The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I acquired some animal flesh in order to let it succumb to sacromantic heat mutilation. I helped it a little with some chilli sauce and some teryiaki sauce. I'm all into this ogre cuisine lately where I just buy meat and throw it in the pan. The women in the butcher shop laughed at me. They asked what I wanted I said I don't know. They laughed at it and asked well what I wanted to cook. I said I don't know again with an empty expression. Then I pointed at a random slab of meat.

THIS. HEAT. TERROR.

Next time I will just bark at them or something.

Not many people these days just cook meat with not too many vegetable, which you really need you can also swap meat with different people from different cultures or even freeze it and kill your enemy with it then there is no proof of the crime.

I was watching Full Metal Jacket with my friend who was in the army and I was like "yeah, this is dramatized and not a realistic portrayal, right?" and he gave me a straight face and said "no."

Gay.

(new) Marine Corps boot camp documentary coming out. This clip right here pretty much covers 25-35% of the boot camp experience lol.

Good times. That recruit in front of the camera is going to crack and will always be the one bringing up the rear.

It's way more intense than that a lot of the times. Especially considering you generally have 3-4 drill instructors running around at any given time. The Senior Drill Instructor hardly works with the recruits. For whatever reason he tries to portray himself as the "caring and understanding" leader, which is nonsense. The other drill instructors are the ones you spend the most time with, otherwise known as the "green belts." They're the ones that make your life a living hell.

The worst part about boot camp imo is the downtime we have, or the holes in our daily schedules where the DI's have nothing else for us to do but slay you. Meaning, they either take you out to your local pit, which is basically a sandbox and make you get all sweaty doing pushups, mountain climbers, side-straddle hops, and crunches, and then you get sand caked all over your body and uniform make you extremely uncomfortable the rest of the day. Or they'll do the same on the quarterdeck of the barracks, which I preferred tbh but still wasn't fun. It just seemed like a big waste of time. I'd rather just an intense PT session instead of that bullshit or study. But it's all good.

Honestly, sometimes I wish I had stayed in. It'd be pretty skate for me now. I would have changed my MOS asap after re-enlisting though, the infantry will destroy you over time. I'd only have 7 years to go before retirement, probably at the staff nco rank of some sort, assuming I didn't wind up with a couple njp's. Life might have been good. Or I'd be dead. heh

I hated trunk/bag dumping/rack tossing more than anything. The worst instance we ever had was every single item was dumped into the middle of the squad bay, then all the mattresses were stripped and piled on top of the items and blankets, and then everyone had held out their containers of antifungal powder and had to "make it snow" in the squad bay, and then me and another guy had to grab the ice coolers and dump them all over everything......and then we had to have it all cleaned up in like 30 minutes.

They decided to renovate the 1Bn chow hall at PI while I was there, which meant marching a couple of miles back and forth to 3rd's chow hall for every meal. I hated it at the time, but after I got out realized it saved us from a ton of fuck fuck games. Also, since it was winter and the fact we were on the 3rd deck, we hardly ever hit the sand pit, our DIs preferred to either kill us online, or have us run up and down the stairs "to" the sand pit, but always yell for us to get back online when we got down to the ground, rinse repeat.
 
I remember we had to take our beds and lockers out of the 2nd floor barracks down to the company area and then bring it back up, at like 10 at night. That was bullshit.

We didn't really have free time outside of sundays during church hours and the last week before graduation, but my basic training unit were kind of fuck ups

FMJ is a joke imo, I didn't even finish the movie. It's both worse than and not as bad as that.

I dunno, FMJ is more realistic in their bootcamp portrayal than that clip on youtube. That's day 0/1 stuff, but FMJ shows the evolution of the DS/DI throughout bootcamp, especially when recruits/privates improve. People think that's what happens everyday you're in, but in reality it slows down a lot and reappears only when people fuck up
 
Sitting in class again, this is a study hall, though, so I'm allowed to post. I just turned my English project in.
 
I think my platoon was a 50/50 mix between the physically challenged and the mentally challenged.

It didn't really slow down much for my platoon until after the Crucible. Might be a difference between Marines and Army, or possibly because our drill hat started with us as our kill hat, and when they yanked our drill hat to be a senior elsewhere a month in, the kill hat became the drill but never changed his methods - so we basically had 2 kill hats and our senior was never around to tone things down. Probably good because the senior made a comment once about missing kill hatting, and the dude was like Cam Newton sized but with a mean face lol.

Actually im selling the house to my realtor.
It's been almost 2 fucking years! Rented it for 6 months, had to fix bullshit.
My realtor is going to buy it then rent it. The guy who is renting it is a buddy of mine, other guitarist that I jam metal with. weird!
2016 is going to be a little odd... we will finally have money. These last two years have sucked massive amounts of dick.
We havent been able to do much. We went to Disney and Universal because of her tax return last April. Other than that, boring, boring, boring!
