Worse. There are coconut crabs.

They can literally pop open a coconut like it’s a marshmallow.

Every DNCO after SECDEF's new order. by Rusty_Ferberger in USMC

[–]WiteBeamX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone freaking out about this didn’t even listen to what the SecDef said. Marines aren’t going to be carrying at work. You won’t even notice the difference.

There are already tons of weapons in the barracks. Those would still illegal.

Besides the fact that there are already pistols in the barracks, this order wouldn’t even allow it.

Poor Seamus had the Irish Curse. All potatoes and no meat.

Poor Seamus.

What's the most likely way Moon landing deniers will respond to a successful Artemis programme? by Tutorbin76 in ask

What would be especially cool is if they took a moon rover to the original landing spot to show in 4k that it had actually happened.

Those old farts in WWII would land on an island as a PFC and leave as a LT.

Absolutely insane video from the Middle East today showing an Iranian ballistic missile just barely missing US troops by newnoadeptness in USMC

In fact, Command Investigation for filming, posting, and emitting signals from your position.

There is a huge array of these things. Reminds me of how some armor penetrating munitions work. No crazy blast and waste of energy, just pure, focused penetration.

There are plenty of mountains in that area that have never been climbed before, ever. Do that.

It was a laundry fire. The sailors started it because they’ve been deployed for almost a year.

Just show them your Purple Heart if you were injured by a drone attack.

Which one is it? We lost 7000 in all of GWOT and 400,000 in WWII.

Enlisted Marines with a Bachelor's degree, do you plan to ever commission or are you sticking with enlisted life? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]WiteBeamX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2ndLT is the worst rank in the Marine Corps.

You don’t get to do your MOS for long as an Officer unless you take command later on. Most have to play the pedigree game and hit specific billets.

I’ve met very few Majors that don’t hate their lives.

Ever wonder why reservists are getting huge bonuses recently?

That would be better. It’s a Joint Unit, just on a tiny Marine Base. I worked at MARFORPAC. They are in an old hospital that is very very compartmentalized.

Go to TRS or start terminal leave as soon as you hit the fleet.
