marines that get out ... pretty funny

"I am in the marines; I have a problem." what do i do after the marines??? 2. Speech: Time should never begin with a zero or end in a hundred, it is not 0430 or 1400; it is 4:30am and 2:00pm Words like head, deck, fourth point of contact, rack, and "PT" will get you weird looks; bathroom, floor, ass, bed, and workout... get used to it. "Fuck" cannot be used to -replace whatever word you can't think of right now, try "um". Grunting is not talking. It's a phone, not a radio; do not use words like roger, say again, send it and conversations on a phone do not end in "out" like wise people will not understand you when you use expressions like "watch your six" or "pop smoke." Also, the people you hang out with now are your friends and the people you work with are your co-workers. There is no such thing as a "battle buddy" anymore. 3. Style: Do not put creases in your jeans. Do not put creases on the front of your dress shirts. A horseshoe cut looks dumb, not motivating. A high and tight looks really dumb as well. A hat indoors does not make you a bad person; it makes you like the rest of the world; what's more it's a hat and not a cover. You do not have to wear a belt ALL the time. 4. Relationship: Being divorced twice by the time you are 23 is not normal, neither are 6 month marriages, even if it is your first. Marrying a girl so that you can move out of the barracks does not make "financial sense", it makes you a retard. 5. Personal accomplishments: In the real world, being able to do 20 pullups and run a 18 minute 3 mile will not make you good at your job. Most people will be slightly disturbed by you if you tell them about people you have killed or seen die. How much pain you can take is not a personal accomplishment. The time you got really drunk and passed the sobriety test anyway is also not a personal accomplishment. 6. Drinking: In the real world, being drunk before 5pm will get you an intervention, not a "good for you" That time you drank a 5th of Jaeger and pissed in your closet is not a conversation starter. That time you went to the combat life saver school and practiced giving vodka IV's will also not be a good conversation starter. 7. Bodily functions: Farting on your co-workers and then giggling while you run away may be viewed as "unprofessional". The size of the dump you took yesterday will not be funny no matter how big it was, how much it burned, or how much it smelled. You can't make fun of someone for being sick, no matter how funny it is. VD will also not be funny 8. The human body: Most people will not want to hear about your balls. Odd as that may seem, it's true. 9. Spending habits: One day, you will have to pay bills Buying a $30,000 car on a $16,000 a year salary is a really bad idea. Spending money on video games instead of on diapers makes you a fool. One day you will need health insurance . 10. Interacting with civilians (AKA YOU): Making fun of your neighbor to his face for being fat will not be normal. Calling him a "fat-body" is not polite. 11. Real jobs: They really can fire you. On the flip side you really can quit. Screaming at the people that work for you will not be normal, remember they really can quit too. Taking naps at work will not be acceptable. Remember 9-5 not 0530 to 1700 12. The Law: UCMJ does not exist and will not save you from prison. Your workplace unlike your command can't save you and probably won't, in fact most likely you will get fired about 5 minutes after they find out you've been arrested Even McDonalds does background checks, and "conviction" isn't going to help you get the job Fighting is not a normal thing and will really get you arrested, not yelled at Monday morning before they ask you if you won. 13. General knowledge: You can in fact really say what you think about the President in public. Pain is not weakness leaving the body, it's just pain. They won't wear anything shiny that tells you they are more important than you are, be polite. Read the contracts before you sign them; remember what happened last time. Repost if you were once a marine...or currently are...or know some and miss them dearly

the truth about marines

Marines come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of sobriety, misery, and confusion. He is sly as a fox, has the nerve of a dope addict, the stories of an old sailor, the sincerity of a politician, and the subtlty of Mt. Saint Helen. He is extremely irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible. A Marine is a Marine all his life. He is a magical creature. You can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list but not off your mind. Marines are found everywhere... in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in debt...in bars and ... behind them. No one can write so seldom and yet think so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or clean clothes or a six pack. A Marine is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a cent and brave without a grain of sense. He is the PROTECTOR OF AMERICA, When he wants something it's usually 30 days leave, music that hurts the ears, a five dollar bill...or a woman he can count on. Girls love them, mothers tolerate them, fathers brag about them, the government pays them, the police watch out for them and somehow they all work together. You can beat their bodies but not their minds. You can tame their hearts but not their souls. He dislikes small checks, working weekends, answering letters, eating chow, waking up, maintaining a uniform, and the day before payday. You may as well give in. He is your long distance lover...he is your steel eyed, warm smiling, blank minded, hyperactive, over reacting, curious, passive, talented spontaneous, physically fit, good for nothing bundle of worry..... And will always be there for you regardless of how long its been since you've last talked.
