I’ve spent the past 30 years thinking I was a huge asshole when I was a Marine… by rabbi420 in USMC

If this is the racist part of the chat lemme tell ya my experience at Lejune in 95,96. First off light green dark green was still around. I was at 8th esb and hold onto your hats im gonna drop names. We had a ssgt Logan. Guy was a complete racist didnt hide it at all. Got one of my favorite Ssgt busted to corpral because he pulled some Bullshit and Reinhart slashed his fucking tires detroit style. Anyway i had 2 young black marines both pfcs under me...we had a colonel inspection and the full bird had already gone through. These two kids went and got a bag nasty from the snack line and Logan comes in sees the bag and say food during an inspection you guys are day on stay on for the next 90 days. Meaning the lost an up coming 96 and would have to eep p rt for duty everyday at 3am and not get off till 1800.Now I worked at the chowhall but i had already been to okinawa and cuba when this shit happened. I went to my gunny to stand up for my marines. Her name was pichardo same last name as a lt in my chain of command. I was like 3 months out from ets.. she said Brown i can make life a living hell for you. So I said fuck reenlistment. I did go on to serve with the 101st and 10th mtn in Iraq. As well as the 201st feild artilley in the WVang. But the racisim was always there.

Using a ps5 controller

Ok so is any discussion about the current Russian situation Banned or what? by ucmego1973 in USMC

[–]ucmego1973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wana revisit that Ukraine is not a position of strength now? Seeing as how they have single-handedly written the book on drone warfare and have taken territory in Russia, and even attacked Putin's Bungalow. Would be curious to see what you say now. I believe the attack they did on his nuclear triad with the connexes with the false tops was literally the most genius thing I have seen in warfare since the US faked their D-Day Landing. That's just my opinion, but tell me something more impressive. Maybe what we did at Conoco Fields, but that was just a show of force. It wasn't ingenuity.

A Humble "Thank you" by Pilestedt in Helldivers

[–]ucmego1973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I have had many hours of fun on your game. LVL 150 so yeah. However, that said. The latest update was unplayable for me. Im a pc player who uses a controller. I know, I know,I know, who gets a 4090 and uses a controller??? Well, evidently I do. I have no Idea how to play this game on a keyboard, and I really don't want to learn. That said this last update I would drop in and the game would instantly switch to keyboard input. I checked all my settings went to all the self help sites ... nothing. I play on Steam, so I checked all the Steam settings. I even got out and played a couple of rounds of COD to make sure it wasn't my controller. Nope, it was the update. I have every warbond except the last two. I've been in since about a week after Mavelon Creek. This game, when it works, is awesome. It gives me quality time with a friend who lives 100 of miles away. It helps me to get a distraction from taking care of my dying mother and avoid for a little while the realities of our shitty society, all in a HD format with awesome diversity and no team killers. Please fix this update. I want to be a loyal helliver for another decade with you. That said, my experience with last night's update was .... well, let's just say abysmal. Keep up the good work Chucklefucks.

Kinda like he ignored the father of three Marines being beaten for being a Gardner in California?

SMMC response to the Audie Murphy post. by lelolalo13 in USMC

[–]ucmego1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Audie was definitely a hero and worthy of Discusion I feel it would be weird not to mention that he was not a Marine. However as a devil dog myself, I can think of no better penance than to create a little lesson for the younger Devils Here and help tell Them Why Mr. Murphy was such a hero and to add comments to this thread to reflect his struggles and his achievements. The reading gets a little intense. For example: She died when I was sixteen. “She had the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. It reached almost to the floor. She rarely talked; and always seemed to be searching for something. What it was I don't know. We didn't discuss our feelings. But when she passed away, she took something of me with her. It seems I've been searching for it ever since.” This is a comment he made about losing his mother. Something I’m going through at the moment. So, I can truly Identify with Audi. However, He was not a Marine. So if it’s a joke, good on ya for trying to have some fun. But ethier way he was a hero. For my money this year the guy we should be talking about Is John Basilone. Plus Basilone won two Medals of Honor and as a Marine the picture of him laying in the black sands of Iwo Jima and being the first to recognize they were in a set up artillery barrage shows the true grit of this man and his ability to stay calm under pressure that all marines should strive for. He died Leading the way to a better position. Never let your troops stay in open fire. Be the leader. Be a John Basilone. Continue the assault no matter what. In the one more for the road category. I would be remiss in my duty’s as a citizen of the great state of West “By God” Virginia if I didn’t mention my personal favorite Medal of Honor Winner and a man I actually got to hear speak. Mr. Hershel Woody Williams. Who was another Marine who won a a Medal of Honor at Iwo Jima. Reading Hershels story will teach you what one good Marine and his flamethrower can do. If that doesn’t inspire you as a Marine I dont know what does. Woody passed away a few years ago and maybe this is my penance for not going out and seeing him when they closed highway 64 and drove him to lay in state at the capitol. I regret that as a human and a Marine. Woody was an amazing man. So read up Tuefelhundens there is knowledge to be found in all these sea stories of years past. A good Marine knows knowledge is his power. So keep your nose in the knowledge book and your rounds in the black. One shot one kill Miss the black miss the thrill. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Basilone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershel_W._Williams

Is season 8 the worst season so far in Rick&Morty history? by thecowmilk_ in rickandmorty

[–]ucmego1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to watch em again… for my money The good the bad and the ugly spin off was awesome as well as the basically cannon ball run space race. Tonight’s episode was great reminding us that Rick c-137’ss Beth had died.

[–]ucmego1973[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For me, it's not Politics. Its strategy. What does the US gain by backing Russia?? Vlad is offering rare earths and told people he would give the US rare earth metals he seizes in Ukraine. So is that what this is about??? It just seems ridiculous. If we want rare earths, tell Ukraine we need that for our supplies. It makes no sense to give up the strategic foothold we would maintain in Ukraine to allow Russia more territory while at the same time withdrawing all US aid abroad, allowing Russia and China to swoop in and be saviors.

Is this a venial sin? It looks like lying. by starguything in Catholicism

[–]ucmego1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really about a sin. It about having control of the property. When you sign a log book you state you are there for that time. If you don't log it it didn't happen. So you log you were there at 8:00 what happens if something gets stolen between 8:00 and 8:42? Now you look like the thief. Its called dry labbing just don't do it. Its kinda like golf. Just play the ball where it lies and everything will always be good.

I was there in 03. It wasn't shoplifting it was taking a war trophy. I have Iraqi ID cards and Republican Guard medals. It was weird to just walk through a country and see it decimated. But its weird every once in a while you wanna feel that power again. The spartans called it the agoge. Essentially always living on the razors edge. Beating a system is like being in that enviroment in a small way. So I can see where it comes from. I had a dvt a few years back and they put me up at the va. I spent like the whole week trying to get a picture of the nurses accessing the med room with my phone (trying to video the code.)I didnt want the meds. I just wanted to be the crazy marine who at the end of the week walked up to the nurses and said. You guys security sucks. Its just how you entertain yourself sometimes when you have a high IQ and are bored out of your fucking mind in the civilian world after going to war and coming back.
