why are you so awesome
flox

what do you like to cook?

What's your favourite colour?

what happened to your other arm? did it get eaten by a lion?

hey adam hows life?

Are you proud of being a massive tool?

Why would you sign away some of the best years of your life to fight for a government that considers you completely expendable while being paid the lowest possible wage and with a high chance of being f**ked over and neglected if you're injured or traumatized in combat?

what do you like to cook?

my cooking skills only include microwaving ramen noodles and leftover dominos pizza.

What's your favourite colour?

green

what happened to your other arm? did it get eaten by a lion?

my other arm is fine, just not pictured.

How does it feel to be naval infantry?

Why do most marines who have been to Iraq think they are hardcore war veterans? It's just a playground compared to Vietnam or WWII, they're hardly putting their lives at stake.

yes

because i didn't know what i wanted to do with my life and I hated school. The pay really isnt that bad. The only expenses I have are car insurance and my cable/internet bill. Everything else is completely paid for so I have a lot more disposable income in comparisin to most people.

Have you ever been on a ship, raised a ruckus and get told by the captain that he'll turn this ship around if you guys don't behave?

Why are you not on /k/?

Marine what is your rifle's name?

Do you laugh at the sailors because they're basically Chair Force 2 except they're always painting things?

Why the f**k are you fa**ots still using the M40A1?

Why did you create this thread?

because i was bored

I don't really understand it either. I haven't been to Iraq or afghanistan, but the guys in my unit who have act like a**holes about it and treat us like we are below them, even if they are pieces of sh*t and I outrank them.

Is the military really like f**king Nintendo nowadays and basically fat/self-esteem camp for chubby high school kids?

Why are you not on /k/?

because /k/ are a bunch of idiots who will probably never use their weapons for anything other than shooting paper, but will try to convince you that there views and ideas on combat related things are perfect and if you don't agree with them you are a f**king idiot. There's a few cool guys there who know whats up, but they're mostly drowned out by the mass amounts of crazy gun nuts.

I came back to the ship hammered after a liberty call in Rota, Spain. My buddies looked after me until I sobered up and i didn't get in any trouble.

Do you laugh at the sailors because they're basically Chair Force 2 except they're always painting things?

We laugh at sailors all the time, especially on ship. Corpsmen are cool guys though.

Why the f**k are you fa**ots still using the M40A1?

Because its a solid reliable rifle. I just did a platoon battle course alongside some scout snipers using a barret .50 cal 2 weeks ago. Both are solid weapons IMO.

SO let met get this straight, you'd rather deal with anonymous trolls than /k/ trolls? More bitches n' wh**res and less DEAGLE BRAND BEAGLES?

Well I guess I can respect that. So do you have any good stories or anything of that sort?
And I guess I have to ask if you could serve again but do something else, what would you do?

On a scale of 1-10 how okay is it in the marines?

I got alot of stories from my deployment. We just floated around the mediterranean for months. Stopped in some badass places like Spain, Israel, France, Greece, Italy, and Israel. The prostitutes in Europe aren't like the wh**res we call prostitutes here. They look like Victoria's Secret models. There's legit wh**rehouses that operate inside mansions. Its cheap too. ~60$ for 2-3 hours with a girl, we were in Cyprus and bought these 2 bitches and made them box each other naked, one of them got knocked out pretty bad, then we f**ked both of them. It was an awesome time.
I kinda want to enlist in the air force, just to go through their "boot camp" and see what it's like in comparisin to the Marines.

what did you get on your SAT?
what did you get on your ASVAB?

why are you risking your life for obama's communist america?

i hear spiders in afganistan are so big you can see their health bars. can you confirm?

>he's a machine gun operator
Jesus, how many digits is his IQ to get stuck with a position like this?

he's actually stupidly intelligent (which makes me wonder why the f**k he didnt just take some student loans instead of signing up for the military)
he's a machine gun operator because he's HUGE and can take the thing. He operates one of the big ones, not the small ones. He had no choice in the matter, he wanted a rifle.

S10 > your mask
you can weep now american

i think i need to see your war face, soldier!

Sounds like his girlfriend is just as stupidly intelligent.

Machine guns are actually some pretty complex weapons. Much more than any other small arm in our arsenal.

I wish i would get sent to afghanistan. It's what I joined for, but so far all i've done is go on a booze cruise for 7 months.

Wish i could, like i've said i've never been there.

God I love infantry. They think they are the entire marine corps in the world, yet without people like me doing what we do, they would be nothing.
Anyways, if you had a chance, would you do something else instead of infantry?

And without the infantry you wouldn't have a reason to exist.
To be honest I have no idea what I would do if I wasn't infantry. Probably MP or go to the airforce and be a firefighter. But i would would rather just easr than re-enlist.

If you got a pretty decent score in the SAT's and a high ASVAB score, why the hell did you pick the infantry?

how does it feel to be inferior to recon marines?

Why did you join the Marines when you could've joined the Army and had more options for infantry? i.e. rangers, airborne, air assault, etc.
I mean, you could still do it in the Muhreens, but you'll have to train with the Ahrrmee, just you get inferior equipment. Why, though? Why not just join the army in the first place?
inb4pu**ies

I ask myself that alot honestly. It sucks being a grunt because you are pretty much used as unskilled labor when youre not training and your chain of command will always be f**ked up beyond hope, but at the same time its alot of fun because of the relationships you form with your fellow Marines.
Love Marines, hate the Corps.

is jarhead your favourite movie?

I'll admit, I got suckered by the commercials. I wanted to climb a mountain and slay a dragon and spin rifles on beaches wearing dress blues.

Haha! Enjoy being stuck on a boat while I actually get to be deployed into a combat zone.
Thank god I went Army.

It's not bad, it's more accurate than most movies. I saw it for the first time after i joined though. My favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption.

There are things that I like and hate about both of them, but I definitely prefer civilian life.

I dunno about OP but for me ( Army Infantry) it's somewhat of a love/hate relationship. I absolutely love the bond that I share with my fellow grunts. I'd die for any one of them, even the guys that I don't like personally.
I do hate the bullsh*t that gets handed to you. I know that I've probably spent half of my bonus on equipment that I needed but the Army didn't provide.
Also don't be lured by a signing bonus. They take out 28% for taxes before you finally get it.

Sup Infantry Marine, I'm deciding to become a police officer. What I'm deciding to do is get an associate degree then join the military for 2 years. Now here comes my question what military could I join that won't put me in the battlefield of Iraq or Afghanistan.

pretty much anything Air Force or Navy. Good luck getting a 2 year contract though.

The only marines i know are pu**y security guys. I work on sub base kings bay, all they do is guard nukes and they think they are the baddest mother f**kers in the world.
also f**k the surface fleet op, they are a bunch of bitches. if you want to have a real party go get wasted with a bunch of submariners out of a 9 month underway.

does any body have some good words to share about signals communicators in the army?this was the other trade offered to me, becausee i actually wanted to join the navy full time for sonar or naval combat info operator, but i was told my visual acuity isn't good enough (though i'm planning on persuading them otherwise).
