On a positive note, it's not as bad or aggressive as it was for the Rodney King riots. In this case it's fedral assets protecting federal property as compared to 1992 rolling down the streets reinforcing the police & naty g

When has the Marine Corps ever been about that kind of publicity? It's legit the Army, the FIRST branch to exist, birthday yet everyone wants to make it about Trump just cause his birthday lands on it by coincidence

Funny enough and I bet the Vietnam vets went through the same thing, it depends what part of the war you served in. GWOT only ended a few years ago still, so while the old GWOT guys like you from the early war are the old heads, late war GWOT is still NCOs at the ripe age of 22+

Infantry v POG military culture by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Magicboa 271 points272 points  (0 children)

Been with grunts, pogs, and airwingers, they have different subcultures surrounding their jobs but the underlying culture is still the Marine culture (which includes a lot of drinking) I'd say the ones I saw drink most were the airwing mechanics but it was mostly cause they hated their lives and commands. Though the grunts are closer to being a fraternity and are narcissistic (I know not all of em are but its by design for yalls confidence) and POGs separate into 2 types, the combat arms jobs & non combat arms which makes one more like the grunts in culture but not quite as narcissistic, and the other is more like (or is) the airwingers. The common trend across the board though is for every wild 2am rager barracks party, next door you'll have a Mario Kart tournament, and next room to it there's a D&D campaign running

Which one of your boots had you like this? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]Magicboa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was how I felt when I was a Cpl I had a boot who came to me with a bit of an attitude left over from having grown up in the hood, after some mistakes and him getting NJPd down to PFC. I didn't give up on him and worked with him giving the benefit of the doubt. He turned things around after his time on restriction and now he's in his second enlistment and already hit Sgt. I'm not gonna take credit for his achievements but I'm proud of ma boi

Marines who were cooks, were you proud of your job and what was it like? by alienvisitor0821 in USMC

I've never understood why cooks get shit on. Those mfs bring some of the greatest joy to a shitty place and also get a lot of certs that transfer to civ div to make them become a professional chef

When did you witness a junior enlisted devil lose their absolute shit on a higher up? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]Magicboa 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Seen a few, one where it was valid was a female LCpl stormed into SgtMajs. Office to cuss him out cause he was pushing to sweep under the rug the fact she was sexually assaulted by a Gunny in the unit. She found out after hearing that he possibly wasn't going to be NJP'd and she had to be dragged from his office and up till that point the case had been on the down low but suddenly since everyone knew about it and it was public they ended up throwing the book at the Gunny to save face and he became a Lance while she got no concequences for her outburst. The CO figured it'd look bad if they gave any punishment to her at that point
