I made targets, but my platoon never got brought in to do mess duty for some (wonderful) reason

When I went through I got snagged to work the chow hall on the rifle range for a week. The hours were terrible but I used to steal cheesecakes from the freezer and hide in the women's bathroom and jerk off.

Honestly, there wasn't a single point in Boot where I felt the least bit 'randy' , but the cheese cake would have been boss. Making targets was fun though, I just ran around grabbing supplies and bullshitting with the Lcpl's who had nothing better to do and pulling down targets off the range and making fun of lovely shooters with the other guys assigned to do it

I got tasked to help out some admin fucks whenever someone with a heavy collar wanted some meaningless crap done. They locked us in a closet where we slept most of the time. We did some sweeping pavement and dumb poo poo like that, but yup, most of the week was sitting on our asses doing nothing. It was great.

I heard the company in front of ours at MCRD had a DI get reprimanded for making a recruit who had snuck away from cleaning detail to take a poo poo, fish out his own turd from an unflushed toilet, walk it in to the squad bay and smash it up in his palms while telling everyone they were not allowed to poo poo on the DI's time.

I remember being on the 100 series ranges in 29 while the gunner was giving some class on hand grenade use in the assault or something. Unit had been in the field for a few days and a couple of idiots got caught smoking weed the night prior. Rather than send them back, they just took their weapons and planned on dealing with it when everyone left the field.

So it's hot as gently caress and there isn't shade. Everyone is doing the whole sit kneel bend semi school circle thing. They are making the dudes caught blazing stay near the front of the school circle. One of the kids grabs the rifle the guy next to him was leaning on and racks the bolt far enough back to put a round in the chamber. Before anyone could really react he puts that round through the bottom of his jaw out the top of his head.


This dude was very obviously dead but we had to clear an LZ and send the casevac request up. After the bird took off we had to stand around in the hot rear end sun all day while CID came out and asked us all stupid rear end questions. Also we never got to throw grenades at bunkers which was the only part of the day I was looking forward to.

We should just dump the Harrier/F-35B and put catapults and arrestor wires on LHAs for F-18s. Pretty much what Brazil does for their carriers and it seems to work for them

We should loving axe fixed wing poo poo that isn't the C-130 and just use more helicopters. There's literally no point in owning an F-18 fleet if you have to be based on land or navy poo poo.

The only real reason for F/A-18s is faster CAS availability and protecting the MEU in transit if there's ever a poo poo situation that occurs without a full CAW able to escort. The first being way more likely, since the second requires a WW3 scenario to be the least bit viable.

Honestly, there shouldn't be a single legacy Hornet in inventory anyhow, considering how much better the E/F/G models are and what maintenance queens the old 18s have become.

If there's a carrier around, there will be a CVW available, there's not gonna be much higher of a priority than protecting the ESG with a couple thousand Marines embarked (once they get to shore, that's a different story :v:).

If there's not a carrier...good luck employing any kind of Hornet, USMC or otherwise.

Also thank your idiot leadership (looking at Amos here) for why you don't have Super Bugs and are still tooling around with those old decrepit legacy Hornets. They had the opportunity to procure Super Bugs but did the standard USMC Aviation temper tantrum of stomping their feet and refusing anything but F-35Bs. I'm pretty sure that there's a quote from a relatively senior USMC Aviation officer that verbatim says they would rather have second hand F/A-18Cs from the Navy to replace your Hornets that are hitting the literal end of their airframe life as opposed to getting new build SHs.

Because that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure every platoon had a guy poo poo his pants in the first two weeks. Our pants-shitter thought he was going to be a reservist tank mechanic who didn't realize he signed up for active duty as a regular motorpool

Some dude poo poo himself the first night of receiving. I was awake in my rack, and I hear this dude freakin' out, as he bolted towards the bathroom. He didn't even make it to the other side of the squad bay before he poo poo himself. Making a huge loving mess all over the floor for the firewatch to clean up.

I seriously doubt he made it past boot camp or in life. The dude was pretty loving stupid and goofy looking on top of it(goon.jpg in the flesh, so maybe he made it as an 03). Best part was watching a DI falcon punch this guy with a canteen to the chest, and send him spilling into one of the racks.

Yeah, my brother was a Marine aviator for a bit and he gets mad when people bring up the 35 and the Harrier as anything other than "Can you believe this lovely boondoggle?" and to this day gets mad at himself for not being more patient with the Navy officer selection board, since the only reason he went Marines was to get a guaranteed flight spot without having to wait around for 6 months after he got out of college.
