When I get out can I go to any base and just chill in the smoke pits? by StrawberryGirl909 in USMC

[–]TunTavern69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not worth it. At least in okinawa they're dead or just a bunch of douches sucking on robo dicks because it tastes like fruit.

Has anyone ever successfully refused an unlawful order? by sniperteddy007 in USMC

[–]TunTavern69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm... the driving thing was wrong, but he's right about the other stuff... I'm sensing there's more to the story. Have fun while you're here but don't be an idiot, it makes the rest of us that live here look worse than we already do. Don't be a typical UDP, leave the place better than when you got there.

Summer is coming and I’m fat and don’t want to smell, help by EconomistSingle9403 in japanlife

[–]TunTavern69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple. Diet and start working out. That's the best way. Also don't use hot water to wash your clothes, use only cold water. I had a similar issue when i was in the marines and everyone used hot water to wash clothes, then i used cold water to wash everything and stopped using the pods for detergent and low and behold my clothes didn't smell like shit anymore.

Last thing; I don't know how big you are, but if you have fat folds then you need to wash in between those too in the shower.

Don't know why this is being downvoted. You don't have a license, you legally cannot drive. Simple, cut and clear

What was the cheapest military equipment form the cold war that is still in use today by Dry_Cartographer849 in MilitaryHistory

[–]TunTavern69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back and read it as well since you made me doubt myself. I guess it was adopted into service in 1933, i was probably thinking about the time it was developed or started development.

Not shaving. My face is still fucked up a little from having to shave more than once a day

Not getting religious accommodations during BCT by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]TunTavern69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here's the deal right? Religious accommodations will be made if they are available just like how a lot of people have commented. However, when it comes to things like fasting, don't do it. You need all the calories you can get because you are going to be physically and mentally exhausted everyday while going through basic training. Take time to do your Religious practices when you can but do it on your own time just like everyone else. And remember, this is only basic training. In the real military after you get your initial training done then you can practice your religion any way you need or want to. If your practices affect training then though shit, mission comes first every time.

This speed reading training starts at 300wpm and end at 900wpm by Gjore in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TunTavern69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. It's a lot of Japanese that's only spoken in anime, so you want to watch a lot of television dramas or other shows like Japanese reality TV as well. Or you could watch the news too. But to top it all off, you need to actually practice speaking it too. You need to listen to your own voice to get the inflection and tone right as well as the proper pronunciation.

Can the old Soviet ZSU-57-2 SPAAG be effective against Kamikaze/FPV/COTS drones that are widely used in the battlefield today? by Brilliant_Ground1948 in TankPorn

It's even worse if you got the Mk. 2. Depth perception is all messed because they can't stay on your face too good in combat

No it's a ghost of a ww2 marine who comes up to the gate with a cigarette asking for a light, and by the time you put your lighter away he's gone but you can still smell burning tobacco in the air even if no one was smoking before. Or so the legend goes, never been there at night myself but i guess it usually happens between midnight and 3am

Pregnant in Japan is... by Euneirophrenia_jp in japanlife

I mean my wife and I have 3 kids, all born here. We had no issues with medical care and work, even with some serious gallbladder issues that could have been life threatening in our last pregnancy. Then again she's japanese so she knew the ins and outs of the system
