Less than a month until I leave for bootcamp.	tesline	February 24, 2014 06:14AM
Update. 21 days until I leave. Passed my 30 day IST.	tesline	March 01, 2014 06:58PM
I can't wait until you are boot camp so I don't have to see your dumb posts (n/t)	Matrik	March 01, 2014 11:11PM
You're gonna be nervous no matter what, you can't change it.	bloodmoon	February 25, 2014 03:20AM
Yeah but the marines are so kewl. (n/t)	kanye	February 25, 2014 04:49AM
I'm glad I can tell you're being sarcastic.	bloodmoon	February 25, 2014 06:04AM
My point was that as non-officer or combat arms. Why choose the marines? They have the lowest budget, worst technology, etc, etc. Not to mention you can't choose your MOS pre-basic like the army. (n/t)	kanye	February 25, 2014 05:32PM
Really? I thought Marines were the elite of armed forces.	Murphy	February 26, 2014 03:45AM

Dude, if you're not combat arms(infantry, combat engineer, etc) you will get the same basic weapons training as every other normal soldier/marine (m16/maybe an m4 if you are lucky but I doubt) familiarized with grenandes, at4, M2, MK19, and thats it bro.	kanye	February 25, 2014 07:51PM
AFAIK, every branch has basic physical fitness and weapons training. Do you think it is hard to operate weapons? (n/t)	Matrik	February 25, 2014 07:24PM
Tell this to the marine corps, everytime you go to the range, a week of classes on how to use the m16. (n/t)	bloodmoon	February 26, 2014 03:31AM
Oh man, I'd die if they made me take a class every time I went to the range on how to fire my own weapon. (n/t)	Matrik	February 26, 2014 04:06AM

Actually if that were to happen recruits would be discharged. If it was based on sexual orientation. One of our staff sgt said faggot in front of one of the openly gay (I am not openly BI) and he got screamed at by the Gunny for almost an hour.	tesline	February 26, 2014 05:28AM
Reminds me of an old joke.	Murphy	February 26, 2014 06:11AM
Gay, I came up in the marine corps on shit talking and getting the shit beat out of me.	bloodmoon	February 26, 2014 05:46AM
Well you can still get the shit beat out of you for sucking in bootcamp. It just can't be because you are gay.	tesline	February 26, 2014 05:49AM
Nobody is going to say Hey we beat Tesline's ass because he is a huge faggot. They will knock you around and say it was for another reason. It's pretty funny hearing the lies your recruiter is telling you. (n/t)	kanye	February 26, 2014 05:31PM

I plan to kick their ass but they deserve to be discharged. The military isn't a place for cowards and people are willing to attack their own allies over small differences. (n/t)	tesline	February 27, 2014 04:59AM
You're so naive.	bloodmoon	February 27, 2014 05:42AM
I'm not talking about a 1v1 fight. I'm talking about a group of pussies attacking one person for being gay.	tesline	February 27, 2014 05:47AM
And the point I'm making is deal with it at your level.	bloodmoon	February 27, 2014 06:00AM

Tax payers money? Let me lay this down for you.	bloodmoon	February 26, 2014 06:05AM
There is a difference between a group of people beating the shit out of someone for their sexual orientation and a 1v1 fight. The issue isn't a 1v1 thing but having the Marine Corps seem or worse actually trying to exclude gays. (n/t)	tesline	February 26, 2014 06:13AM
I'm on the issue of GySgy fuckface screaming at SSgt smuckatelli for saying faggot.	bloodmoon	February 26, 2014 06:16AM

My point exactly. Neither would you be "bi". You would be the gay. (n/t)	Doof	February 27, 2014 01:03AM
That didn't add to your point at all. All it would mean is you aren't straight. You could be bi or gay.	tesline	February 27, 2014 03:25AM
He's invoking a dichotomy. If you aren't straight, you're gay. Try inserting 'queer' here instead of gay. (n/t)	Elystan	February 27, 2014 04:09AM
Under the same logic I could say I am straight.	tesline	February 27, 2014 04:16AM
Then you misunderstand the logic. Straight = straight. All else = gay. Any deviation from straight = gay. You = gay.	Doof	February 27, 2014 11:46PM

I think that's completely wrong	Rade	February 24, 2014 07:14PM
