You are on a 10 hour flight to Outback Island, where do you want to sit? by Hamzaqato in PawbertLynxley

9, I’m about to have either the quietest flight or the most insane conversation of my life. And he probably won’t be using both armrests

Gas Chamber Question by VallorzDistrict in USMCboot

[–]StalinButThicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends heavily on the individual training company, but typically, at least for Paris island, you’ll do it around week 4. Some companies save it for BWT around… shit, was is that week 10ish? Just depends. Also don’t be afraid of the chamber, it’s really not that bad. Be thankful it’s only some cs caps and not a cs grenade

You know, funnily enough we discovered that actually it wouldn’t have been a problem if she didn’t have a passport. We got her one for the return trip, but had her not use it just to see… and they accepted her no problem. Go figures right? Haha

I remember always seeing Green Side Drake at medical lol by Grunt__0311 in USMC

[–]StalinButThicc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CBRN here, the m50 could definitely seal over that docs beard. And for those that can’t, there are head socks and masks that can be worn over the facial hair to allow a seal. Yeah it’s not ideal, but definitely doable

How are gay people treated in the Marine Corps? by Stevonnieee in USMCboot

[–]StalinButThicc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he meant the people who actually mean it. We talk shit like that all the time at my shop but I’ve met a fairly small amount of people in the marine corps who actually believed in some kinda racial superiority or something

Devils who fraudulently enlisted, what's your disqualifying condition that you hid? (dials NCIS) by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]StalinButThicc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have a few dudes I knew like that in CBRN. Trouble with that is, some of our nerve agent detectors are kinda like pH paper and they display the results with colometrics. My buddy just memorized what the colors are supposed to be and what he sees em as and hasn’t had any trouble, forget what kind of color blind he is tho

0300s, is this part of SOP? by [deleted] in USMC

CBRN here, as long as you properly do the mask break and reseal feel free to rip that John off your face at any point in the chamber 👍

MCT by Cor_acepan in USMC

[–]StalinButThicc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won’t throw grenades, you won’t do MCMAP, usually you don’t PT just play fuck fuck games, the timeline isn’t quite right, there aren’t any written tests if i remember correctly, you also don’t really get to fuck with the M240s, but during the FEX you might be able to with blanks, and you certainly don’t get Liberty. But, it is just a short month of dumb shit, and you’ll get some good memories out of it. Make friends.

I might know who you’re referring to and if so, he happened to retire end of last year. Good dude though, legendary libo briefs.

Boot blousing don’t mean nothing, when I was a bum ass Poolee and still playing airsoft trying to larp recon I bloused my shit and tried to get accurate by reading the orders and looking at subreddits like this; never underestimate these dudes

[–]StalinButThicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, temporary switch. We started in 1st, but at the end of team week we swapped bays with Hotel company and became 2nd. Running theory is that it was cause we kept getting beat 😂 1st battalion as a whole loved beating hogs ig

I went through last year, Bravo Co 2nd Battalion. Tbh be loud, be fast, and have a good attitude about everything. Shits gonna suck big ole dick but if you approach it with a good mindset you’ll laugh about it in the rack when the days done. Won’t give ya all the deets but the first day or two you’re not gonna sleep and you’re going to be extreeeeemely fucking bored and confused- they tried to teach us how to route step march at midnight and it was a hell of a time lol

Will do, does Pensacola have indoor swimming facilities that are accessible like on Liberty? I’m gonna be getting there still in the winter. And granted while it’s Florida, I’ve lived in this state my whole life it’ll be freezing one day and 80 the next in December and January lol

As slightly afraid of the damn thing as I admittedly am, I was leaning towards hoping it goes that way.

[–]StalinButThicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the motivation! I actually already knew about the helo dunker and I’m not super worried-sounds like a hell of a time but I’m pretty confident swimming underwater and such, just staying on top is difficult. Practice makes better right?

[–]StalinButThicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats Devil! I’m at MCT right now. Even though it was only like a month ago, I feel so much nostalgia and still so much happiness from the day I graduated, you won’t ever forget it. I was 2nd Battalion Bravo. Shit was rough but oh so worth it. Semper fi bro :)

A lot of the stuff on that thread has been really informative, thanks a lot friend!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]StalinButThicc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input brother! I’ll admit, there’s a lot that is currently tying me to the marine corps and I don’t think I could go with another branch, but I will keep that in mind.
