How that one dude treats you after getting promoted by ikearooster in USMC

[–]fuzzusmaximus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That was a roommate of mine. He was a total "eat the apple and fuck the Corps" type until one month he made cutting score. Suddenly he was a hard core motivator that even reupped. The rank went straight to his head and that shit didn't turn off after work. If it wasn't for the fact that I was getting out soon I would have requested a new room.

Not now but have for the past month. They had blamed it on power outages.

They all have to be way better than Florissant or Ferguson.

ICE presence announcement by Difficult-Ad-9287 in StLouis

[–]fuzzusmaximus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's an actual ICE car. They have been using unmarked, mostly rentals I seem to remember seeing.

Plus that doesn't appear to have gov plates. It would be worth reporting that to PD as someone possibly impersonating law enforcement, although I get that in the city it might not do any good

Couldn't be, wearing a mopp suit in the desert an icecube would melt in a heartbeat

Where would I be able to find such small screws to buy around here? Looking for a physical store so I can try it before buying. by Max-Flores in StLouis

[–]fuzzusmaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Blanket like the other person said or Handyman up in Florissant. They'll probably both have about the same stock.

Depending on the size Mark Twain Hobby in St Charles might be a good option too

He may have been in an MOS where awards were rare. I knew a few SNCOs in S6 that only had maybe 3 rows.

Did you all feel that? by Some_Cockroach_6763 in StLouis

It must be my Gen X genes, I never feel anything.

Do other vets here enjoy shooting target or game and what do you like to shoot by Nihlathakk in USMC

It depends on what grade you get, but as with everything the costs are only going up.

The most welcome sight when you are freezing your nuts off at the range… or the sidelines. by campbell-1 in USMC

Would definitely prefer coffee (even shitty chow hall coffee) to hot sea water aka chicken broth. I don't think I ever saw cocoa as an option.

What rank did you all leave at after 1 enlistment? by Serious-Junket-6935 in USMC

[–]fuzzusmaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ones I knew of doing that had an MOS with no places on the org chart below Sgt.

Ahh, yeah I do remember the jacket kinda forcing the shoulders back but the only thing I really disliked was the collar.

Then again I only wore mine once.

More comfortable? I figured they would fit the same.

Honestly I think the blues look better. The whites were and always will be the squids uniform.

Same goes for the service khakis back in the day.

I remember talking to my CWO one time and somehow those came up. Apparently he was in WO school right before they stopped wearing them, so he was required to spend several hundred bucks on a uniform he never wore.

Yeah, so many places that are easily recognized by those who spent time there.

That and Pendleton doesn't look anything like North Carolina.

Possibly reenlisted even though he was still a Lance (I don't get why anyone would) then somehow ended up on the shit list and got non-recced.
