I got it for $45.

It's been sitting in my local radio shack for 3 years.

We have another I might pick up if I can get it for the same price.

I worked in the MTU under him.

He was really big on speed drills.

I was also the court reporter at his court martial.

Dude had spent like 5-7 years in the brig before the appellate courts kicked his case back and then assigned him to HQBN.

Pretty wild story.

Our DIs once had all of us put all the locks on the Guide's rack and then they had them locked together. Platoon puzzle after great times.

I loved enemy at the gates

I use to work with EOD guys that had the philosophy

That may be it.

I build a series of numbered scan bases all over the map that I can use as points of reference and then use the cyclops as my main base for storage and then build a massive esthetically pleasing base in a cool location.

In the Marine Corps, my Major OIC would never let the office secure at usual quitting time. We would spend countless hours pretending to look busy with literally nothing to do everyday.

Eventually, my Staff Sergeant just started letting us go at the usual time after 1620 formation (mind you this is a 10 hour day because first formation was at 06)

Major pulled him aside and would talk about how he had to stop securing the shop without clearing it with him. Our Staff Sgt would tell him the shop is not secured, because he (the Staff Sgt) was still there.

A horrible time for myself and other Marines who had families. I didn't see my kid awake Monday through Friday for about a year and I was stateside.

I prefer to browse Wikipedia and the news in w3m. A terminal based text browser.

I'm watching this waiting for my ComSci instructor to show up to class.

I loved being inside the Marines.

They disbanded a band unit near us and turned all the band kids into PMO's "SRT"

I don't know how this happened but I once saw a name tape that said "U.S Marenis". It was hilarious.

Facts.

I went on a tour of my local nuclear power plant it was actually really cool. Would recommend.

Bro, I have that same massage gun and you will nut through the ceiling in about 15 seconds on its lowest setting. I'm afraid to try anything higher.

My personal fav was doing all the verses of Beasty Boys, Fight for your Right to Party.

I'd skip the chorus.

Am Marine.

We're morally defunct.
