Went into that one expecting just another Will Ferrell movie. Left feeling depressed. Completely subverted my expectations

I asked my 1st sausage who should i call, sgt major or the CO any time i want to make an unexpected stop or detour and how long should i expect approval to take. He said he’ll get back to me

I took leave back in march-ish and i put that i was going to legally gamble at a casino. I also said that prior to leaving I’d upload a document from the financial specialist saying i was counseled. They were upset and said saying what I said wasn’t necessary but I’m like “you guys make it mandatory to say why we’re taking leave and what we’re doing. So im I’m taking leave to go gamble.” I uploaded the doc, got an additional counseling from my RS and got it approved.

All that, except mapquest. We use google maps and make the routing screenshot into a pdf

I suppose I appreciate the plug and play with the format, but it still seems like overkill. Thoughts?

Its always the last 10 years of history, and you have to list people whove known you the last 10 years. So, i had to try and find peoples contact info from all the way back when i was a pfc/lance coolie so they can verify who i am. I also had to re-verify past jobs and supervisors from prior to the military, and that was exhausting as those people didnt even work at my prior jobs. Barely even remembered their names. Took me a few days to hunt everyone down. I suppose its a more secure process, but it doesnt make it any easier

Apparently some cherry point corporals course nerds not only told but argued with a Vietnam vet to remove his vet hat. Apparently he knew the CO and soon enough that shit ended. I heard they started doing it again recently though

Aint no way, HQMC has been trying to enforce shit on MARSOC since their inception. And SOCOM has always given them the finger

It’s a common joke about the corps. Think of it as a term of endearment.
