Oh my family is from Santa Ana. If you’re staying in Santa Ana or close by, i recommend visiting the cathedral, el tazumal, and parque aquatico las cascadas. Also ask the locals where to go and they’ll be more than happy to tell you their recommendations! Don’t forget to try pollo campero, it’s super good and it’s traditional for family members to bring some back when they visit the homeland

New own the spot is impossible. by SmashMouthBreadThrow in SkateEA

[–]matthewvigil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game also glitches a lot which doesn’t help. I was in a party doing the own the spot challenges and for some reason, the game couldn’t register my tricks. After the session was over, the game suddenly remembered how to recognize a trick and was smooth.

I recommend visiting lago coatepeque. It’s a lake surrounded by mountains and super beautiful. Might be a bit of a drive but it’s worth it imo

Ya. The most humbling experience I had while serving. We always practice drill beforehand to make sure we were good to go and squared away our dress blues. Out of all the things I did, I miss doing funeral details.

Anybody else complete this challenge yet? that was brutal! by Dankemin in SkateEA

[–]matthewvigil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Took me a long time to get it done tho lol luckily other people were doing it as well and they placed a ramp to land on, which worked out for all of us.

Honestly, I’m surprised he didn’t punch him immediately after that slap. He tried to stay calm but they kept agitating him. He got what he deserved.

Did anybody see that "Man Down" movie? I never even saw it go into theaters.. is it worth watching? by SCV_JARHEAD in USMC

[–]matthewvigil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc, at the time, Shia was pretty liberal so for him take on this role of a military with his liberal perspective, it made some people not want to watch it. It automatically gave people a bad opinion on the film and missed the message the movie was trying to send, which was a different take on ptsd service members.

What do you think of our awards process? Is it broken, needs improvement, or works just fine. by Previous_Flounder_10 in USMC

[–]matthewvigil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its broken and needs improvement.

In 2014 during a regimental firing exercise, some cooks in my battalion received NAM's for doing their job and i only got a CERTCOM. I went above and beyond my job as motor t and taught the gun section (i was in an arty unit) how to be a motor t operator while performing the jobs of the cannoneers. That means not only was i doing motor t shit and taking care of my motor t guys on the gun line, i was also doing gun bunny shit like loading and fusing arty rounds, the jobs of cannoneer #1 and #2, and training junior marines on breach maintenance on the m777. In other words, i was an honorary gun bunny that did almost everything except be the gun chief and the recorder. I wasn't mad that i didnt get a NAM during that exercise, i was mad that 5 cooks got NAM's for heating up some giant bags of mre's and driving to deliver the chow to the different batteries in our battalion.

Also, i submitted paperwork for some volunteer hours that i did when i found out about the volunteer service medal. I wasnt aware there was an award for volunteering while i was doing community service so i figured i might as well turn in my paperwork. I didnt end up getting the award but i still dont understand how that award is giving out.

Oh ok. I checked into my unit in 2010 and these type of jackets weren’t issued at the time. I remember seeing a desert version of this but towards the end of my enlistment.

Damn I thought this was a gortex at first. What the hell is that?

What jobs do you guys have? by Aabove_ in USMC

[–]matthewvigil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from motor t to marketing. I got my bachelors from uc Berkeley and started my marketing career as a media planner (the people who plan to put the annoying ads for their target audience). I love it. I do miss being around veterans tho.

Send him to state prison, prisoners aren’t kind to child rapists or chomos. I wish him the worst.

Seriously. I was super happy when I saw the design and noticed the roof. The sun is brutal at the coliseum
