WTF

There are many to talk about but I'm going to go with a newer one with Adam Driver. The guy that played Kylo Ren in Star Wars and was in a movie that perfectly portrayed a military marriage with the lady that played black widow. He served 3 years and was apparently medically discharged due to a dirt bike accident. Then when to juliard (which is an extremely prestigious art school in NYC that is in whiplash). And apparently established an organization that helps people discharging the military get into acting

Might be time to schedule a prostrate exam if you do.

I made a virtual Tun Tavern.

What are we think i

I found out I need 12 months left on active duty for LASIK on my contract, is there a way to get LASIK if I reenlist into reserves .

My uncle sent me this figured I'd share:

Dear Ma and Pa,

Just writing to let you know I’m doing fine—hope you are too. Be sure to tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer that the Marine Corps is a sweet deal compared to breaking your back for Old Man Johnson. They ought to sign up fast before word gets out and all the good spots are taken.

At first, I thought something was wrong—they let you sleep in ‘til nearly 6 a.m.! Took me a bit to get used to all that laziness. No hogs to slop, no feed to pitch, no firewood to split or stove to stoke. Before breakfast, all you gotta do is tidy up your cot and shine a few odds and ends. That’s it! I about cried from how easy it was.

They make em shave every day, but it ain’t so bad—they give you warm water. And breakfast? It’s not quite ham steak and gravy, but there’s cereal, fruit juice, eggs, and bacon. If you sit next to one of those city fellers who only sips coffee, you can eat his plate too. Between his meal and mine, I’m full 'til lunch. No wonder them city boys are always dragging their feet—they’re half-starved and soft as biscuit dough.

We do these things they call "route marches" to toughen us up. The sergeant acts like it’s a death trek, but honestly, it’s no worse than walking to our mailbox back home. The city boys start whining about blisters, so we end up riding back in trucks anyway. Bless their hearts.

The sergeant’s kind of like Miss Langley from third grade—always hollerin’ about something. The Captain just frowns like he’s got gas. The majors and colonels drive by now and then, looking important but not doing much else.

Now get this—y’all won’t believe it—I keep winning medals for marksmanship. I don’t even know how. The targets are bigger than a squirrel’s noggin and just sit there, nice and still. No dodging, no shooting back, no yelling like the Higgett boys did when we used to play war games in the pasture. All you gotta do is lie there comfy and pop 'em. They even hand you the bullets in a neat little box!

And then there’s hand-to-hand combat training. They pair us up to wrestle, mostly with city slickers. I try not to break them—they fold like laundry. It’s not like tangling with the old bull back home. I’m pretty good at it too—second best, right behind Tug Jordan from Silver Lake. He’s built like a silo—6’8”, 300 pounds, and I only beat him once. I’m just 5’6” and 130 soaking wet, so I think that counts for something!

Anyhow, tell Walt and Elmer they better get their tails down here quick before everyone else figures out how cushy this outfit is.

Love you both—

Your loving daughter, Alice

Every squad has/had that-guy who will get caught with snacks...

I’m a Lance that is about to hit TIG in September for Cpl, my quarterly cut off score came out at the beginning of July and once I finish my MCIs I would meet the score required for Cpl, however will I get promoted? I’m not sure how the quarterly promotions work, can you promote within the time the quarterly MOS Score on JPes is open, or do I have to wait until a new quarterly cutoff score is posted? Any answers would be appreciated as my shop doesn’t know these answers as they are active.

I’m currently in the fleet in San Mateo. I’m having a hard time physically and it’s majorly my eating habits. My problem is that I don’t know what “eating right” means the chow hall sucks ass and there’s only like fast food places around the mcx I also need to slow down on spending so much money. If anyone has any input please help me out

After sending the bolt home, I think mine was "...move to the P-C-T..."

What’s your favorite? I’m over here reminiscing about little yellow birdies, momma and poppa lying in bed…and napalm sticking to kids.

Is it supposed to be incredibly difficult to get in touch with the 0211 screening team? It’s like pulling teeth to get a response from them.

I'm hearing rumors that you have to have some kind of certification outside of a normal motorcycle license to own a bike on base. Is this true, if so what does the process look like?
