"You were with 2 Filipino women last night...and a man..." "You mean 3 Filipino women right??" "..." "oh no...OH GOD NO!"

They were doing it routinely at the checkpoints along the MSR surrounding Fallujah.

Prepare for sleep deprivation in the field the way we prepare for it in the fleet. Stay up until 0100 getting trashed in the barracks, pass out on the floor. Wake up at 0520, run to the parade deck, commence PT at 0530. Stay at work until 1730 or so.

B-Billets are just secondary jobs within the Marine Corps. I only know of 4 actual "Special Duties." Drill Instructor, Recruiter, Marine Security Guard, and SOI Instructor. MSG is a pretty good one, you go live in a country for a year or so at a time (right now they are doing 3 12-month...

Marine Security Guard (MSG, aka "Embassy Protection") is a B-Billet. The MOS # is 8151 if you want to look it up. If you have any questions, send em downrange, I just got back from MSG mid-May.

Sort of like hating law enforcement, but supporting the Police...

The 4790 specifically forbids pilots from having dirty flightsuits :)

Why plan so early on making a career of it? Do it until you stop liking it.

A Marine here at MECEP Prep is reading it, he said it was pretty good. A little dry at first, but he said it picked up after a bit. I think that is the same author who wrote the biography of John Adams I have sitting in my trunk waiting for me to get some time so I can read it. I heard...

What are my chances of getting into Bulldog next year?

Almost all Marines are wearing riggers belts with their utilities now.

Mouthwash is good at cleaning out canteens. You can probably leave the bleach at home and use listerine to rinse out the canteen.

If my arm was broken and in a sling, I wouldn't salute at all. I would stand at attention and render the proper greeting of the day (Watsup man?). -- BTW, the left handed salute is weird...but what is up with portholes there and the 90 degree angle of bank in his wrist? sloppy.

Thanks Sir, It feels pretty good to be back, but I miss all the non-fat girls located in Eastern Europe as well :) Anyway, all the stuff I "missed" while I was gone (Taco Bell?) I came home and decided that it wasn't good for me anyway, so for the most part, except for work, and not living...

I just got back stateside from 20 months in Vilnius. If you like cheap beer and ridiculously hot women, Eastern Europe is for you. People loved America there too.

Haha, I am at MCRDSD right now. After every PT run, I like standing in the parking lot watching drill on the grinder. That is some motivating stuff. I think if the recruits could see this stack of books I am walking around base with, they would be laughing at me, not the other way around...

Hmm...I was just making a comparison of the three primarily issued rifles in the 20th century: M1 Garand used in WWII, the M-14, and the M16A2(A4). Not counting the M16/A1 of course, which we can probably all agree wouldn't be on top of the list. Actually, I too must plead ignorance (no...

The M16A4 is lightweight, versatile, accurate, easily maintained rifle It has a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps and a max effective range of 800 meters against an area target. It has a cyclic rate of 800 rounds per minute. It weighs just 8.7 lbs (w/ 30 round magazine inserted) The m14 is...

I was doing a 6 day split before I broke my finger last fall. M/W/F - Back/Chest - Legs in the Evening T/Th/Sat - Shoulders/Arms W/ lots of cardio mixed in at all different times. After I broke my finger though I had a lot of time to consider where I wanted to go when I healed (as all I...

Wow, why don't you guys just grab a measuring stick, whip em out, and get it over with?

Talking goggles like this? I get biatched at if I DON'T wear mine when we are training or something...

Cool article. Looks like things are coming along. I love the unbiased media though: marked the changing role of U.S. troops as they shift the burden of fighting insurgents onto under-equipped, barely trained Iraqi troops and police. What does it take to be properly equipped? They...

You know, the more I think about it, the more angry I become at the news media. Half the time they are making a HUGE deal out of the number of casualties in an attempt to discredit the war. Yeah, casualties ARE a huge deal, but you aren't honoring their sacrifice if you are just using a...

Yeah, I am hoping for SD. I talked to the AMOI at the school I am going to, and he put me in contact with a Gunny from Newport who told me to expect that, but that he will get the official word to me on Monday. Considering the late notice, and the fact that most of the Marines going are...

