Marines are like everyone else they're different. I have 3 marines working here and they're all significantly different.

Not even close to being true. The Marines have the second highest % of high school grads in it's ranks, over 98%, next to the air force and, for the record, no service is at 100%. This misconception that Marines are brain dead cannon fodder is old and antiquated.

PI drill sergeants are not allowed to do some of the things they got away with in the 50s and 60s. It was more outside of training tactics used that were stopped.


Went through in 04, sure they aren't supposed to do some things like curse or touch recruits. It was war time, I can guarantee they got the job done. I may have fell a couple times, wasn't really listening to what they were saying.

I always thought marines were supposed to be badass. I'm not saying they aren't, but I know someone who used to be an active marine. He's very small with no muscle and he has the attitude of a millennial. He doesn't like to work and he is lazy. Are the marines getting lazy or is this guy an outlier?


Don't frick with him!

You do understand that most Navy Seals are built this way right?

ask him what he's MOS was


My guess would be:
A) supply
B) motor t
C) air wing
But as someone mentioned previously, there are a fair share of shite birds in the line companies as well...

I work with Marines every day. Like anything else there's great Marines, some so-so Marines and crappy Marines.
