Had some shit in my eye when in, and my new Ophthalmologist is asking if I can get him the images of my retina.

I got out December

Or currently? lets hear those stories..?

I see alot of wrong information about the IRR on this sub and wanted to clear some of that up.

1. You are not subject to the UCMJ in the IRR. They can’t drug test you or NJP you for being fat. UCMJ only applies to active and drilling reservists, but pretty sure that includes non obligated reservists.

2. They can’t just hold you pass your EAS date without specific reasons. Legal, pending investigation, court martial, medical, etc, but your command can’t just keep you there because they want to, there has to be specific conditions and there’s a process.

3. You CAN ignore IRR recall orders. This one might be controversial, but from my research, no one in the entirety of OEF and OIF was charged with a crime for ignoring recall orders. It’s a UCMJ thing, which means civilian law enforcement doesn’t have the jurisdiction and military law doesn’t have jurisdiction outside military property. This could change if WW3 happens though.

If anyone has good evidence contrary to this, please provide, but I’m talking court and legal documents, not rumors.

Every MOS has its own way of being done and run. In the Airwing, it was like a 9-5 with chow and pt in between, very predictable.

But once someone told me that being in the infantry is like being in a more lax version of bootcamp. How true is that?

I’ve been out for 18 years, I only recently found out the marines were using the vcog 1-8x with mil reticle and memorizing complicated holds.

My first thought was “why not just use replaceable turrets set for the round and barrel length you’re using?”

Kind of like the elevation knob on the a2 or a4 carrying handle. Set it to 3, do a 36 yard bzo, set it to 2 for 200 yards, 3 for 300, 5 for 500 etc.

Do any of you have a good phone number for a taxi to get off base in Okinawa?

Hear me out.

One of my buddies did a salary conversion to how much we would (technically) make hourly. For me it was around $30/hr (with BAH).

Based on the conversion and blah blah blah.

How much time do you think you’ve made in the marine corps by jerking it?

$30/hr X (cumulative average time spent jerking off per session) X (amount of time jerked during career)= money made tugging

How much have you made?

Doing ITX this year, should I bother bringing warming layers? I know most places it gets cold at night especially deserts, but the forecast is like 100+ degrees every day in June, how cold could it really get at night?

What’s up fellas. Tonight’s the night, the wife mentioned the big D. Divorce.

Went on a whole rant about how she’s unhappy in life and that we’re incompatible and that we should separate.

We have a 2 year old daughter together. Honestly, it kind of came unexpectedly.

Neither of us is mad at each other or hate each other. No hard feelings. I don’t really know what to do. Like what are the first steps I should take? What do I do now? I’m kind of lost. (She hasn’t left yet, she has no where to go other than here)

Arguably the best SNCO I've ever had

Just found out he's still in. Dude started out as a tanker in 1991 and is currently SgtMaj for II MEF. He's been in longer than most active duty Marines have been alive, and he's been II MEF SgtMaj for longer than most Marines have been active.

I want to lat move into MSG and i have a tattoo on my inner bicep. It just says "in god we trust" I was wondering if anyone had any insight on if this would affect my ability during the screening. I heard they are pretty up tight on tattoos and about half of it shows with rolled sleeves.

So I’m a cpl and I’ve noticed the difference between officers and enlisted in terms of fitness is scary different. I workout 6 days a week, run 5 days a week, eat decent and I’m scraping by with a 20-22min 3mile but how the fuck are they so fast, especially the infantry officers. I need answers, what do y’all do?

Some Marines are saying that I could rate the GWOT Expeditionary just because I was an MSG in Ankara, Turkey from 20220624 - 20230806 Is that true?

I was at MCAS Miramar during this time and this was a MARADMIN that came out almost 5 years ago. Is this an award that I qualify for? Or is it for a specific section of MCAS Miramar? Also is it weird that I would put in a EPAR for this so long ago?

I’m 13 months out from my 20 year mark and I’d say im 90% mind made up on retiring. I have TRS scheduled and prepping for it as I work on some other deals with my monitor.

Looking for any input on lessons learned and what I should be thinking about from those that have retired.

Also, can answer any questions in general with regards to military service and so on.

1302 Prior enlisted to mustang

I am currently active duty E-4 with 3381 (Food Service) and planning to reenlist as AR (Active Reserve) and lat move to Supply that they offer a $10k bonus.

My only concern is the cutting scores for the new MOS is that they release it like 2-3 times a year if I need it to pick up Sgt if I get approved with my new MOS.

I'm PME complete and did the NCO course with my current MOS to be eligible to pick up SNCO.

Will it be worth it if I lat move? Any feedback will be appreciated!

The dumbest Lance is to Smart to Prove Me Wrong

because YOU have NOT TauGht hIm

GUNS UP!!!

TOW ON THE WIRE?

Why’s your question?

Evening gents, happy friday. As of tonight, i am 6 points off the cutoff score for to pick up Corporal. What are some of the easiest marinenet courses i can do. Proctor or not is fine. Thanks <3

I’m out now, but i vaguely remember at boot camp back in 2020 seeing captains walking around mcrd San Diego but they didn’t look like they were part of boot camp. Were these guys just like observers?

I don’t see how 3D printing isn’t the future. With we can make gear specifically designed for each Marine, make tools and parts, and even office supplies

With it we would have more than enough money in the budget to bring Snipers back.

I miss literally everything, even the fuck fuck games because I see things differently now as someone who has been out a long time. Civilian life is nothing but fuck fuck games.