I will get it checked out right after prep most likely. I am just hoping it doesn't give me any problems AT prep - apparently the PT there is pretty "motto." :D /offtopic: I just got word that prep may be going at Newport in August vice MCRDSD in June - won't find out until Monday.

A good example of that would be the picture and link posted above. That is not an authorized uniform item.

Naw, I am invincible! :D I was at least hoping this stuff could wait until after mecep prep and OCS before showing up. This bump has me paranoid as hell.

Does anyone have any good info (like that link just posted for shin splints) on knee care as well? I have looked around google and runnersworld and haven't really found anything on just general knee health. A few months ago I *think* I had ITB Syndrome, it went away when I started doing...

This is pretty funny. Should open in your windows media player. USMC Answering Machine

She is wearing the moron, I mean, maroon, beret because she is with an airborne unit. Even though she doesn't have jump wings herself, she still wears it for purposes of uniformity within the unit. That doesn't even make sense...if you did not regret a crime you allegedly...

Good that he is cleared. 1. IMO, we need to stop taking these reporters out in the field like this. I mean, they can go wherever they want, but not with a military escort. We shouldn't be allocating assets for their protection just so they can go out in the field and make us look like crap...

Get a pistol, it is more fun to shoot anyway. From the holster: 3 rounds, 2 seconds. 2 to the chest, 1 to the head/pelvic girdle. :D

They say people fire better at Bootcamp/TBS when they have never fired a rifle before. That way you won't have any learned bad habits to break when the Marksmanship Instructors teach you how to fire the Marine Corps way.

lolz0rs111!!!@ +InfiNity rep points for that link!!!5

How come the ROK gets no restecp? They have the 3rd largest Army in the world, and expend over twice as much as North Korea on their military ($13 million vs. $5.2 million)? Go check out the ROK Marines at your next Team Spirit...

It means your broke ass isn't getting rescued. Go buy a real phone! :D When I was at Yuma SAR we had one of our broke-azz 1972 HH-1N's break down in the chocolate mountains. The crew chief was able to use his cell phone to call in one of our other broke-azz 1973 HH-1N's to come pick them...

My spelling is impeccable. I just don't know how to spell it out for you. Ok...I guess I will try. Lay the blouse out on the deck with the front buttons buttoned and the sleeves out at a natural angle. It should be completely flat. At the end of the sleeve you want to roll, button...

You are correct Todd, rolling good sleeves doesn't come (as others have suggested) with practice, or with time. You need to start practicing voodoo. Heavily. Only then will the mastery of the sleeve be yours. -- Bleh, I started to write out a detailed description of how to do it...but...

pilot

lol, nice.

Gooooooooooooooooose!

They might look at your ability to spell... Edit: Let the official record show that, while user "HueyCobra8151" may have been able to post in a more expedient manner, user "KBayDog" was also going to post in a similar fashion - and should therefore deserve some sort of partial credit. I...

Maybe if we let Kim Jong Il sleep in the Lincoln bedroom, and then have Sandy "Pants" Berger sell him a few of those secret documents he is running around with, we can appease them just long enough for the "next guy," to have to do something about it...

You can get em the same place I got mine...over 6 months before they came out in the States. But you have to speak Russian to get past the title menu :D Edit: Whoops, almost forgot - Bought mine in Eastern Europe, made in Russia, if the hint was too subtle. It's cheap and no frills.

Yeah no kidding. You can have mine... I was a one ribbon Marine for a long azz time...hated putting just the one on more than when I had none before 9/11.

Also, why do mids at the academy rate the Nat'l Defense medal? I'm still tryin to figure that one out. Just to make nrotc guys jealous.

??? Just hang with the boys, right?

Damn you! I was SOOO gonna go there too! That is two posts in one thread I was going to give you positive rep points...so two positives cancel out and become one negative right? -- 12. Drunken "MCMAP" training in bar. (One Mind One Weapon One Barstool) 13. The "stop the stupid drunk...

Yeah, maddox is funny as sheit.
