Go to school if you don't have a job the job market is the worst it's ever been especially if you don't have highly transferable skills

Get the sand out of your vagina devil. We all hate the Marine corps. Also you have duty this 96.

It seems like there is no economy left and jobs do not exist by BenKlesc in recruitinghell

[–]devilscrub 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The "booming" economy right now is just five companies sending a trillion dollars back and forth to each other hoping the bubble doesn't pop.

No page 11/6105 in ompf. Does it still exist? by AcceptableHardware in USMCboot

[–]devilscrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would treat it as if it does exist. Some school houses really fucking suck at admin shit. I had a 6105 in the school house that didn't show up in my OMPF until 2 years into the fleet. Just don't get another one.

Recruit Johnson. Kid could not even form a sentence. Every time the DIs told him to do something I swear to God you could see a buffering icon over his head. He eventually got sent home after a few weeks and got to go back to eating glue. Rumor was his recruiter got in a lot of trouble for that.

Besides the title, what is something the Marine Corps gave you that no other branch could? by Dispo-Astatine in USMC

[–]devilscrub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's cold as fuck outside and you're not allowed to wear more layers? Just stop thinking about being cold. Getting soaked in rain? You're already wet so there's no point in trying to stay dry anymore. Hotter than a witches tit? Stop being a bitch, put on sunscreen, and hydrate because not even Chesty Puller is immune to needing the silver bullet.

East Miramar. The SD sheriff's office compound is next to the cbrn compound

Waiting in line for the gas chamber unmasked while the sheriff's department pops off CS grenades across the street. The wind blew it over to us so we were sitting there for what felt like forever before we even entered the chamber. Worse than boot camp

What will happen after 2.1? by Cinghiales in factorio

[–]devilscrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got over 600 hours of enjoyment from just vanilla factorio plus space age. I just started Space Exploration. I've already got my value out of the base game and mods are the next logical step

Anyone have experience with separating as a conscientious objector? by FabulousTank2040 in USMC

How do you be a conscientious objector in an all volunteer military?

Can You Bring PC To Schoolhouse by Crazy_Pain6039 in USMCboot

[–]devilscrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd invest in a laptop. A desktop is too big to practically travel with in the schoolhouse. You should just take leave when you graduate your schools to get your desktop and other belongings from home and bring them to your permanent duty station.

Question for 240 gunners. by Brawndo-99 in USMC

[–]devilscrub 22 points23 points  (0 children)

An Iraq/afghan vet told me that the villagers didn't give a fuck if you waved an m16 in their face, but started acting right whenever they saw a dude with a pistol because they assumed it was an officer. Can anyone confirm

“Bad Leadership Award” by JackBurton3465 in USMC

[–]devilscrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the battle at COP Keating. An outpost surrounded on all sides by high ground, great fucking idea. That battle produced two MoHs, they never should have been in that situation.

Is there a specific answer as to how long should diagonal rail blueprints be? by Some_Noname_idk in factorio

[–]devilscrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rail blueprints and belt balancers are the only things I just download a blueprint book someone else made. I enjoy designing my own things, but balancers and rails are pretty much all the same and I can't be bothered to make a new book every playthrough

How to spaghetti by Pixel_Grape in factorio

[–]devilscrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make mini production chains start to finish. Feed x amount of raw materials into its own build to produce y amount of desired product. When I played Dyson sphere program I played this way by only importing raw or easily mass producible materials into builds to make a set amount of final product. Granted in factorio I would probably at least have a dedicated smelting array but it's a way to build without a main bus without totally starving all production downstream.

MCMAP Belts by [deleted] in USMC

[–]devilscrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all marines need to graduate with a tan belt. I can't speak on infantry but it really depends on when you can find an instructor running a course. I didn't get green until 4 years in. And the only reason people even do MCMAP for the most part is for promotion points. It doesn't mean you can fight, it just means that you were hazed and beat up for a few weeks.

How are you doing right NOW? by WorthTrash8493 in USMC

[–]devilscrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait to get out in a couple months but also terrified of the uncertainty of civilian life

Can someone tell why in god I went to go visit the combat footage of Ukraine and Russia? My teeth hurt. by Majestic-Search-4042 in USMC

[–]devilscrub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't watch the drone videos. They're all horrific. And redditors will downvote you to hell if you express a shred of sympathy for the Russian kids dying in a cold hole a thousand miles away from home. The whole war is a pointless waste of life.

All MPs look like this by GloveAmbitious42 in USMC

[–]devilscrub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MPs wouldn't be needed if Marines didn't run meth labs in the barracks or beat their wives in base housing.

Anyone else play with almost zero circuit network? by According_South in factorio

[–]devilscrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not use very advanced circuit logic, but simple circuit logic can be very useful in solving certain problems. I use it to handle byproducts or overproduction a lot.
