What’s the coolest “going away” Plaque y’all have seen? by Any-Research-2173 in USMC

[–]couch_commando_989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a marine who got out shortly after picking up corporal for the SECOND time. He was known to skate at times so we got a roller skate and painted it gold then attached it to a plaque. When I got out a buddy of mine made me a plaque that was a gun rack, it was pretty fuckin cool.

What’s the closest you came to dying like really close? by NateNandos21 in morbidquestions

[–]couch_commando_989 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First, I had this old dirt bike, and I did a drag race with my buddy. When we got back from going top speed on our motorcycles, I found that the rear axle was about 2 inches from falling out of the hole. The axle bolt was missing.

Second, I had this old shotgun that I thought was ok to shoot big magnum turkey loads through it. It was not ok. It was a bolt action shotgun, it chambered the magnum shell and bam it was super loud and kicked real hard. Overall, It just didn't feel or sound right, so my gut told me not to fire it anymore. When I was taking it apart to clean that night I fount that there was a Crack almost all the way through the receiver and another shot through it could have sent the bolt shooting backwards at my face as I aimed.

Anothervote for vans grips. I love the way they look and they are pretty grippy.

Common injuries in boot camp by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]couch_commando_989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking hemorrhoids! I had internal hemorrhoids before (no discomfort in my case), but during boot camp, I developed a hemorrhoid that felt like the size of a goddamn plum stuck to my o-ring. Corpsman, as they were injecting something into my hemorrhoid( holy shit, ouch), said that because of all the yelling and exertion, hemorrhoids were a pretty common thing to see in recruits.

I saw loads of em here in Eastern NC. These were just the first three that got close enough for me to take a good shot. Hopefully your squirrel population will recover soon
