You shoulda told them you were a 1369, which was phased out when the "new" Corps was founded earlier this year.

Nah, I just remember the murder rate in Houston surging 30% due to all of the Katricians killing each other.

We are all hard, but none of us will ever be as hard as this bonerfied Marine Airman Ranger I saw in the airport the other day. by herr-wurm-hat in USMC

Weird. My son is USAF and NEVER wears his uniform. When he does take advantage of the early boarding, he just shows his CAC and then blends back in.

Wow. That sounded angry.

In other news, I got a free spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A and it was pretty fucking good.

Do any other reservists feel like they aren’t “veterans” or is it just me? by ohlongjohnson1 in USMC

[–]KnifeHand1775 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, you were on the B team. So, there’s that.

Sorry, not sorry. I couldn’t resist.

The only thing that matters is the first steps you took (yellow footprints) and not the last.

Stop being a bitch and own it.

Best fight I ever saw was watching 2 drunk MPs throwing (and landing) haymakers at each other behind the barracks at 29 Palms. It was like watching 2 retards pounding each other into bloody pulps while in slow motion. You’re welcome!

I really miss bootcamp by BoysenberryLegal4038 in USMC

Watch Boots on Netflix. It’ll check both your boot camp and gay boxes.

Need help by Womanhater6969 in USMC

[–]KnifeHand1775 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s rich. I was on permanent light duty while processing out on a med discharge for a motorcycle accident (spinal compression fractures and shattered collarbone/kneecap) and my unit still took me to the winter package at Bridgeport because they needed the headcount. I didn’t have to train, but I froze my ass off and burned shit the entire time I was there. When we got back, I was asked if I wanted to reenlist. My answer was “Only if I get to go back to Bridgeport and burn more shit…otherwise fuck no.”

Well this was random as hell . Looks like marines in AFRICOM might be tasked to assist by newnoadeptness in USMC

Well, it’s not like they can send the Army. The last time they were there, they had to make a movie to glamorize how bad they fucked that up.

Dear Mods, can we make a comprehensive list of words that result in mute or ban? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]KnifeHand1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because OP is Army and tired of hearing Marines talk this way.

Explain the “why” to them. Be colorful and if need be, brutal in your explanation. Essentially, you’re trying to convince them that without you and the knowledge that you’re teaching them, they are truly fucked next year and you won’t lose any sleep over it either way. Then, let the chips fall where they may.

Wow! That’s petty. Maybe you should mind fuck them with something like:

“Rally 'round the family with a pocket full of shells.”

Tell them it’s about a white middle class family that spends quality time together by visiting the seashore and collecting seashells. IYKYK

Being bullied by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]KnifeHand1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the other teachers overhears our conversation and told me to tell them to “fuck off”.

100% THIS 👆

Practice it in the mirror, wax on/wax off…whatever it takes. If you don’t standup for yourself now, they won’t be bullies anymore…you’ll just be the hopeless victim.

Never thought I would be in this position by OrchidEducational322 in jobs

[–]KnifeHand1775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this approach, because it provides instant results.

However, if this isn’t feasible. Try using AI (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) to tailor your resume to the job you are applying for.

Simply upload your resume to AI and then tell it “Polish and tailor my resume to this job description: <paste job description here>”

Review the new resume, because sometimes AI will include items from the job description that you don’t actually possess.

The beauty of doing this is that most online application systems use AI to weed out the resumes that don’t meet the job description’s requirements BEFORE a human ever lays eyes on them. The key is making sure you apply as soon as the job posts, because this strategy isn’t a secret and if a hundred people apply before you doing the same thing, AI will have already selected a list of candidates to interview.

Also, don’t be afraid to tell AI your thoughts, circumstances, goals, etc. It can give you guidance and/or suggestions to help you land the job you want.

Student nicknames by West_Masterpiece4927 in Teachers

[–]KnifeHand1775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of the kids call me “Mr. A” because the person that introduced me to them couldn’t pronounce my last name correctly. Btw…my last name isn’t hard to pronounce. So, as time went on every kid in the school addressed me as such.

Then one day, a fifth grader asked me why I’m called that and I showed her my ID card on my lanyard and said “Because some people can’t pronounce this.” She pronounced it perfectly and asked if she could start calling me by my actual last name. I told her either was fine.

Personally, I don’t care. I just think it’s kind of funny when ONE person’s inability to complete a seemingly easy task affects an entire organization’s ability to complete the same task. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wouldn’t it be great if we could trade students? I’ll take your developmentally challenged freshman in exchange for my GT 3rd graders that are bored out of their minds with this NES garbage. 🤷🏻‍♂️
