That is one seriously pro mustache. Totally on par with state troopers, a tick or two below saint Freddie.

Cargo pockets are fine if you use them and don't give a gently caress, but are dumb as poo poo if you wear them to an office or retail job.

When I was in the process of cleaning and destroying stuff during my divorce move, I found my old buffer certification training record from AIT.

Why in the hell did I keep that since 1990?

So most of my posting is via the Awful app so I didn't even notice that I've got this "pillbug" tag underneath my av. Anyone know what that's about?

that's one piece of military paperwork I'd keep, if not frame. Just an amusing reminder of how dumb the military can be.

we have some bad news to share about Ace Combat 7’s adorable runway dog. According to the game’s brand director, Kazutoki Kono, the loyal canine is an in-game tribute to a developer’s dear-departed dog.

Lol that dog owns


For those out of the loop in the new Ace Combat that dog sits in cutscenes like a cardboard cutout. I guess it was one of the creators—since passed—dog or some such?

Dear Woof

My name is Captain Edward Blank and I am in charge of Marine Corps Officer Selection Team, Blank. Our job is to identify future leaders of Marines. Before I go on, I am not a high school recruiter and my goal is not to take you off the college path. Rather, this is an opportunity to build your leadership foundation, while continuing to earn your degree. We have recently opened our Officer Program to individuals in Community College. If you’ve ever thought about doing something exceptional, service to your country, or just want to hear more about the benefits associated with the challenge of a lifetime, read below.

What. The Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) is how the Marine Corps identifies future officers (leaders of Marines). It is not like ROTC and you do not need to already have a degree to apply. PLC is a highly selective program open to all undergraduate students, graduate students, and those who already have a degree. So long as you plan to pursue a four-year degree, you are eligible for this program. You work with my office to put together an application to be considered by a selection board. If selected, you will be given the opportunity to attend training at Officer Candidates School (OCS), where you will learn what it means to have the honor and privilege of leading Marines. This program is designed to be a paid summer time leadership internship. You will be given challenges that will test your ability to make decisions, build resiliency and above all, lead others to success. Marine Officers are leaders of Marines, charged with making decisions in some of the most demanding environments in the world. The challenges endured at OCS are hard, as officers are held to a higher standard of mental, physical, and moral courage. Officers are expected to lead from the front in every situation.



When. Where. This program is not like ROTC programs. We do not expect commitments to our program several days/hours per week. Instead, we offer two six-week sessions or one ten-week session of leadership training in Quantico, Virginia during the summer. Training will occur after school has been completed and before beginning in the fall as to NOT interfere with academic or athletic schedules. Travel to and from Quantico is paid by the Marine Corps and you are paid approximately $3,330.00 for a six-week training session or $5,500.00 for a ten-week training session. After training completion in the summer, you will return to school and continue classes in the fall, without any school interference or service obligation. We also offer tuition assistance following your successful completion of OCS. Once you have earned your four-year degree, you are left with the option to accept or deny a commission as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. If you do not accept your commission as an officer, you owe nothing to the Marine Corps.



Who. This program is designed for men and women who possess high mental, moral and physical character traits. If you have ever had an interest in serving your country, doing something exceptional, or leading the men and women who serve this country, this program is designed for you. It is available to all undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of college major, without service obligation. You must be a United States citizen to apply.



GROUND OFFICER: Again, any degree type can be a future ground officer (jobs such as: intelligence, infantry, military police, tanks, artillery, cyber security, communications, logistics, supply, public affairs, and more). So long as you meet the eligibility requirements for application and successfully complete OCS, you can lead Marines as a ground officer.



PILOTS: If you have ever considered being a pilot, there is an aviation program available. No experience is required, and it is open to all majors. The Marine Corps is the only branch of service guaranteeing a seat at flight school to those selected to be pilots. Once you complete OCS and make the decision to accept your commission as a Marine Officer, you will be slated for flight school. Again, there is no service obligation until you decide to accept that commission.



LAWYERS: I am a Law grad and, outside of this job, I am a Judge Advocate in the Marine Corps. Accordingly, I am well positioned to discuss the advantages of practicing law in the Marine Corps. Representing Marines (whether accused or commanders) is the some of the most gratifying and rewarding legal work available. If you’re interested in a well-paying, exciting, and character building opportunity to practice law contact me for details.



Why. Challenge. Professional development and personal growth. Service to your country. Pride and honor of a Marine commission. Leadership training and experience. No obligation until graduation. Tuition assistance. Travel and adventure. Post-graduate education assistance. Equal opportunity. Physical fitness. Self-reliance, discipline, responsibility. Financial security and benefits!



Again, contact me ASAP as we plan to begin conducting interviews immediately and continue through the spring.
