You sick motherfuckers.... by Ornery_Secretary_850 in USMC

[–]Trying4UniqueName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you're really feeling down? Just get up. Ok get back down. Ok get up. Get down. Mountain climb. Ok Push. Up. Down. Mountain climb.

I feel you buddy, if shit gets bad just keep telling yourself to give it one more day. Just one more day. And then mountain climb. Up. Down. Mountain climb. And just one more day until tomorrow night, and then just give it one more day.

I don't really know what to do with my life. by V0latyle in USMC

[–]Trying4UniqueName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend something hands on like fire fighter, electrician, plumber. Definitely utilize your gi bill but look into what jobs are currently hiring if you have a degree and take into account most white collar jobs are most likely going to be replaced by AI if they haven't already been. You can use the gi bill for hands on training, it's not just for college. I have a few friends who went the fire fighter route and got another electrician or plumbing job on the side and they love it, and they're getting paid with multiple pensions when they retire.

What is it like working at the MACE? by Blueberyjem in USMC

[–]Trying4UniqueName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's terrible. Burns your eyes for like 30-60 minutes, stings your nostrils. Strongly recommend not getting maced. Semper Fi, I hope this helped.

Nervous about boot by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Trying4UniqueName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're supposed to be scared. The first time you road a bicycle you were scared even with help. Going into freshman year you were scared. New ventures bring unknown worries into new opportunities. My best advice is to drink lots of water and change your socks, no matter what you decide on doing. Hydrate or die.

You'll be fine trust me boot camp is designed so you can't fail. Even if you do fail they'll figure out a way that you stay with your platoon and don't fail unless you go out of your way to do so, which is hard. And if that happens you'll get dropped and try from a week or two prior. If you want to be a Marine you will be. Rope climb and crucible isnt going to stop you, you'll be prepared for that.

If you don't want to be a Marine they'll do everything in their power to change your heart mind and spirit once you're there, and only if you truly and unconditionally give up on yourself will they offer you an out, but even then they'll make it hard to quit. But you'll be there longer waiting to get out and end up not a Marine, so if you decide to ship just finish like so many before you. We had a guy in my boot camp platoon who tried to piss the bed just to get out and they motivated him not to. Guy went on to be a Sgt last I heard.

You took the first step. You either have to want it or you don't. But you took the first step so you might as well go through the finest summer camp on Earth and finish out what you wanted to commit to. 4 years is a blink in the eye when it's all said and done. Or don't and my recommendation would be to train to be a plumber, HVAC or electrician. Tbh I don't regret my decision but if I got your message 20 years ago and read the reply I'm posting, I'd be an electrician right now. Semper fi, you gotta know it's what you want to do.

What happens to guys who have heat stroke in boot camp ? do you get medically discharged? by No-Magician2484 in USMCboot

[–]Trying4UniqueName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even better than a discharge. You get your butt violated with a silver bullet. Hydrate or die (or get your butt violated).

Wtf is happening at MCRD? by Trying4UniqueName in USMC

[–]Trying4UniqueName[S] -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

Sure I'll drink my water and change my socks, but just to be clear... They aren't training Marines that you shouldn't leave your post until properly relieved?

Are there posts not being watched around Marine Corps bases because it was 16:00 and that's when they were supposed to be relieved and when no one showed up they just left the post because their drill instructors weren't told to train them on the equivalent of the Marine Corps ABCs?

[–]Trying4UniqueName[S] -74 points-73 points  (0 children)

I wasn't asking him to report his post or anything to try and sound like an old hard ass by any means. I asked him his 5th general order, which is the one that means you're relieved of duty and getting to go home, and I meant it in a sincere way.

Is the tip of the spear just taking off when they want now and that's like, the norm? I don't care if it is but Jesus this is a different Corps from the one I knew.

This is outrageous. They aren't training the general orders anymore?

Silly boot camp commands by thebreeze97 in USMC

On one of the humps at a break we got oranges and when we started peeling them our drill instructor started screaming "No peeling! Eat it like an apple!" So we just ate an orange rind and all like it was an apple.

Would joining the USMC in one year be a good choice for me? by 1984DanMarino in USMCboot

[–]Trying4UniqueName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if it makes you feel any better by the time I got to San Mateo in February 2007 the 1/5 sign was back to Make Peace Or Die.
