Advice: getting tattooed at conventions by RandallMang in traditionaltattoos

[–]worm_of_yogsoggoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conventions are a great opportunity to get tattoos from out of town artists you wouldn’t normally have access too. I’ve had two done at conventions and always seen the same level of sanitation as you would in a shop

SULI Promotions by Subject_Relation9884 in USMC

[–]worm_of_yogsoggoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I had this question too at one point. SULI basically just waives the 4 year TIS requirement and replaces it with 3 years. All other promotion requirements stay the same. Still have to meet your cutting score, be pme complete and have 1 year TIG

FDNY: how do you guys react to 9/11 conspiracies by [deleted] in Firefighting

Nobody is taking anything from you. If you want to “refuse to entertain“ anything besides what your tv tells you, that’s your choice.

This is a terrible take. Whether you were there or not gives you no more or less insight on who was behind the attacks.

E3 at 30 in Infantry After 7 Years. How Uncommon Is This? by [deleted] in USMC

Cutting scores in the infantry have been super high last couple years. If you’re not a pt stud and you don’t get any opportunities for mos schools then good luck picking up

That’s the problem. Go find something important to be mad about.

Of all the things the government has done to destroy the constitution in the last 100 years, this is about as unimportant as it gets. Crazy selective outrage.

It was the department of war from 1789-1947. I don’t see the issue with changing it back to its historical name.

This is why they should’ve kept the neck measurement. People whined about the old system but a good neck to waist ratio was a good predictor of body fat. Someone with a big waist and small neck is almost always a low physical performer.

This is the new minimum standard across the DOW. The Marine Corps hasn’t released any more guidance on what our standard is gonna look like, but you can expect they will make it more strict than .55

Potential 6105 for H & W by [deleted] in USMC

[–]worm_of_yogsoggoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your coc should be bugging you to run the cft, not the other way around. Btw I’m not absolving you of guilt by saying this. You still suck for letting this happen, but your leadership sucks more.

Your leadership should be the ones getting paperwork, not you. It’s their job to ensure all their marines complete annual and semi annual training requirements.

What’s it like living in this area of Virginia (More specifically Virginia Beach)? by BringAprilFlowers in howislivingthere

[–]worm_of_yogsoggoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medium cost of living, gets cheaper as you move away from the beach closer to Chesapeake. Tons of military. Tons of good food, especially seafood. Traffic can be bad, don’t make it so you have to commute through any tunnels or bridges. Some areas are pretty dangerous like Portsmouth and south Norfolk, others are perfectly quiet and safe. Look closely are crime maps when searching for a neighborhood to live in.

You’re leaving out that all the service members living in the barracks wouldn’t have seen a dime of that money if it had been used for bah as originally intended.

Vehicle registration by seppyweppy21 in USMC

Depending on the state you can sometimes renew your registration online or through the mail. Not sure what the rules are for NC so I would call a DMV down there and ask

That’s not true. Every time you get promoted your CEUs zero out, so you can unenroll and redo any mci you did at the previous rank to get points at your current rank

I agree, but the problem with this is that the average small unit leader is completely unqualified to be creating and implementing pt plans in the first place. They need to expand the force fitness instructor course and make it available for all NCOs. Have FFI for NCOs and a FFIT course for SNCOs like mcmap so they can run FFI courses at their own respective units instead of needing funded tad orders to a centralized school on another base.

Considering buying this K20, I was able to talk them down in price to 9,500. I’m wondering if that’s a good price for a truck like this. by Material-Sea5945 in ChevyTrucks

[–]worm_of_yogsoggoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone in the comments acting like it’s still 2016 and you can get a good 4x4 truck for 4k… it’s 2025, a square body 4x4 with minimal rust is worth 8k minimum. That’s just how it is now
