Your choices say a lot about you. Go.
Playing OPFOR at Fort Knox in 1995. Good times.
Chuck Norris is only an Honorary Marine.

Who knew that my mom would be more welcoming to me joining the Marines than my dad.
Everyone in my family ignores me when I bring up the military. They think that because I’m going to college…
They say things like, “In the Army, you live in barracks that don’t have cable.” Or stories about when they were recruits like, “When I was an airman we could have pie or we could have cake, but we couldn’t have both!” Scary stories like that.
Lol, Army barracks, ugh. When I was at Ft Gordon, I called my grandfather. He did three tours in Vietnam, volunteered for all three, retired as a Master Sergeant. I told him where I was and he laughed, said he was there when it was just Camp Gordon. I told him where my barracks was and he said, “Where they used to have the out patient hospital barracks? They finally tore those down and put in real barracks, huh?” I said no, these were those same buildings, to which he responded, “That can’t be right, those were condemned when I was there!”
Yeah. That’s how the Army rolls. Black mold in the air vents and such. Still, good times.
The barracks we had at JBLM were substandard for Air Force. In fact, an Airman would get prorated BAH to be compensated for the poor housing. Of course, soldiers could stay there and be told to suck it up.

What the fuck is air?
omg.
Seriously? A public affairs unit and this is the best they can do? If you are going to celebrate being a POG, at least be good at your job.

^Marines have Boot Camp, Army has Basic, Navy is RTC or Recruit Training Command, and Air Force has Summer Camp
^ Hey, don’t disrespect the Air Force. It is a sleep away camp and not always in the summer. They can’t go home until camp is over. Sometimes their camp counselors yell at them.

ACK! BARREL! GROUND! NO NO NO! Good thing there aren’t any NCOs around to witness this.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. It is possible that the front sight post is propped against something so the barrel isn’t touching the ground. But I doubt it. If it is touching the ground then GET YOUR DICK OUT OF THE DIRT!!
Why do people think mistreating weapons makes cool pictures?

omfg i’d buy that
It would be great if it actually smelt like napalm, but I don’t know what this perfume or actual napalm smells like, but it’d be cool anyway. I do like the smell of fresh gasoline tho.
^^ It smells like victory.
Why would anyone need a 30 round magazine? Here is my argument. Anyone have a rebuttal? lol

I think I can see the difference.
The difference is that the President is black.
And you know how the far right thinks of black people.
The difference is how he treated Benghazi attack. He couldn’t send help then, but he uses a Marine to hold a fucking umbrella so his royal highness doesn’t get wet. That’s the difference.
And George W. Bush invaded Iraq with false and shaky intelligence that got the military bogged down in a seven year counter insurgency that saw thousands of Americans killed and injured. George H.W. Bush invaded Iraq after telling Iraq to build up their military arms, and them provoked Iraq into attacking Kuwait, so he could look like a knight in shining armor, then he invaded Kuwait and Iraq.
Ronald Reagan, as much as I love the man, peddled drugs and weapons into low income neighborhoods.
It’s the President of the United States. Those Marines aren’t there to look pretty. Their sole job at the White House is to serve the President. Just as those soldiers are doing for Bush Jr/Sr. Linking anything about the way the President handled anything to what he makes enlisted members of the military do is a illegitimate and baseless attack.
That Marine is a boot ass Corporal. The other is the President of the United States.
The outrage comes from the fact that that highly trained Marine would lay down his life for that man and he’s being used as a fucking umbrella holder because its glamorous.
It’s not about race, it’s about people of power mistreating the people that protect them. He’s a Marine, not a presidential aide, not a god damn butler.
That wooshing sound is the point going over your head. Where was your outrage when Reagan and both Bushes did the exact same thing? You know, as shown in the picture?
The difference that i see is that Reagan isn’t at a press conference. He is walking. Also, it isn’t a military service member. Also, it looks like Bush and Bush is using officers while Obama used a lower enlisted Marine. Honestly, that might be better, being the president’s valet would be a great bullet point on an OER. But you know when that Marine gets to a unit they are going to tease the shit out of him.
I would also like to point out that when George HW Bush was president, only certain units had berets. The ONLY troops with a black beret were in the Ranger Regiment. So that is a Ranger Officer holding his umbrella. That might be when he was sending troops into Somalia.
Last, where is Clinton? I guess in eight years the sun only shined on Clinton.
I do not single out Obama for how stupid it is to have a military service member hold an umbrella.I don’t think any president should do it. Doesn’t he have an intern or lackey somewhere that can do that? Just saying.
Happy Armed Forces Day
This is for the people currently serving. Veterans Day is for those that have served and Memorial Day is for those that are no longer with us. Today celebrates those serving now.
