Bootcamp all over again

so our company gunny and company first sergeants are getting replaced with prior drill instructors, how fuckin gay is that. we just had a formation and they related everything to boot camp!!

 

It will take a while but they will mellow out. Be patient grasshopper.

i feel bad for them, i could never live like that nor want to

 

There is no need to be expressing your feelings on here. If you have a problem with your command, take it up with your command. Don't become a baby for all of TW to see and judge us.

 

Obviously your not a "Lifer". Some people make different choices than others.

I was told by a very smart person ( my wife ) everyone drives their own cars. And that you can't drive them where they are going in life.
As long as I remember this I get along with most people......

Pardon my ignorance I never severed, but I would think they would leave the DI mentality at Parris Island/San Diego.

 

this is a forum, and they have off topic discussion for a reason. i dont have a problem with anyone, and who am i judging????

 

Mostly it is left there, but it is still ingrained in you and it will take a little time for it to mellow out. Not a problem, just a little distraction for a while.
It takes time for any group, unit of people to become aclimated to each other.

 

Makes sense, I guess it would like me trying to make it through basic.

 

hey its cool, in my company we had a 29year old as the guide..your just a few years late

 

True this is the off topic discussion, but you are talking about yours and mine Marine Corps. We roll with the punches so don't complain. You are not judging anyone, I said so everyone else would not judge us.

Bottom line what I am saying is don't complain about the Marine Corps it makes us look bad.

 

good to go!

 

Now that that is out of the way. What do you do? I'm a SSgt 6332 Aircraft electrical systems technician stationed at MCAS Cherry Point.

 

Can't worry to much about everyone judging you. Your a Marine and are going to be judged for everyone's little or big mistakes. We take it on the chin and come back for more.

Good Marines never look bad.

Yeah sometimes we get bad press...but don't let that bother you.

And for you out there that are reading this and don't understand we are a brotherhood that won't quit. We are proud and justifiably so. We are not the slow stupid or dumb that some portray us to be.

My Company First Sargeant is a prior Drill Instructor. Sometimes he can be like that...

But its all cool... Only have to be around him for the weekend! (damn reservists...) I get that all the time.

"Hey there you freakin devil, I mean Marine." LMAO! So funny.

 

im in the airforce, or will be when i leave for boot camp on the 21st. and from what i have seen of the marines around my neighborhood, you guys are real Americans and i would be proud to shake your hands.
And what you guys are saying about smart marines yes yes you are. many marines i have talked to about air control are very very smart. i thank you for your service and negative press is all about shock value. you guys keep America safe first. hands down. Im glad ill be in good company when i get deployed.
My family are retired Airforce and they say your never safer then when surrounded by a regimen of Marines.

 

im an 0612, field wireman stationed at camp pendleton. from what i hear from my ssgt's, cherry point sucks?? i have a lot of friends at miramar who work on aircrafts, not sure what MOS but their non-deployable

 

congrats!!

 

oh yeah im a cpl too

 

When your comparing weather to Calif. or Ariz. your right but the east coast is a place you need to see. When I was at Le Jeune we could go anywhere on the east coast for about 10 dollars. We had a place called swoop circle that was basicly a carpool hangout for rides going up and down the east coast. Want to go to N.Y. no problem. Got the weekend free and want to go to Fl. no problem.

Don't let others form your oppinions for you.

North Carolina does have some heavy humidity, but you aclimate.
