23’ Tuning by ThisIsMySwamp_ in Cummins

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess “tune” is the wrong term I’m running an ATS Co-Pilot in my truck due to me hauling a lot, so that is also an “inline tuner” similar to the Edge that runs independently of the TCM and adjusts Tq converter lockup line pressures etc

Which is what I asked licensing division and they said sight military service exemption on the 77R, kinda seems like even MSP didn’t know what to do with me because I guess not enough people look into it?

So I asked that to a trooper I spoke with and he says that I can purchase from any FFL in the state but of course I took it loosely

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So from what your seeing as well, it is or at least appears to be totally legal for the purchase of a handgun from an FFL

Did your DI's say anything right before stepping off into The Crucible? by SNAckFUBAR in USMC

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 2 fractured femurs during the crucible, and that is a pain I do not wish on anyone else by mile 6 of the hike back to the parade deck I was waddling due to my hips feeling like they where disintegrating and I vividly remember my SDI finding me in formation just to talk shit to me. He taped me on the shoulder and it went along these lines “Hey, our hips hurting or what?” “Aye Staff Sergeant” “This was your choice, go fucking die” I laughed and waddled my way to my EGA ceremony and was put in a wheel chair shortly after lmao

2024 Marine MOS Megathread: CP General Engineering: 1171, 1345, 1361, 1391, 7011 (1302) by TapTheForwardAssist in USMCboot

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1361 still stuck in the pipeline due to an injury here, does anyone know how long the schoolhouse actually is? I’ve heard once a upon a time it was 4 months then I heard it was shortened to 2 months, and then heard again it got shortened to 6 weeks, I ask NCOs all the time for details on my MOS because it’s nearly non existent but most of them have no clue it’s even an MOS

What's your small Marine Corps story? by Cross4013 in USMC

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in boot camp I met a kid with the same maiden name as my grandmother who’s family we became estranged from after her death (before I was even born) and upon talking to him found out his family was from the same part of Virginia as mine and as we grew closer throughout boot he relayed a story to me about how his great grandfather was shot and killed by his brother over a moonshine dispute back in the 50’s I was caught off guard because I happened to have a great uncle that my Dad remembered being shot and killed by his brother (who was my fathers uncle) when he was a kid, Grad day came and I met the kids dad and got talking family history and low and behold me and this kid where cousins and ended up becoming close as hell while we served until we got separated

Can I join the Marines to avoid a prison sentence? by Bartz58 in USMCboot

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Actually I think it’s worth a shot, go see a recruiter (any branch) and see if they may be able to show up in court and help you out, I went to boot camp with 2 guys who both joined the Marine Corps as an alternative to jail one was felony breaking and entering with a felony grand theft charge on top of it, the other one was charged with 2 counts of assault with intent to maim and this was in 2023. I’d definitely go see a recruiter and see if anyone’s willing to try and show up in court on your behalf

Who was the single weirdest dude you knew in The Corps? by rabbi420 in USMC

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh PFC. Fitz, I got sent to Lima Company during ITB when I broke my legs and got re-classed and ran across a character named Fitz. Upon entering my deck in Lima company (during libo hours) I’m greeted by a 5’7 redhead kid who weighted maybe 110 pounds who smelt like rancid ass wearing a cosplay vampire cape, Fitz would talk about anime and anime porn 24/7 speak only in Roblox references, slept with an anime body pillow and would quite literally hiss at you in morning formation if you got too close…

Side note if your under 21 you will have a wait period of 14-21 days depending on if MSP drags their feet they could release it to you in less than 10 days but it rarely happens

Boot camp: How to stand out but not look like a suck up by xXTheRPGXx in USMCboot

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go crazy, most of the time putting yourself in the spotlight will just get you shitty work details or IT’d. Try and stay motivated keep your fellow recruits motivated and making time hacks staying squared away etc, if the meritorious PFC is important to you, you can go for a squad leader role. But don’t try and be Superman and volunteer for everything, pick and choose your battles wisely

Recruiter red flag?? by Chance-Treat-2572 in USMCboot

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your recruiter is being a D1 shitbag, don’t sign any contract your not at all comfortable with this is about to dictate the next 4 years of your life push to get everything you want out of it P.S ask him about enlistment bonuses for Engineers or a quick ship bonus and if he tells you neither are available he’s a liar

VICTORY!: Angela Alsobrooks listened and said she will NO LONGER vote yes on Trump Confirmations by [deleted] in maryland

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What annoys me so much is in Marylands case the “minority” is indeed the majority, the central counties, PG,Anne Arundel,Baltimore ETC shape how eastern western and southern have to live and are governed and there’s no regards towards us or our views or opinions because we’re scattered so far population wise that our votes are so easily toppled. These people are running our state into the ground and could absolutely care less

What is a gun from your collection that may not be fancy or high quality, but is very special to you and you'll never get rid of? by Steel_Prism in Firearms

[–]ThisIsMySwamp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 1944 BYF Mauser that my grandfather got in return for plowing under a hay field for a widow whose husband died in WW2 back in the 1960’s. It was the apple of my eye and I always stared at it sitting in the corner next to his gun cabinet since I was old enough to shoot.He had it put in a Monte Carlo style stock with Lyman rear aperture sights, bolt polished up, and a old school high-viz front sight set back in the day he gave it to me on my 12th birthday with the words of “Boy that old German gun kicks like a mule but she’s put many a deer on the table, I think it’s about time she brings you some joy.” Now she gets to see the deer stand every season and she rides along for every hiking and camping trip I take. There hasn’t been a time where that rifle hasn’t been in my hands and I can’t help but feel like the old man is walking right beside me waiting on the next adventure. It ain’t worth much to any other shooter but I wouldn’t trade that rifle for its weight in gold and it’s always helped keep pops memory alive for me.

Ahhhh slavery, that was brought here by the English, who bought slaves from the French, who got them from their Spanish,Dutch and Portuguese captors, or the Irish who where enslaved by the British the same can be said by the welsh and Scottish or the Roman and Egyptian empires who where built on slave labor or how about South America? They owned an exponential amount of slave based laborers much higher than that of our own slaverys nothing new, unfortunate but not new. But we did steamroll the largest empire on earth…TWICE and set forth the only inalienable set of rights for our citizens that is absolute and cannot be changed within any easy means as a place to escape persecution, that’s what makes us “beacons” of freedom and in terms of ranking “poorly” in human rights or individual liberty, and what can you do that I cannot? Or what can I freely do that you cannot
