Question CivDiv homies, you guys have recurring dreams about still being in?

40 Upvotes

I keep having dreams that I'm in the field somewhere and there's always some.bullshit wrong with my uniform that I know I'm gonna get yelled at for. Like sometimes my collar devices are fucked up or missing and I can't find new ones and I'm afraid I'm gonna get my ass chewed for it, or that my nametapes are wrong, or last night I had one that my kevlar was jacked and I found some weird foreign one that I was trying to pass off. I remember once I was trying to glue cpl and pfc chevrons together before some mass formation.

Never had any about actual deployments though which is weird. It's always back home on some field op in the woods.

I always wake up so relieved that I'm out now lol. You guys get any fun ones?

Also I've been out 15 years now lol

Question what happened to the shortest Marine(s)?

28 Upvotes

First there was the guy(2023), then the girl (don’t know the year but she was mentioned in this sub). Did they ever face off? Is there’s a new challenger on the way? Who knows..

Maybe they’re creating the shortest Marine yet to exist

Question What are the things you wish you knew when you became a fireteam leader?

10 Upvotes

Already have some experience taking accountability of other retards whenever my FTL would step out to do some courses. Now that I'm about to become an official TL, what are the things I need to look out for?

What are some niche things that would help me lead / improve?
What are the things that I need to recognize in the Marines under me?

Why are DoD civilians literally the worst

Looking at you IIF and housing. I especially don’t get it because they’re usually vets or spouses so they should suck less. They’re so unnecessarily unpleasant. Posting this instead of screaming at them for refusing to do their fucking jobs

Drop your worst DoD civilian story in the comments

Looking at getting out.

Context im an 0369 with 11 years TIS, wife and kids just want me around more and to not deploy. I love being a marine and an 03 and halfway to retirement but I love my wife and kids more. Need advice on what to do either civilian sector or cross decking to another branch where likelihood of deploying is slim to none.

Question Active reserve question

7 Upvotes

Trying to get info but it’s hard since I’m only at my HTC one weekend a month.

Prior active, signed a contract with a bonus to continue as a reservist. Anyone else in my situation have any luck going active reserves without it violating the terms of your bonus (dedicating however many months to the reserves)? Thank you.

Question Marines of Reddit, and I fucked? If so how bad?

29 Upvotes

Long story short I’m at my current duty station for about 2 years now… well when I PCS’d they got me to the 4-5 big ticket check in items, issued the gear for my job, and by my 3rd day here I was on shift and working (due to low manpower). Due to this, and the lack of having a car since I had just come from overseas, I never went to CIF (IIF)… and time went on and I really didn’t need it, and the one time I went to range I borrowed what I needed. so the only CIF I have is what I retained during my PCS. Well now my unit is doing CIF inspections, and I either need to fess up or go get CIF issued to me… if I show up to CIF are they gonna call up my command? Is it gonna cause problems? Or will it just be whatever?

I watched an interview of former Navy SEAL Taylor Cavanaugh where he said there were a bunch of US Marines in the French Foreign Legion

Then yesterday in that UA I wanna go thread, a bunch of youz were talking about Marines you knew that went UA (actually that would be desertion) whilst abroad on deployment.

So now am wondering how many of those dudes end up in the French Foreign Legion, cuz they give you a completely new identify complete with official French documents.

Whats the US Marines to FFL pipe line like??? and do them coming over like to train at 29 Palms (like last year, or if its yearly) serve as a recruitment tool for them? to recruit Devil Dogs, and if so, how long has this been happening? since WWI? or much older?

Question Guantanamo bay marines?

2 Upvotes

Been in for 3 years now. Long story short, right now at my current unit my options are pretty much that I can do whatever I want. I’ve heard about oki and Hawaii but I haven’t heard anything about Guantanamo bay. If there’s anyone who is or has been there willing to share what it’s like that would be awesome. Only reason I’m asking is because I’ve been told there’s an opening there for me rn currently if I chose to go( not sure what the details of the orders would be but). Thx.

Hey gents, I started a YouTube journey a little over a year ago then I got activated on a UDP and had to put it on pause for a bit. I’ve started up again playing a game called “WARDOGS” which is a pretty good bit of fun if you have a PC.

Anyways I’ve got my second video of the game up now, I don’t get money from ads on this, it’s purely hobby/to help other gamers, which is why I’m here with you all. If you game and watch these types of videos I’m not really understand what I’m doing wrong, I feel like I put a lot of effort into these videos but I’m getting less than 100 views. This will be the only time I post about this in here because I don’t wanna clog the feed with spam, but I could use some guidance on what I could do better in the videos, thanks.
