Full of lube and the thickest thermometers I could find

My dad was the CO and told us about how it was leaked when and where the Marines were landing. Sure enough, media was there and cameras were rolling when the Marines landed. I have the whole 40 minute DVD they made for that float, so if any Marines were there and/or want the video, let me know. I'll find a way to get it to you. I probably just about wore this VHS tape out when we got it.

Details in first comment. For some reason the AI bot filters on the sub thought the story was asking for recruiting info and blocked the content from the OP

I call bs, the Small Wars Manual was at least real!!!

TL;DR: From Ancient Greek mýstēs (μύστης), meaning "one who has been initiated"

and to that poolee that wanted a tattoo about cumming on his shield or some shit cuz his grandma told him about "300" which was based on comics, keep all this in mind... Spartans loved sodomy.

Read this in twitter awhile back for Nov 10, it was one of those list your coolest Marine Corps birthday story threads.

watch lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-2077dVgrQ <<<

Recruiters even had their own Bulletin prior to WWI where they shared these stupid (some were actually smart) ideas on how to increase their numbers.

This was until CMC John Lejeune put an end to all this Recruiter driven publicity for more curated Marine Corps publicity and propaganda.

I'd love to see Marine Recruiters get back to catching sharks though ngl.

Because I do. With every one of my DI’s too. Screaming Aye Sir

TL;DR: school circles work , just lay off all the piggy backing

"Keith B. Bickel challenges a host of military and strategic theories that treat particular bureaucratic structures, large organizations, and elites as the progenitors of doctrine. This timely study of how the military draws lessons from interventions focuses on the overlooked role that mid-level combat officers play in creating military doctrine. Mars Learning closely evaluates Marine civil and military pacification operations in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, and illuminates the debates surrounding the development of Marine Corps' small wars doctrine between 1915 and 1940. The result is compelling evidence of how field experience obtained before 1940 played a role in shaping the Marine Corps' Small Wars Manual and elements of doctrine that exist today. How the Marines organized lessons at that time provides important insights into how doctrine is likely to be generated today in response to post-Cold War interventions around the globe."

This is one of those benefits that is probably easy to miss.

MARADMIN 501/26 updates the process for Marines to get reimbursed for qualifying adoption expenses.

Eligible Marines can receive up to $2,000 per adopted child, with a maximum of $5,000 per calendar year.

Covered expenses can include:

• Adoption agency and placement fees
• Legal fees and court costs
• Counseling
• Certain medical expenses for the biological mother and child
• Required temporary foster care

The big thing to watch is the deadline: claims generally have to be submitted within 2 years of the adoption being finalized, and the child has to be enrolled in DEERS first.

If you adopted recently, or know a Marine who did, this is probably worth sending their way.

I was thinking back on things and remembered our CAX briefings before leaving Pendleton for the stumps. (The video of a Marine kicking some exposed mortar fins and a smoking boot landing 50’ away was a favorite).

But I also remember being told multiple times that were were absolutely 1000% not allowed to get a coyote, desert tortoise or anything else for a unit mascot.

So who messed it up for everyone else and what animal did it?

Looking to become an aerial observer. Just did UET as part of PTP about a month ago, will I have to do a flight crew variant of the UET a second time?

A SURVIVOR HAS BEEN FOUND FROM 1ST RECON PLATOON OF THE LEGO USMC THERE MAY BE A CHANCE WE FIND THE OTHERS IF THEY WERE SPARED

Not even sure if I should be doing this. What should I do when I have thoughts of killing myself in the back of my head all the time. To others I keep this persona that im a very happy person to the point sometimes even I believe it. It seems things are ceeping up to me that I tried burying down for the longest time. Please Help me before I do something stupid

Developed it completely on my own. It involves folding the corner of the shoulders to keep the sleeve perfectly straight before you start rolling.

Should I teach ya’ll how to do it? If there’s enough of demand for it, I’ll post a video of it in the comments section.

We have 26 days until Nov 10th.

Got falsely accused of Art. 120 by an ex-dependa a year ago. I was informed last week that the OSTC declined to prosecute but my command had me sign a page 11 and is giving me an RE-4 for "misconduct (serious offense.) As of now, no adsep proceedings or NJP has begun, I'm also 2 months past my EAS. I spoke with a JAG at the defense office and he said it was unlikely the code itself would affect my characterization or reason for separation without an adsep at the minimum. He also helped me write a rebuttal where I fully deny the allegations which I submitted the morning after.

Advice or input is appreciated.
