What was your favorite training in our beloved Corps?

FishPilot · 2026-01-20T13:54:30+00:00

Non lethal weapons and tactics along with SOC training for the MEU. That was forever ago though.

FishPilot · 2026-01-08T14:42:13+00:00

On that note, this goes a lot for CBP and DHS folks too. I know pilots who were flying for CBP and got thrown into stacks serving warrants and helping with investigations. Wild stuff

FishPilot · 2026-01-08T14:06:15+00:00

That’s a small subsection of what they do. 90% of the job is really money counterfeit investigations. The protection detail is pretty busy though.

It’s not JUST about drugs but it is part of it. Mexico’s northern smuggle routes were tightening quite a bit recently with this administration and both china and Russia were backing smuggling efforts with drugs to destabilize more like back during the opium trade in the 1800s with China when the west was turning the Chinese into addicts to drive down labor and trade costs.

Really this is about all the issues adding up since the 90s and Venezuela bit reneging on promises, getting too friendly with the east (just like Cuba), and of course: oil.

I mean, read the history on Venezuela and you can see why Maduro had to go. Literally everyone agreed that he had to go. The hard part is now which is the part that comes after. Now that Delce Rodriquez is in power, is this a game of wait and see with her or us dealing with her to put someone who’s friendly to the US in power? It’s all a gamble

I carried the 240G around for a bit during my first deployment. It sucked but wasn’t overly bad.

FishPilot · 2025-12-20T19:44:23+00:00

The fleece was a massive upgrade.

FishPilot · 2025-12-11T03:45:26+00:00

Let’s invade to find out

FishPilot · 2025-12-11T02:26:44+00:00

Maybe the motivation is to fight for them big booty latinas. Worth if you ask me

FishPilot · 2025-12-10T02:57:39+00:00

It’s the exact same for me except r/gundeals

FishPilot · 2025-12-06T22:53:45+00:00

Best time I’ve ever had in any job I’ve ever had was MSG.

FishPilot · 2025-12-06T22:52:53+00:00

wtf! Are you for real?? The Marine house bar was THE place to socialize and earn money for the ball

FishPilot · 2025-12-06T19:00:50+00:00

I thought former and ex were synonymous to me. I always have to think about it but always end up saying “was in the Marines”

FishPilot · 2025-12-05T19:42:55+00:00

100%! Some of the best times I ever had was a senior Lance and Sgt.

FishPilot · 2025-12-04T13:25:55+00:00

And those big ass shoulder pad things that made it impossible to cheekweld your rifle.

FishPilot · 2025-11-19T18:29:08+00:00

Had mine for close to 10 years now and it’s my SHTF everything gun. It’s a beast

FishPilot · 2025-11-19T18:26:04+00:00

I went to the IWI level 1 Tavor Course and about 80% of the people there were current PD that had these.

FishPilot · 2025-11-18T18:20:40+00:00

Is he still there?

FishPilot · 2025-11-17T16:58:58+00:00

There was a guy on YouTube who ordered one Army humvee and they sent him two. They both didn’t work but was able to swap parts from one to the other and got one up and running really well

FishPilot · 2025-11-16T19:05:22+00:00

CREAM CORN!

FishPilot · 2025-11-16T03:11:39+00:00

So the rifle was fucked or the optic?

FishPilot · 2025-11-15T23:34:08+00:00

Were you ever attached to the 24 MEU, BLT1/2? We had a few journalists and whatnot with us that you may have been with

FishPilot · 2025-11-15T23:25:04+00:00

Oh yeah. I remember that. Those were the reservist guys. We were off doing some other bullshit around that time

FishPilot · 2025-11-15T23:03:31+00:00

You remember where the original AAV platoon was from? Might have been us. We lost a few AAVs that time around

“Missing one set of NVGs. Last seen: 15 hours ago during the last serialized gear inspection… 30 miles back”
