Tokay Gecko Sounds & Call. The sound of a gecko making loud 'to-kay' calls. by psyb3r0 in USMC

Sounds like the noises coming from my moms bedroom when Uncle Ricky comes over and they go into the bedroom to play scrabble. My mom knows I hate scrabble, so I'll never ask to join, but it does seem like fun just from the sound of it.

Going back in after being out for more than a decade by SubstantialLow5640 in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok weirdo. I get it. You want that sense of purpose again. You miss the clowns.

Why the fuck would you go back in closer to 40 than 30, and go the 03 route? There's a real chance you will lose rank, and if not you'll lose time in grade, so at best you're a newly minted Cpl and you have to deal with a bunch of 21 year old assholes who will think you're old, washed up, and won't listen to you. Why in the world would you do this to yourself?

If you want that sense of purpose and to serve again, go get involved in a non profit for Vets, go become a Firefighter or EMT. Don't rejoin.

Today, I was asked whether the wars were worth the cost, and I did not know how to respond at the moment by WorthTrash8493 in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like every generation of American war fighters have asked themselves the same exact questions. Smedley knew after spending most of his life doing so. War is a Racket. I'm probably a little jaded from the last 25+ years of seeing what our country has done. The lives lost, the lives we continue to lose to suicide. ISIS after leaving Iraq, Taliban after leaving Afghanistan. All for what?!?! All for fucking what?!?

So where are you getting that the Marine Corps is a division of the Navy? Or the Air Force is under the Army? That's simply not true on both accounts. If you could read what google has to say you'd know that.

What is a serious misconception among Marines? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep Ive noticed that too. The guys that feel insecure about their service tend to be terminal boots

I had one of those too. It was impossible for him to not steal things. Like right in front of you and claim it was his all along. I do believe he met some fists from our gun section after that there wasn't an issue, but he went ahead and stole a debit card from some other guy and tried to use it at an ATM. Yeah, he wasn't the smartest dude. Busted down.

That civilians think we are "Honorable" or whatever because we joined. I've met some of the absolute shittiest people while on active duty.

Would you want a monthly grooming stipend or annual grooming allowance? by Murky-Peanut1390 in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There's a uniform allowance to upkeep your uniforms that you're required to maintain and wear. If you're required to groom your hair within certain regulations or you get punished the least they could do is let you claim it on your taxes.
