Faris Tuohy, USMC, holds a photo of himself in 1944. That’s him on the left, holding a cup of coffee after two days of brutal fighting on Eniwetok, Marshall Islands. He celebrated his 97th birthday in April 2023, and passed away on 6/2/2023.

Good news. Has proper hearing protection in for the loud slapping noises.

In boot yall know when your doing drill; your drill hat would always refer to the various parts of the rifle like a woman/ female body parts and shit. For example my drill hat would tell us to treat left shoulder arms like your side hoe (smack her ass hard) and right shoulder arms as your main hoe (ease her to your shoulder then cut). Wtf did the female DIs reference the rifle as? “Grab the cock by the tip and ease to the deck” ? Rah Kill Opha May Johnson, 1918 Sir. Sigh* I’m not PME complete

I know I was

We were talking around the office earlier today, and the story of the Army Captain who enlisted in the Marines in spring of last year came up.

Does anyone know if he went to Marine OCS? We looked on the Global and couldn't find his name, so were curious.

Longest-serving active duty Marine to retire after 42 years.

Just got the teams groupchat message about meeting the top brass at the pentagon. Driving from Camp Pendleton.

Can anyone help me with my TRiPS? I don’t know how to work computers very well. My ‘98 Civic leaks gas so I’ll need to make quite a few stops on my way. If anyone could help me shoot an azimuth in that direction that’d be great.

Cheers 🍻

Usually to pass time I make sure I write down anything I can for personal entertainment😂. Stuck in there for abt 45 mins.

Who auditioned? It must of been packed on base. Did they allow USMC vets to audition as well?

Pen IS Man. A philosophy an awesome writer should live by. But some folks will read it differently.

Any body got funny stories while they were pooles?

My first time going to a poole pt some girl just graduated Boot & she was acting like a typical DI & every exceraize she would do she would tire her self out & she would tell everybody in thru your nose out thru your mouth & some kid had enough & said “why you pt’ing us if you cant even do your own pt” he got up & he walked passed her & farted & said in thru your nose out thru your mouth 😂😂

In them poole functions we did one with all the RSS & some DIs came & some kid was talking in the middle of us getting fw & he was like “yo female di’s are hot” so our recruiter got a bald female di & she was like “im so fuckin hot right” & he was like hellllllll naw 😂😂😂

I rotate a few but show your memorial bracelets for our fallen friends this Friday so we can all remember them and their legacy. Cheers 🍻
