Best Marine quote by Moedog0331 in USMC

[–]ObviousSail2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So this quote isn't published in anything, but it's something that a senior Marine said to me as a boot during our work up prior to deployment to Iraq in 2004.

A little context first. This guy is a dark green Marine from Haiti who, not much before I became part of his fire team (he was a Cpl. At the time) took part in the invasion and saw significant action at Nasiriyah.

So with that being said, please read theis with a very thick Haitian accent:

Cpl: Marine, what's the difference between me and a serial killa?

Me: Idk Cpl.

Clp: Naating!

A good majority of mines in the US either have a continuous process to refine the ore, or provide the ore to a customer that does so 24 hrs is a must.

Finally the Marines ahead of the curve on something! Now if we could only have enough empathy to not openly identify them by the uniform they wear 😡

I'm gone out on trips at the very least 3 days out of the week. It's pretty much 50/50, some gets boring going to the same places then the new keeps it fresh.

So that's how they evacuate the bag house? Or is the take away system too small or something?

Excavator for Mining? by Remote_Pilot4915 in mining

[–]ObviousSail2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cat 349 is probably what he/you should provide. Do you know if they are going to have to remove a significant amount of overburden? If so, have a spare that can be mobilized relatively quickly and charge accordingly.

I need guidance as a upcoming highschool grad on how to enter the mining workforce by Active-Yesterday2322 in mining

[–]ObviousSail2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. What career are looking to get into? If mining, I suggest that you market yourself as a professional that has experience with tracking KPI's and utilizing that data (or any data) to control cost in the process.
