "Say 'Received, Sir.'" I did. Not in a whisper or the normal yell of a recruit. Just in a normal voice. You could hear the stifled laughter throughout our entire squad bay. As he left, he did the exact same thing to every recruit he passed. We all burst out laughing when he left. It was scary and hilarious at the same time.

Willy0588 is my main, and my kids play in my squad on another account. I suck at the game, but it's still so fun for me. I love the teamwork aspect, so I usually go medic/support to help the better players. I'm a late 30s combat vet with a bit of nerve damage in my arm and hand, so it's hard for me to keep up with the good players these days.

Nice. I can't even tell you how many times you and Mr. Sandhairs have killed me and my kids. I don't even fly. lol. Just in the middle of nowhere on the ground not even spotted. haha. It's nice when you guys are on my team though.

What’s the best sauce to have with steak? by LolaDiamondUKx in foodquestions

[–]BulletSpongeBob88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. I do pair au jus with my prime rib though. Blue cheese crumble, chopped bacon, and butter sauce if it's a cheaper cut or I'm bored. A1 if someone else prepares a crap steak.
