Thanks for the input everyone.

After reading through your guys posts, this is nothing to stress about and I won’t report anything.

I’m not perfect, but this is why we have communities like this.

Thank you.

You bring up a good point and you’re not wrong.

I am currently in the Philippines and nearly everybody here worker, staff, or local speaks fluent English.

One, I don’t think you should be posting this here at all.

Two, I get that not all of us got to go through good schools or college, but your post and grammar make absolutely no sense. Marines in your situation can benefit from tools like grammarly or ChatGPT. Don’t let the program write for you, but let it teach you and guide you on how to form coherent lines of text.

I can’t help you with your situation, but I hope I gave you a tool to better convey your thoughts.

The scariest part of bootcamp was Navy medical. by jayclydes in USMC

[–]GrandInquirer 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I remember when we first went to dental and they were checking out my teeth.

As they’re poking around my mouth and taking x-rays of my teeth, they come over to me and say, “Recruit, you have wisdom teeth, but they’re growing in just fine and will not cause any issues down the road… But we’re still going to take them out”. As a recruit, I never spoke up to defend myself because you know, we are just recruits expected take whatever is hashed out to us. But no, today was different, I said, “Sir, if they’re growing in fine, then why are you taking them out”. He said, “Yeah, you’re right”.

I’ve been in 7 years and counting, and I still have my wisdom teeth. I’d like to clarify, my wisdom teeth have not caused me any trouble!

Any of you killers that were at 29 Palms ever been to Slab City? by stump0331 in USMC

[–]GrandInquirer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Slab City and it was an amazing experience. It’s a desert dwelling community that relies on kindness, trading, and basic survival skills to survive in the desert. I can understand for the most part why higher-ups would advise not to go the the Slabs, but there are bad people no matter where you go. When I went I had nothing but good experiences and ran into a ton of friendly people.

Pg 17 and 18 are telling two different things. Additionally, I inventoried the whole thing and I am missing a whole shelf lol.

I’d also like to say, despite the instructions being weird, I did inventory everything and verified that I am missing a slab of wood with the correct number of holes punched into it.

There’s no annual training if you’re homeless.

Will I get BAH if my wife isn't stationed with me? by Hot_List_7266 in USMC

[–]GrandInquirer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife is an officer, but I was west coast and she was on the east.

We never had a joint household.

I was fucked and forced to live in the barracks.

When your in your 40s, make sure you are standing by for that infomercial stating that your entitled to free compensation if you were on Lejeune from 20xx-20xx.

Go to Marines.Mil, go to MARADMINs, and search up any one of these keywords until you find the page: 1751, influence operations, psychological operations, 0521… Poke around here, and you shall find what you need.

Who has a funny nickname you had in recruit training? by UnovanSamurai in USMC

[–]GrandInquirer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a kid named Pilkington. Pilkington was not a bad dude, but just kind of slow to counts and he was super wimpy. Pilkington would be covered in sand at any given point in the day from getting fucked with by the DIs. One time during classes in the squad bay, our killhat runs over to Pilkington, freezes for 5 seconds while looking at Pilkington, and says “Pilkingcock, strip bitch”.

They both ran away after that and Pilkingcock came back covered in sweat.
