This has been an interesting month. It’s crazy that the branches are having stand downs for different, isolated incidents all at the same time. Each NJP this month has been an independent event ranging from parachute selfies to a negligent discharge from an unregistered weapon in the barracks. I mean, we’re seeing some wild sh*t go down all over the interweb. Did you hear about the leak from the War Thunder video game? No, you’re thinking of the other War Thunder operational security violations. No, not that one either. You’re thinking of the Discord scandal. No, this is the latest, newest OPSEC blunder. For the next war, just send all the troops on libo and I promise that country will be ashes before the 96 is up. Regardless, check out this list of best military memes of the week while your new guys get sent to the brig trained.
Here are the best military memes of the week to laugh at during the safety stand down
You better marry her right the hell now, devil dog.
That is a stone-cold killer.
Do not go infantry. For love of Chesty Puller, do not go infantry. My recruiter tried to warn me about the BS but I had something to prove, apparently. It’s peacetime. Go ahead and get something out of service for you. F that recruiter (unless he’s telling you not to go infantry).
Here is your safety brief that hasn’t changed since OIF.
Bonus points if you left with student loans too.
I do not know if what the comic claims to be true originated from the Bataan Death March, but I can confirm you’ll hear it non-stop in the field.
Darwin is said to have studied the evolution of the Marine. From ‘Oorah’ to ‘rah’ and ‘errragh’, finally discovering grunts actually can communicate with grunts. Marines are very good at adapting…they just have a little trouble adapting back.
Who would win? An entire amphibious track battalion or one single apricot?
Momma packed your favorite brand of crayon.
Place ammo in ammo can.
Maybe?
I have already come to terms that if we get into another war and I commissioned as an officer, none of my friends who stayed in will salute me. I believe it is a common tradition to give your now-Mustang buddy a hard time.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. I once got a call from a SSGT I NEVER MET asking for my proctor code after I EAS’d. One, you’re not getting it even if I was active duty because it was the only way I could green wienie the Corps’ in return. Two, it didn’t matter who you were, I was making you sit and test for MCIs. “It didn’t used to be this way. We would ask for the code and they would give it to us. We used to pass the code around and get all the Lance Corporals their MCIs off duty in the bricks Blah blah blah.” I loved letting them finish their incriminating story and then have them try to demand the code from me with no success. Not a lawful order just because other people broke the law and gave it to you in the past. No code for you! One time a platoon sergeant actually got in my face about it. He huffed and he puffed and then I scheduled his ass to the rifle range two weeks later. Don’t mess with the S3 Ops personnel. We can and will send you to the dumbest, most inconvenient training on the planet for being stupid on deck.
Have you ever met a pilot with game? It’s overkill. Leave some for the rest of us.
Troops: Can we get off at a decent time?
Genie: There are 5 rules.
I don’t know if its a new troop thing, a young people thing or what; It is almost like a challenge. E3s and below must find the most complicated, non-slap-on-the-wrist-able charges known to man for their first libo.
I did a lot of PowerPoints that should have been done by my Ops O that were done by me. He was not incompetent or anything. On the contrary, he was a certified 0311 combat veteran and a Mustang. He has all kinds of badges and medals. Honestly, the dude was just busy AF all the time and that’s ok.
“…Point to the port where you plugged it in and I will conclude my investigation of your NJP.”
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how every leak happens, ever.
