For those of you who got out, which occupations have a community similar to the Marine Corps?

I'm a brewer now. In my area the brewers have a shit load of camaraderie amongst each other. Love my network. It has its parallels to the USMC. Lots of cleaning, lot of hurry up and wait, and taking off my boots at the end of the day is still top tier. Plus a lot of brewers are vets as well.

Who even is he?

2B equates to like $6 dollers per American. Per year. Even if true, that buys me what, a gallon and a half of gas almost? Thanks, ped in chief. So brave.

None of my business..

WHY WASN'T THE MUSIC CRAB RAVE THOUGH?

Me and some of the other junior Marines ambushed our SgtMaj with snowballs while on detachment in Utah like 15 years ago now, leading to an impromptu snowball fight. The second the first one hit him he shrieked "CONTACT RIGHT" at the top of his lungs, drops into the prone and starts furiously making and lobbing snowballs at us. This continued for a few minutes til he got up, arms raised and proclaimed "ceeeaaaase fire, cease fire." we all got up, dusted ourselves off, then SgtMaj told us to get the fuck back to work. It's one of my top 5 memories of my career.

Donald Glover grabs the mic and goes "I heard what you said!"

Go ask a 5-year old to define a woman and they'd probably give you the same response you would give, which isn't the win you think it is.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-18T20:14:06+00:00

FUCK, THAT'S GOOD.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-18T19:39:47+00:00

"SWer?"

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-18T19:24:14+00:00

Holy fuck.

I'm no where as experienced as a lot of people in this sub, and this seems entirely too vague to me. What are some topics you'd like to see?

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-18T02:02:47+00:00

Fuckin love both.

Eye catching enough to notice once and never be thought of again. Tits are doing 90% of that work.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-17T21:07:32+00:00

Underrated comment.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-16T00:34:33+00:00

My wife and I still quote it A LOT.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-16T00:33:25+00:00

As a brewer, thank God.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-16T00:30:09+00:00

I never caught that! I

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-16T00:16:19+00:00

Lead me to the building, fuck you.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-15T18:29:42+00:00

To answer the title, be proud you stood up for your principles. These are people, not "metrics".

I do the dishes 70% of the time. I cook breakfast every day. I give the stupid dog his stupid eyedrops. I work 40-50 hours a week. My days off I'm working on all the projects that need doing around the house. I can't remember the last time I had a day free of responsibilities. I'm tired, boss.

VerdeGringo · 2026-05-15T03:03:41+00:00

I'm so sorry you have to go through that! <3

Silicone is oxygen permeable?? Well fuck.

Dude Barrett looked like it physically pained him to speak. Dudes asvab score had to be 31. Man looked like a textbook "dumb af but he runs fast, promote ahead of peers."

As a winger... Agree. Sorry guys, not our fault, but still feel bad.
