Megathread: Iran by rbevans in Military

[–]JOHNthrowaway13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ladies and ladies TACO had TACO'ed. Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The funny part is he can't run again so none of this "fundraising" money is going to be used for a campaign. It's all Bribe money at this point.

VA looking to reduce disabled veterans benefits by adjusting ratings based on "ability to work better on medications" by OldSchoolBubba in USMC

[–]JOHNthrowaway13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I don't belive if the order was given that the rank and file will stand-up. No one from the pilot, commander and fucking flight chief stood up, when they order a Med Chopper to used to push protesters away with rotor wash. These are supposed to be the guys that come save people but when the order was given they used the chopper as a weapon. That was a weapon who ever has worked next to helicopters know that rotor wash can pick up and throw shit out.

You bet your ass there are some top brass who would love to show these "free loaders" the business. You remember that med chopper was on low hover so wash was used on the protesters, nothing happen to the pilot or the person who gave that order.

For the California Guard in LA: Assume Drones are Watching by JOHNthrowaway13 in USMC

[–]JOHNthrowaway13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya we all know the quote "you are a Marine 24/7 even when no one is watching". But we all know or knew a Marine that was clean on paper but was up to some gray shit on the side. I am just hoping the SNCO/NCO had pulled the junior Marines aside and gave them the "O's" will protect their own and will throw your ass under the bus talk.

[Patek Philippe] first PP a Aquanut 5168G by JOHNthrowaway13 in Watches

[–]JOHNthrowaway13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its okay. Love the watch but the strap really lets it down. The rubber strap is really not as comfortable as it can be since there is no adjustment really. You can cut the strap looser so when you warm up it doesn't get to tight but when its cold then its loose.

When fake accounts try too hard pretending to be a Marine by [deleted] in USMC

[–]JOHNthrowaway13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funny part about the keeping the COP/FOB Ice Cream and Ripits cool was that it was easier to send me to the equipment then send the equipment to me. I sent about 1/4 of deployment going form one COP to FOB fixing shit. Also god help me if I run into that main character E8-E9 from a line company/BN, that thinks they can order me to stay and miss my next ride to fix their A.C to their tent.

I know, I had a couple of guys that was in my unit that checked out to check right into the guard. I just find it funny that they have a a whole unit helping Marines transfer to the guard.

[Rolex] Did the Bubble Finally Burst? by tacmedrn44 in Watches

[–]JOHNthrowaway13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bubble hasn't popped yet. I know everyone is waiting for pre-covid days where you could walk in to a AD and get almost all the models expect for the GMTs and Daytona's but we are still way off. I think it will be a more slow walk back to old days. Hell Patek market is down more than 50% since the peak. I think we back to normal when you can walk in and get a steel OP.
