What does a Marine actually do aboard ship? Just PT? Did you guys have to stand watch?
Curious because I have no idea. I was always under the impression that you guys just did some morning PT and then just sat around watching movies and eating chow.

Lots of spades and bones, till late at night so we'd get the good midnight chow for the wing. Workout. We'd polish and grease the bright work on the howitzers. Sleep. Go down to the well deck or lower and grapple. Fuck with people. And then the boots would have to help in the kitchen, some people would be those dudes that walked around with the billy clubs on duty. And go topside and get yelled at for leaning over the front and let the wind hold us up. Watch the harriers and helicopters take off. Shoot our rifles. Stupid shit like that. Then when we got closer to Kuwait they fucked with us more and would have midnight formations and stupid bullshit to get us back to being miserable and angry.
Oh nice. Nope bravo 1/11, arty battery.
well... at least you were on the meu, shit sux exponentially when you go on those carat floats (i don't even know how to spell it) u kno? if Meu was battalion sized grunts, Carat Float is like company sized.
Oh god that sounds like a living hell
Yes! That was them. They were on Lake Thar Thar when we were there.
You should do an AMA on Marine life, Im fascinated by that shit, Ill have a good 20 questions for you.
Feel free to do it in the community chit chat thread. I'll roll a joint now and I'll answer just about everything. I'm fairly open w my experience.
I dont understand that thread
the fuck is it about?
EverythingI dont understand that thread
It's a free for all of fuckery
Be careful asking him questions.
I was in a boat company. We trained all the time. They would flood the stern and we would all float out on CRRC's. A moment that could have ended badly: both our engines went out at 0200 in the middle of the med. we were a few miles away from the ship. We only had chem lights to signal the rest of our company. Somebody saw us swinging those around and came back to tow us in. The sea is VERY dark at night.
I could, what's your issue with it?
we do everything we'd normally do on land, but on a boat, in small confined spaces. PT, Train, McMap, Classes, Clean Weapon, Clean Area, Wait in line for chow 1 hour before, stand firewatch around the vehicles so the squids don't go in there and fuck, and on down time, play spades. that's about it. rather do all of that on Land, or not...
I see.
Well since you asked nicely I will see what I can do, maybe tomorrow or the day after.
