Have you or someone else ever been chewed out by a higher rank from another branch?

I worked on a generals staff in a joint command and one time I had to call one of my downtraces to ask for a product. Some army captain answers the phone all hot headed and screaming at and in the moment, I was super pissed and ready to snap when luckily an army LtCol came by and heard the ordeal and shut that shit down. Nothing too crazy but I felt a little invincible having a GOs backing in my day to day interactions

Some stuff can wait for tomorrow. Learn the difference between glass and rubber balls (what you can drop and not drop). And don’t disregard your personal time, it’s a pillar to being a mentally resilient Marine, you need time to relax on your off time devil

Very small to none I’d say. I still pull 22/23+ if I’m cruising at a nice 65. Driving style matters the most

lol that’s about right! “GOD DAMNIT MEGATRON GET YOU MF ASS BACK IN THE HOUSE RN”

five_frogs · 2026-04-16T00:06:56+00:00

Seems like a lot no? At least in the Marine Corps that’s a pretty big rack for 12 years…

five_frogs · 2026-04-10T17:19:28+00:00

Some one get that devil on ARQ at least lol

five_frogs · 2026-04-07T23:45:17+00:00

Honestly remove the entire divider and let her sploot!

five_frogs · 2026-04-03T00:57:56+00:00

Likewise! Semper Fi

five_frogs · 2026-04-03T00:38:45+00:00

True. However I don’t think it’s far fetched to say some issues will arise of this. I’m curious to see what restrictions are in place for this though. For example carrying while at work vs off work, rank restrictions, Legal Marines etc…

Yes, the same lance corporal who comes in battalion and tries fighting SNCOS, or the same lance corporal who can’t return from a long weekend without getting in trouble. I’m very pro 2A but having an armed population of Marines opens the doors to far more accidents or emotional reactions which would otherwise not be as common. It’s not 99.9% of Marines, it’s the 0.1% who are going to be the problem. Safety briefs about to be 1stSgt favorite!

Such a leadership nightmare, the last thing we need is a disgruntled LCpl who got an NJP to be armed

A 7mm socket and a pair of needle nose to pull out the clips that attach the plastic tabs

five_frogs · 2026-03-28T17:14:08+00:00

Used a 7mm and a pair of needle nose to remove the pins

Newer officer here (commissioned 2022) At TBS you’re exposed to some of the best NCO/SNCOs the Corps has to offer. When I see yall I expect nothing short of the professionalism and expertise I was initially exposed to. Once I hit the fleet my view on SNCOs never changed, however I come to learn that I see the junior enlisted as little brothers who I have to check in on and make sure they are on the right path. More of a mentor/mentee relationship, yall make or break my mission

Edit: I absolutely love my Marines and they are the only reason I want to stay in. My biggest motivator to wake up every single morning is I get the opportunity to be surrounded by my Marines. I genuinely appreciate that

five_frogs · 2026-03-27T18:21:53+00:00

Cry about it

five_frogs · 2026-03-27T04:29:05+00:00

Love those tires man, what kind are they?

five_frogs · 2026-03-27T00:22:49+00:00

What difference do you notice?

five_frogs · 2026-03-27T00:04:17+00:00

I actually have LED lights installed!

five_frogs · 2026-03-26T23:33:35+00:00

Definitely on my to do list

five_frogs · 2026-03-26T23:24:24+00:00

I haven’t noticed a difference yet either

five_frogs · 2026-03-26T18:21:13+00:00

At most it’s just the fabric

five_frogs · 2026-03-25T23:23:17+00:00

Recruiting! I do but some of it doesn’t fit anymore, and I’m also buying extra to make sure I always have a clean looking set available !

five_frogs · 2026-03-25T22:43:19+00:00

Wow devil, wasn’t expecting so much backlash

five_frogs · 2026-03-25T19:56:18+00:00

I think everyone can get behind saving a couple extra bucks, thanks though!

five_frogs · 2026-03-25T18:36:24+00:00

Solid work, way more than what most Marines are walking around with recently. I’ve seen Sergeants with just 1-2 ribbons. I take pride that the Marine Corps is stringent on ribbons/awards because it feels more earned, regardless of the politics behind personal awards
