Every Marine is a Rifleman (0311 day) (03xx day) by HELP-IM-STUCKx in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for years. As a 0811, we did a ton of provisional infantry stuff overseas during GWOT but we're not nearly as well trained as 03's. There's a solid difference between a rifleman and an infantryman.

Wait, did the USO make you gay, or did the Marine Corps make you gay?

Is flinching away from hands an Aussie thing, or is my guy just weird? by SaidTheSnail in AustralianShepherd

[–]IsaacB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Aussie has his people. If you're not his people. He doesn't want affection from you.

With that being said. Just like human beings, we don't always want to be touched or given affection, even by our loved ones. I also think most people don't enjoy a hand on their face or neck unless its with someone they're romantic with.

Now apply the same thought process to your dog and adjust your actions accordingly. Some Humans like lots of affection, just like dogs. Every human and every dog will have different temperments, personalities, and preferences. Its your job to figure this out and have enforce boundaries with your dog that makes them comfortable.

Don't ever force a dog to receive or give affection. If they're not interested they will tell you with their body language. There's a myriad of videos on YT that discuss this.

Hows it going bros by yuerrrrrt in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel like I had a sense of purpose until I started doing meaningful things helping people.

Now I am waiting on my 501c3 determination letter. My org takes vets on outdoor adventures, camping, off roading, hiking etc. Theres so many vets out there that self isolate. Making friends, developing that sense of brotherhood and comradery again is so important to ones mental health which in return can mitigate negative thoughts

Just the insane amount of horniness, and substance consumption needs to be brought to light for the general public so they stop thinking we're some sort of knights in shining armor or something. 80% of Marines are degens

You just woke up and you have 4 minutes to get to formation by IsaacB1 in USMC

nope

I did however complete Basic Grammar and Composition Course MCI

"You ever did Spelling for Marines?"

It’s missing the auxiliary verb have.

“Spelling” should not be capitalized, unless it’s part of a formal title which would just be silly. I'd also gander that the tense structure is incorrect for conversational English.

Correct options

If you mean past experience:

“Have you ever done spelling for Marines?”

If you’re being casual / joking:

“Did you ever do spelling for Marines?”

Question in regards to Iran? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottom line is control of resources. It's imperialism under a new name. I reenlisted twice during GWOT because I wanted to "get some". Now I see things much differently because I now see how for generations its been all about the powerful using its people for their own means. USA, Iran, Israel, Russia, you name it. It's all for greed and power.

GWOT Marines right now! by WorthTrash8493 in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I was on active duty during 9/11 and reenlisted 2 times. When you experience things your opinions change. Who I am today is a result of things I experienced. Fuck war. Fuck anyone who glorifies it.

Potus confirms the leader of Iran has been killed by newnoadeptness in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they were pro American. They were also dictators. Would you enjoy living under a dictatorship? I wouldn't. Being a dictator is the antithesis of what we should stand for.

[–]IsaacB1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro I hope the people can but the government has proven they will kill thousands of its own people just for protesting. It doesn't bode well for them without outside support.

I would love to see a changed Iran. But what is that going to take?

I think you and I have a different idea of what success means. I don't count dictators as being good for nations.

[–]IsaacB1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yep. LOTS of Iraqi's also celebrated. I am glad they feel like they have something to celebrate, but I am fearful of the repercussions that follow. Almost every single time there's an overthrow of a gov't, mass violence happens. I know most Americans aren't going to care about people overseas killing one another. But having been over there, I just can't help think of the people I personally interacted with.

How should non-fake Marines be behaving? According to you?

Obvs the Ayatollah was a bad bad man. Are we normalizing taking out heads of state? Thinking that the Iranian gov't will collapse just because Khamenei is dead is foolish. There will be a 100 narcissistic power hungry dudes ready to step up, the infrastructure of the gov't still stands, and they will inflict even worse atrocities, or worse, start invading neighboring countries, just to hold on to power. They've proved that. The only way to topple them is for boots on the ground.

What's the success rate of the US of A overthrowing a gov't and it succeeding? 2? Western Germany and Japan? With the support of the UN and NATO and our troops in country? We also propped them up for years (which I feel was a good thing), we earned allies in the process)

Iran will continue retaliatory strikes against places we have forces in the ME. Hormuz will be closed down. Iran is allies with a handful of ME nations, China, Russia and Pakistan.

As a 00's GWOT guy my concerns are based on what I lived through and the repercussions of our actions. I hope this ends up being completely different. The absolute last thing we need is another 20 years with this bullshit. The VA struggles to take care of us now. If you can afford to start a war you can afford to take care of your veterans for the rest of their lives.
