AFN presents The Geo-Bachelor

Anticipate spray tans, lower back tats, and a love of Fireball shots

Medal of Dishonor

March 08, 2024

ARMED FORCES NETWORK — Following the commercial successes of The Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and Golden Bachelor, Armed Forces Network is dipping its feet into the reality television market with The Geo-Bachelor. Camera crews followed married Army Captain Steven Sharpe at his Captain’s Career Course where women competed for his affections in hopes of ultimately becoming his TDY-wife. 

“With my wife and two children back home in Fort Carson, my bed was growing extremely cold at night. The twenty women I met were a mixture of bartenders, nurse technicians, and even other women in my course. It was a hard-fought competition, so you’ll just have to watch and see who the lucky lady is at the end of it all,” said Sharpe. “Throughout the season, viewers will see women compete in various competitions such as ‘Who Can Shotgun a Busch Lite the Fastest?’, ‘Twerk-a-thon’, and ‘Tell Me About Your Daddy Issues’. It’s an epic romance told over twelve episodes.”

Without the incentive of dual income, health care, or assured housing, Sharpe found other ways to woo the women of Enterprise and Dothan, Alabama; showering them with Applebee’s Dollar-itas, pay-per-view movies in his temporary housing, and rental pontoon boat rides at the local lake. And at the end of his TDY, he gave the winning woman the promise that he will see her again when he returns for a staff assignment, with the caveat that her body must not age while he is away.*** https://www.duffelblog.com/p/afn-presents-the-geo-bachelor

About the time I went to MCLB Agony, multiple people told me the story was that if you go there married, you'll leave single; if you go there single, you'll leave married.

Of course, it's due to my assignment there that I'm familiar with navigating Dothan and Enterprise.

Recovered a Hard Drive need help finding owner

Hey Marines,

I'm looking to see if you can help me. I'm a SSgt in the Air Force. On one of my deployments I've discovered a hard drive left behind by one of yours. On it are pictures and memories I'm sure this Marine would want back. I have a name, on some documents that are on the drive but I figure a picture may do better. So check these out, just some examples of what's on there.

The drive itself is pretty much caput I had to basically rescue the items off of it. But if you know the Marine there or know someone that can get in touch please let me know. I want to get the pictures to them at least.

TikTok

So anyone remember when we all had to sign that Page 11 about social media. Fast forward a few years and here we are. Daily Marines are live on TikTok in uniform, during working hours and even while on duty. I retired a couple a years ago 2022. Things are that chill now? This is not just junior Marines, also SNCO’s and Officers. Let me know what y’all think 🤔 Rah!

Where In the uniform order does it say I can’t have cut rolled sleeves?

Hey y’all! So I have a woodland blouse that are rolled and sewn. I’ve been had this blouse for a year now and no one has ever said anything to me but I’m curious to know if it’s allowed? I went to check the uniform order a little while ago and saw nothing that said I can’t have cut rolled sleeves. Is there anything in the order that I might of missed that states this and where?

Am i deployable??

First off want to apologize for my Grammar, Apparently people take that really serious on this app and if your one of those people srry but I think you'll live....anyway to my question.To give a little back story on me I'm in the marine corps and have been in for 3 years now my last deployment I had a total of 8 deaths in my family with 2 of them happening on my last 2 days before deployment my family struggles with money and bills to pay so I help out alot with the bills and stuff like that.But because of that and me being real big on family I can't help but to help them in any way I possibly can, I myself have dug my self a hole that I'm currently trying to get up out of with talking to navy relief center,I have also been depressed,stressed ,and have really bad anxiety and continue to worry for my family, I also(sadly and shamefully)turn to food and can easily gain weight since then I have lost alot of weight but still don't meet my height and weight and now have been put on bcp.I do not know if it is true but the Ssgt that is in charge of me and put me on BCP said I'm non deployable because I'm not combat ready because of BCP.Is this true or am i being fucked with because I do want to deploy due to the money may be able to help out alot. Ps sorry about the long paragraph.

Crazy Times MP Company, Hqspt Bn, MCB Camp Lejeune, NC

Camp Lejeune early 1996. One of my platoon members went to our beloved Driftwood 😂 Just mention Driftwood and yeah this story gets interesting 😂 So he met a couple of big gals who offered sex for money. If anyone here remembers from Alpha Compiany, Hqspt Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune leave a comment. They took a cab to our barracks and I don't recall what happened but they beat him up and started slapping his privates and he was screaming so loud it woke our half of the barracks including Alpha Company barracks next door 😂 MPs having to respond to our own barracks 😂 I forgot to mention he was a Lance coolie 🤣 Us darn E-3s always getting into trouble 🤣

should i try to go to mct or back to imc? part of me wants to stay in and a part of me wants to get out

currently in legal waiting to get separated. i was in IMC and i chose to quit due to family reasons. i was told here that its possible to go back or go to mct. it’s just that the imc instructors of course are not the nicest people in the world, the training and shootings pretty fun/cool. i just don’t know how the fleet is with the infantry ie if the infantry is even worth it. if i choose to get out it’ll be a general discharge. i do have a plan when i get out but again i idk. just want some insight that’s all. (sorry for the long ass paragraph)
