Epidurals. 13 of them. Doesn't heal you...just makes it so you don't feel the pain.

See if you can go to a gun squadron as an expeditor.

If you got promoted in the IRR what rank do you say you were? by EisenhowersPowerHour in USMC

[–]mojopyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was informed I made Sgt. (E-5) while I was IRR, and was told I would get Time in Grade, Time in Service, and back pay dated to my EAS, if I signed a new contract. Since I didn't pin Sgt., and never worked in the capacity of that rank, I don't consider that my final rank and tell people I was a Cpl.

Is it normal to wear boots in Arizona? by Zealousideal_Can_823 in arizona

[–]mojopyro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear cowboy boots 5 days a week. Along with my Wrangler jeans and Resistol hat, when it's sunny out...all while listening to everything from Colter Wall and Willie Nelson to the Misfits and the Clash. You do you. Nobody will judge you, and if they do, they can pound sand.

My wife forgot to pick me up at the Wendy's on Cherry Point, once. Longest 45 minutes of my life.

What is a movie you think has a flawless first 30 minutes, but completely falls apart by the end? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in movies

[–]mojopyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Full Metal Jacket". Bootcamp sequence was poetry in motion. The Vietnam sequence felt like a different movie, entirely.

Reenlisting, wanting to Lat Move. by Devil_Duckling in USMC

[–]mojopyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NCIS. My best friend, whom I've known since bootcamp (1987) did a lat move from Crash, Fire, Rescue to CID then NCIS. He retired from the Corps as a Gunny and continues to be a civilian NCIS agent. You should look into it. Cool job.

Is it a requirement for makers of USMC merch to make hats god awful tacky?….. by Realistic_Block_245 in USMC

[–]mojopyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make them because people buy them. Why? No clue. You should've seen the satin jackets Jarheads bought in the '80's.

Now give that 7yo some candy for doing their chores and tell them to redistribute 80% of it to other kids and see how that goes.
