    Default The Marines are getting a live one

    And now, a more lighthearted story about the military. I had a young man in my office this morning who wanted to join the Marines. So I helped him go through the process and hooked him up with a recruiter. I shall add that he is one of the laziest kids I have ever met. Limited moral character. I would never turn my back on him. One of his ex-girlfriends said his mom still cleans his room, makes his bed and does his laundry. He thanks her by being snide and ill-mannered. His teachers are treated the same way. I can only wonder how he is going to survive basic training.

    From the sounds of it he will not get past week 2.

    Marines will not accept a cretin like that. USCG will not either.
    He could try three other branches but I doubt a military future unless
    he grows up.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    This is what I am hoping. That he will decide to accept the challenge and actually grow a pair. Though I would not want to be present if he tries his line of sass on a DI.

    But he will! The Army is an excellent school for every boy to become a Man.

    I'm a United States Marine. You asked for it, Bring your shit. There ain't a fucking thing nice about me. You want to play? Come get some.

    I beg to differ. I'm a Marine. Want to push a red button? found one. WE are a family. You pick on on a Marine? You're picking on me. I'll light your ass right the fuck up. Haven't you made enough enemies? Back the fuck off. Get off your Marine Corps kick or you'll get a war you won't believe. You will NOT disrespect my brothers and sisters. I will tear your ass in half. You're nowhere good enough to take me on. You're a weak, mouthy little bitch That don't know shit.

    Feel free to come get some. Or you can go hide like balu and the Irish fuckup.

    Get the fuck off my GD-d boat.

    Gunny, this thread is about someone who hasn't even joined the Marines yet. Perhaps you should read it before commenting.

    I read it. Also read your Marine-bashing thread. I'm the only Marine on this board and you're on hallowed ground. I'd suggest you tuck that tongue back into your suck and tread lightly.

    So tell me, with all your wisdom and bullsh*t, why do you need two threads? If someone wants to join the Corps who are you to comment? People join the Corps to prove something. Or get away. But you won't listen to that advice anymore than you listen to anyone else.

    Tell him to bring along a good toothbrush. The ones at MCRD suck.

    Gunny, I take your advice more than you suspect. I know that only the finest and fittest men make it as Marines. This young adult (just turned 18) has never made his own bed or picked up after himself. He wanted to enlist because he thinks being a Marine would be "cool." I figured joining would either turn him into a man or teach him a good lesson, so I encouraged him to do so. I made this thread because I was wondering what his chances were of actually becoming a Marine.

    Answer ... he'll either learn to or get a bus ticket home. You know how many times I wanted to quit? You're a Marine in your head.

    Gunny, I read the thread as Gabby just saying this guy has a long way to go to make it in the USMC. I think she is actually expressing great respect for our Marines. And by extension, for you.

    Gabby doesn't bother me. Abs. She just needs to keep stuff in one thread. My answer was honest. To be a Marine, you have to want to be a Marine. He'll learn how play "make the rack" in a day. I don't know the person. I know when I was a hat I got the most retards in the US in my platoons. Usually. the heavy is going off while the other two hats are in the duty hut laughing their asses off at some of the dumb shit recruits do.

    It's just a game. When you go in to play it, you best come to play.
