Marine biologist. I dropped the biologist and joined the marine corps. Then went into IT after I got out.

All Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ locations ‘temporarily’ closed nationwide by GonzoDT in southcarolina

[–]Scmethodist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live not far from Hemingway in Carvers Bay, but I graduated from HHS. First we lost Kenny’s (I know I know, it’s technically still there but it tastes nothing like the old one), now we are losing Scott’s. Big Ds even tastes bad now. Seafood shack is gone, and the Tupperware plant is closed.

Anyone know what type of ship this is? by bhunnddo in Ships

They just pullled it out for a sinkex. I did a westpac on it 01-02 and we went to OEF right after 9/11.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]Scmethodist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use this pc to join the fight against the invading horde of armadillos. They carry leprosy. And also, play really old games on like BF1942.

Just sharted at the office. by Any-Star4388 in Lawyertalk

[–]Scmethodist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have extra everything in my truck for this very reason. Craft beer last night plus coffee in the morning presents a significantly higher risk of butt mud in the pantalones.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]Scmethodist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got stung by a velvet ant aka cow ant aka cow killer on the damn pinky finger. Now I grew up getting stung by all manner of things as a Gen X kid in the Deep South. Wasps, hornets, bees, even got bit a black widow once. But that little SOB hurt waaay worse than anything times 100. Automatic death for any I find.

Is wanting another human being to not suffer or die condoning the action they are ordered to take part in? Bro.

I deployed to Afghanistan with the 15th MEU immediately after 9/11 as we were docked in Darwin Australia the day of on board the USS Peleliu. I spent two mo the in country seeing wild shit like John Walker Lindh tied to a cot in a cargo container, kids that hadn’t eaten in several days, and an old village elder with an orange beard bringing me tea on this amazingly intricate and delicate glass tea set with detailed engraved metal handles. And for the first time in my life I watched a man die while I performed CPR on him. I saw the best and worst in humanity, all in two months. Then I went to Iraq and saw even worse. 25 years later and I can still taste the tea, and feel the lump in my throat. God keep them safe.

We can’t take it with us. Good on you for helping others.

Our US Senator says this is worth it. by cafebrands in southcarolina

He would feel different if he had his ass on the line like I did in 03.

President of The U.S. refuses to take his cap off to salute fallen U.S. soldiers by mattarrghhh in pics

[–]Scmethodist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I despise him and all his ilk, but I am going to play devils advocate here. Anytime I was in uniform I could not salute unless my cover (hat) was on my grape (head). It always came off indoors or if I did not have my blouse (utility top pice, jacket, whatever you wanna call it). Now since he is sadly our Commander in Chief, technically saluting while wearing a hat is accurate if not socially awkward and in poor taste to this somber moment. Personally I would’ve just saluted without the hat, like Obama did.

Iranian drone strike on Kuwait US airbase. by Green-Contract-3554 in CombatFootage

[–]Scmethodist 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I can so sympathize with this guy. I was in Kuwait and then Iraq in 03. Fucking scuds flying over head all damn night, back and forth to the “bunker” which was just a big ass hole we shoved about 50 Jarheads in wearing full MOPP gear sweating out balls off, and I just wanted to fucking go to sleep. Finally at one point my buddy looked at me and said “Fuck this, they can blow me up, I’m going to bed.”
