How do you Marines keep a straight face through such shenanigans?
Looks like an SNL skit.

Because at 19 years old, you just hope you're not the one who fucks up again and causes the whole squad bay to have to hit the pits.
Because they are terrified. I remember going down to quarter sales to pick up some boots a few years ago at MCRD. A lot of recruits don't make it very far into bootcamp and MCRD sells their uniforms on the cheap. It's a great place to pick up cammies and boots. Oftentimes they aren't even used. I digress. I was walking to quarter sales and I see a young recruit crutching over with the gimp squad. A lot of recruits get hurt and are put on light duty until they can rejoin a boot camp class. I see this young recruit and I can see the decision train pulling into the station. Salute or don't salute? I tell him not to salute since I envision the disaster that will ensue when he does. He does anyway. He crashes to the floor and I move to help him...but he is still maintaining the salute from the floor. I return the salute and walk away after realizing that my presence will cause more friction than anything else.
That young recruit fell for you and you just left him broken and confused.

One of my best friends in high school did not make it thru receiving - he actually was going to get meritorious PFC for recruiting me - dude swore he would kill himself if they didn't let him out, wrote me one or two letter from there begging me not to go to MCRD - oh, if I only kept those letters.:wall:
Something like that must really wear on a person (quitting boot camp) hell, he didn't even quit boot camp, he quit receiving. To this day he still lives in the same small town and goes from gas station to gas station as a clerk. Kinda sad, dude never really recovered from the shame after talking up the Corps so much before he went.
I still remember my recruiter telling me that if I quit too, he'd hunt me down and "fucking kill me". Which makes me wonder, does something like that affect a recruiter after the recruit has shipped to MCRD?
:-"

In the end, does it matter what branch it really is? The suck will ALWAYS be the suck.
So, that means we can still make fun of 99.9 % of the AF, and 99.9% of the Navy (not Dep't of, just the Navy, Dep't of includes the USMC, y'know, the squidlified Army
). Well make that anybody in the Military that would say "You mean I have to sleep outside?"... But this does not include Ground Support Aircraft crews, like A-10 and XC-130xx guys.

This is a video of Sand Hill about two and a half years after I went through (I was actually in Iraq when this was filmed). Its a better representation of what OSUT was like...
That made me laugh pretty hard. Thanks for that.
