New Social Thread

[cookiecutter]

Don't worry, Randy Moss has made some threads about you.

Good to know. My ego has remained intact.

 

[Badbird]

Fuck that thread about metal sucking was shit. Looks like it time for a HANGOVER. Also I'm going to Prague for you know what. NHL OPENER SEASON.

Hey Dakryn, I was thinking about this the other day from my perspective but I was curious what you would do. Would you ever consider reenlisting in the Corps? I'm always interested in hearing other prior Marine's opinion on whether they'd ever reenlist especially after you've been out for an extended period of time (like me).

Why not wait till you have a degree and then go back as an officer?

 

[King Richard]

I haven't decided on anything yet. I think if I were to rejoin that's probably what I'd do but I'm getting the itch to yell at some boots and blow some shit up atm.

On weekends, if I have weed, there is nothing better than what I like to call the "hippy speedball": smoke a bowl and drink some extra-strong coffee. If the weather is nice that day, then I top it off with a walk.

That sounds confusing yet awesome. I am kind of excited about having more access to green things when I come home, but it might be a gateway back into smoking...

No one will ever make me stop smoking Herb, You can't take that away from me. NEVER

Nope. My wife is still in and the shit she has to put up with regularly reminds me why not to.

If I had to go back in, I would go in as an officer.

But between the normal bullshit, and not agreeing with the US foreign policy, thats a big negatory.

I'm thinking about re-enlisting again when my engineering degree is done, but that's a big maybe. Enormous even.

 

[King Richard]

Everyone's first enlistment period is pretty lame for the most part. A lot of Marines I was stationed with who re-uped said it's so much better after you get over "the hump" of junior Marine status. There's always going to be bullshit, there's bullshit in every profession. But I understand what you are talking about.

DM what branch were you in?

I was a NCO for half my enlistment, and a Sergeant for almost the last year and a half, complete with BAH and kickass billet.
Doesn't matter. To re-up you have to drink the fuckin koolaid, and get used to sitting behind a desk listening to PFCs and LCpls explain why they were drinking and driving over the weekend.

And if the highlighted portion is correct, why does every senior staff person I ever heard talk about their favorite time/rank the Marine Corps, its always Sergeant and/or first enlistement.

Yeah I've never wake & baked, and I hope I never do. I have a hard enough time focusing on my job as it is.

 

[wandering_taco]

Dude are you fucking joking, that was so much smoke. That guy is a fucking baller.

My girlfriend just got her G2 in the mail today. The best part about that is that I got her G1! HELL YES!

BESTEST part of all is that because I am non contract, have unlimited text, and am getting free internet (mooching rules) - all for $40 because I am not using their 3g network right now. Granted, I can't use the gps or any of that shit on the fly, but I have a real computer, and a printer... I don't need it.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Looks like a nice phone, plus all that for $40? Thats a good fucking deal.

 

[Pessimism]

Hell yeah; I'm downloading apps right now so I won't have to worry about it later.

 

[The Ozzman]

Now you can download the metal archives app

I use a G2 aka HTC Magic. G1 is big and dorky.

 

[The Butt]

I do wake and bakes sometimes, but I wouldn't do one before work or anything. Fuck that shit.

 

[King Richard]

wakey wakey eggs and bakey
