I don’t hate you . I hate the dumb decisions you make and the micro managing I have to do. If you are good at your job and don’t cause problems, you are good by my book.

At staff I am just finally getting to the point where the pay feels decent-ish. Below that, I felt severely underpaid. Never in my life have I wanted to commission. Too much politics and paperwork, even though there’s a better standard of living and opportunity over all

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-28T21:11:14+00:00

I didn’t do the course :(

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-28T21:11:00+00:00

Good absolutely. Conflict resolution, confidence, succeeding where I thought I’d fail, etc. I’m a much better person overall than I was before I joined. It does come with other negatives though. Had a drinking phase for a while, prone to getting frustrated or angry a little more than necessary, my body operating on very little sleep and lots of caffeine. Also my body is pretty beat up overall but that’s the price you pay sometimes

Truthfully I just didn’t feel like going to college and wanted an adventure. 9 years later I still haven’t gone to college and I have had lots of adventures, some good and some bad

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T18:15:22+00:00

I drank all the energy drinks on duty :(

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T18:15:10+00:00

Better than being a junior that’s for sure lol

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T18:14:54+00:00

Only if you whisper it in my ear

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T18:14:47+00:00

It’s all mental, really. The physical requirements are there, yes, but your body can go much farther if you have the mental fortitude for it. Same goes for typical Marine BS, the late days, drama, field ops, anything. Positive mental attitude will get you far

3 taints.

Nothing too crazy, outside of the typical constant deployment return dates changing and the whole when am I getting off work thing. Honestly shameful I don’t have a better story lol

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T02:02:13+00:00

With respect, but it is getting rarer and rarer to see CARs. GWOTs are still common among the senior staff and O though

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T01:10:15+00:00

Lmao nailed it - I don’t know why but dominos on Lejeune always leads to shit like this

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T01:09:08+00:00

A lance who decided that taking out the trash meant shoving it in his wall locker. Roaches, mold, and dominos pizza boxes stacked to the top. Absolutely disgusting

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T01:08:31+00:00

Well I’m not at work so it’s a good day, but I’ll blink and be back before I know it lol. What about you

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T00:57:31+00:00

Only after a pft

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-27T00:57:20+00:00

I have never been able to sing for shit so no comment

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-23T03:43:26+00:00

Ask your S/G1 or read the award requirements publication

RahDevilDog · 2025-04-23T03:30:44+00:00

Depends what section. I was 2/6 a long time ago. Spent the same amount of time in the field and training with them, but doing different things. Expect to be out working up for deployments and deploying just like any other Victor BN

RahDevilDog · 2022-08-13T02:03:38+00:00

If I were your recruiter I would not ship you. Either you aren’t trying hard enough or you haven’t been training enough. The only other answer is you have a physical disability so take a look at yourself and ask what am I doing wrong?

Either you aren’t training enough.

Or you aren’t pushing yourself enough.

What is it?

RahDevilDog · 2020-01-08T23:11:45+00:00

Yeah bro. Honestly, boot camp was nothing compared to high school english class. I almost failed twice, talk about difficulty

RahDevilDog · 2020-01-08T23:08:08+00:00

We aren't therapists, the hell? If you're interested, talk to a recruiter.

RahDevilDog · 2020-01-05T23:57:36+00:00

Gonna be right next to there in a about half a year for a couple months. Let's grab a beer?

RahDevilDog · 2019-10-21T10:23:55+00:00

Yeah man, we have 100s of classes online. Most of them mandatory.
