@@illuminati7767 Sergeant vision on. Get back here you little shit! I made a working party just for you! When I find you, and I will, everyone is going to pay for your leisure time! XD
Sir, for 249 years the Marine Corps has been the finest fighting force the world has ever known from Tripoli to Guam Korea Vietnam duty honor blood guts Marine Corps oooh rah!
I wanna see a birthday message that shows the everyday side of our beloved corps. Painting curbs, raking rocks, fucking with boots, pointless formations until 2100, field day inspections by a shit housed senior lance at 0100. Great memories all around. Happy birthday Marines.
Thank you for offering your son in service. It means a great deal to other Marines and veterans like me that you would allow him into our brotherhood. I know it's not easy for parents to let their sons go like that, my own parents were....less than thrilled, especially when they learned that I was to become a field radio operator. Our life expectancy in combat is about 8 seconds. But I took my training very seriously, and men, Marines like the one your son is becoming, kept me from ever getting killed. I did the same for them in turn. 8 seconds is enough for me to call in a fire mission, with two seconds to spare. Together, we never failed a single one of 857 combat missions, and never had a single Marine so much as wounded. Encourage him to take his training seriously if he isn't already. Aside from that, if your son is Faithful, he'll have that much easier of a time in a challenging profession. Plato is often quoted as saying that if we fight with faith, we fight twice armed. It's more like if we fight with Faith, we are invincible, due to the nature of America's enemies. I have personally faced a lot of them, and while they may shout their devotion to God, they don't fight like they believe in Him. Often, it's just that one moment of Faith, where you stick your head up to sight in, or sprint to another firing position, that makes all the difference in war. Men who don't believe, or in the case of Islamists, only believe in secular reward, will flinch and shy away when faced with a disciplined unit of Faithful men. In the Corps, even our atheists our Faithful, supposedly. I've never met one. The Chaplains do an excellent job of making sure that everyone finds their Faith, and it's pretty rare to find an infantryman that skips church services. Far more likely to find some POG (Person Other than Grunt) skipping church to go to the PX or watch a movie, if they've never been "outside the wire". Your son will indubitably tell you why they do that once he's gotten some experience. A lot of military life is drudgery, like cleaning and polishing everything you already cleaned and polished fifty times. The exercise is to enforce perfect discipline in combat, where your weapon had better be clean, or it won't work. To do your son a favor, get him some cans of Remington dri-lube to service his weapon with. It will save him a great deal of time, and ensure that it never jams on him. You might just save his life, or the life of another Marine, because government-issued CLP is garbage. Or more properly, it seems to attract garbage in the form of every particle of dust for miles around, turning it into a gooey paste that wrecks firing chambers. Don't let him suffer through that. He has enough to deal with as it is. But if he has God in his heart, and the purpose that Christ bestows, to say nothing of his purpose as a Marine, all the burdens are considerably lighter. Again, you have my sincere thanks for trusting us with your son. We'll always be his brothers, and you will always be family to us.
@arcdecibel9986 Thank you for these beautiful words, it was one of the proudest moments of my life when he swore the oath of enlistment to support and defend the Constitution, and then seeing him on the Peatross Parade Deck as a new Marine surpassed it.
@@jesusthroughmary Indubitably, he will make you prouder with his accomplishments in service. Just advise him to stay away from dive bars, loan shark car dealers, and what we call dependopotomai. Other Marines will be warning him the second he hits the ground at SOI, but there's always a few that don't listen. The more they get the reinforcement, the better. Bars, obviously, are a bad idea because Marines get into fights. Especially the infantry. You must remember, these guys are conditioned to be naval assault troops. For every tactical scenario they are put in, the correct response is to attack, because you will die if you just it on the beach. Alcohol lowers their inhibitions, so you can see how that quickly becomes a problem. Then there are the loan sharks and such. If I were his Sergeant, I'd be warning him already, and again, his Sergeants will. There's no shortage of businesses that set up shop around Marine bases, just waiting for the next ignorant 19-year-old to dupe into paying exorbitant prices or sign exploitative contracts. For the first couple of years, it is advisable for young Marines to just stay on the base. It's hard for them to get in trouble there. And they are far less likely to run into...... The dependapotamus. Just like there are businesses set up to take advantage, there are women. A young Marine in his prime is bound to attract a lot of female attention, and these women have usually been through several. Their goal is to attract a young Marine, get pregnant as fast as possible, and then leech his benefits and paycheck. Normally, they get fat during the process, hence the name. But if they've suckered a guy in, there is no way out for him, because the Corps has to abide by US law. That means child support comes directly out of his paycheck. Again, it's probably best for him to stay on the base for the first couple of years. No matter how intelligent your son is, these traps happen to the best of us. Especially the last one because the dependopotamus can be tough to spot until she's not. Better if he already has a girl at home; one that you have vetted. If you tell him this stuff and he asks, you can say that another Marine, an older veteran, told you. We'll never be his parents, but it helps when the parents and the Corps tell these men the same thing. They can be a little difficult to reach because of how they are trained. They feel like they can take on the world, and in all fairness, they actually could defeat any military in any other country. But they might neglect issues like the ones I mentioned. As long as he avoids those, just stays out of trouble, he's got a bright future ahead of him, and care for the rest of his life, both from his new brothers and sisters, and the VA to a lesser extent. They're kinda getting better, but it's government healthcare, so it's slow and inefficient. But it's there no matter what, which is something. Far more useful is the fact that the Corps is the largest fraternity in the world. Doesn't matter what job you're working after the service; if you run into another Marine, they will hire you or attempt to get you hired, in any position they can find. If we weren't on the RUclips with no privacy, I'd give your son my business card right now. Veterans with honorable discharges get an automatic +50 points on the EEOC hiring scale, but Marines being hired by other Marines get near automatic pass, quite hilariously, in violation of the EEOC, but what are they gonna do about it? They already discriminate in hiring, and it would be political suicide to go after veterans, so they aren't going to do a damn thing. Forgive me for rambling on as I do, old Marines never shut up, but the point is that we've got your son well looked-after. Caution him to look out for the traps I mentioned, and as long as he doesn't do anything to get himself dishonorably discharged, we will help take care of him for the rest of his life. Your son. Our brother. Thank you for allowing him into our ranks. 07
