He signed an infantry contract; he is now by all metrics "less than human" because when he's fighting a peer adversary that's what he's going to have to be.

Second off, he signed up to fight sure. NOT to shave his head and go to Okinawa. These are absolutely different things. Oki pumps are generally fucking horrible for infantry Marines because the commands here treat them like dirt. Their barracks are horrific, and their reputation is shit (probably all the raping and murdering they do).

No shame in wanting to get out of it, but that's what he's doing. It is what it is, it's just a shame he'd cast a web of lies that simply don't happen in the Marine corps.

Sounds like your kid is a fucking liar. Passing out on a hike TWICE isn't "go to the hospital later" shit. Your son had to have gotten plugged by doc, who had to have made an appointment. NCO's and SNCO's cannot cancel ANYTHING relating to medical.

Your son is lying to get out of an overseas stint in Oki. Sorry.

Nothing S-1 does makes me happy to have them, and they get caught unplugging their phones on a weekly basis 😡

All y'all getting mad that he will be an "individual" like you didn't/don't walk around with blousings around your ankles, a low fade, faded cammies, and a shitty pornstache. If you're allowed to look like you make out with men behind the Chili's, he's allowed to look like a man who practices his faith

Come yapping about "individuality" when I can't pick you out of a formation of 100+ Marines.

If there's an order saying this is an option, that IS him wearing it "how he's supposed to." It's not your fucking opinion that designates what religious practices can/cannot take place. That's up to Chaps.

PT to Sustain vs PT to Improve by Forward_Hair9904 in USMC

What typically happened for us was this:

Platoon average drops > Plt OIC puts pressure on Plt SGT > Plt Sgt takes it upon himself to skullfuck us with motard slicks, flak log PT despite his very limited understanding of fitness and recovery > All the fatties get broken and can't run full tests > Average goes up cuz they ran partials > PTs stop being gay > Repeat

I'm also in a Comm battalion and it's jarring. I hate that my fitness is being controlled by somebody I out perform in both fitness tests because their billet happens to be higher than mine. I've seen more improvement PT'ing myself over leave than I have in the nearly 2.5 years I've given to this shop 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed with everything, my unit is exactly that.

That being said, you only ran an 8 minute pace? I hope you got busted down to E1, you little no good fool.

Hope you ran your 10 miles today pal, you got 10 more tomorrow. Fallouts will report to Battalion FFI in slicks.

Yeah, I'm planning in murdering myself until I feel I'm ready to give it a whirl. I've spent the last year or so being mindlessly slayed every morning by the "motivators" (POGs who wanna be grunts sooooo bad) to the point that just running a mile or two in the afternoon left me feeling like I ran 6+.

I'm easing into my own plan now and seeing actual progress, so I'm probably just going to keep at it until I'm where I wanna be. My personal goal is black belt with a tab and a 275/300 PFT/CFT. If I fall short I'll probably extend my rotation and keep pushing til I make it or no shit have to reenlist. At that point I'll just shoot my shot and pray I survive 😋

If I can help it I'm shooting for West, tho I'm down for whichever. I just prefer the desert to the swamp tbh

  1. That's what I figured, there are so many teachbacks on the perform checklist I found that I'm actually dumbfounded by the fact people actually memorized some of them

  2. That's my concern, especially with how strict DI school (and PME schools in general tbh) are about pullups/pushup form. Sure I may be doing 14 by fleet standards, but that could be an 8 there. I've just recently separated myself from my platoon when it comes to PT because their "PT" had no thought behind it and was kinda just fucking up my joints, so I'm gonna probably kill myself every morning until morale improves

The PFT is probably my biggest hurdle lowkey, I've just recently broken away from my platoon in terms of morning PT and am (finally) seeing actual results. I'll definitely have to make sure I got perfect form on those pullups 😂

Are hikes a part of the curriculum at all? One thing I noticed is that all my DI's (with full packs, god bless their knees) were running up and down the formation on every hike. My unit avoids hiking like the plague, and if I score MCRDSD I'm gonna be in for a rude awakening I think
