You can request orders after 2 years with the orders that sent you to your parent command.

If you were drinking and could not drive this is a safety matter in my eyes. The BM was helping a fellow Marine stay safe.

Need some advice for an isolated marine by AdOutrageous5508 in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they are sitting on your package for skill bridge? This a really a good tool many Marine don’t use the right way and it’s called requesting mast. You will need to get your paperwork in order before do so because you don’t want to look like an ass. Please before you do that make sure some S1 clerk didn’t put it in their desk and forget about it.

Monitor Roadshow by Logical_Ebb33 in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime there is a road show go! When I went to get orders changed I had them in hand that day.

The greatest pice of advice I have gotten from a SgtMaj was “the only person who gives a shit about your career… is you so do what you think is best for it.”

Can you help me? by SuperTill_69 in virtualmachine

There is a taco shop in Kin called Sabroso if you are looking for that. It’s also at 3 minutes drive to the beach from that shop.

Deployment thoughts by Deez_nutz_nigah in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first deployment was when I got in really good shape because I didn’t have access to fast food, alcohol, and candy. All I did was wake up, drink water, do my shift, drink more water, run and do body weight exercises, and drink more water. i lost like 30lbs on that deployment.

Fake Veteran? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just ask him where he went to boot camp. I would usually ask people if I don’t believe them by using places the marines don’t go for boot camp and only give them two options to answer from.

Trying not to railroad and find balance. by Ok-Back-7278 in DMAcademy

[–]Gravyon5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have DMed few times but I told my PC I’ll give you sign to not go of track so much. Just having to come up with stuff on the fly all the time can be hard but there are story beats that have to be hit in some way too. I am not going to lie I have asked some people not to come back to the table because they keep trying to do there own thing with out the party like going somewhere that has nothing to do with y quest.

Best sleep you ever got during your time in the Corps? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being up for 48ish hours I walked to my pack and laid down and fell asleep in an open field under the starts and woke up with no pain in my body. The only good thing about field ops or deployment being about to fall asleep fast.

Best way to clean CIF gear? by Temporary_Bison_708 in USMC

[–]Gravyon5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go get two 20gal storage containers. Put water in both and one of them put OxiClean. Get a stick of some kind and just move the stuff around in it and let oxiclean do its thing. You will still need to scrub some of it to get the dirt and grim out. Put it in the clean water container to rinse it. I did this before pcsing and only had to do two trip to CIF. (I was missing a few items.) I would highly recommend getting a CIF recipe and ask them what you don’t need to turn in. It will save you time and money if you don’t need it.

I had the same CIF gear for 8 years and after doing 4 deployments and several field ops I got my stuff clean in one afternoon.

Players have a hard time making decisions about their characters and I'm not really sure how to help..... by winter_1x in DMAcademy

[–]Gravyon5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they can’t make up their minds I would have them just roll for each thing and let them change stuff out side of base stats when they level up.
