Marine in College

WTF? Why are you all talking about the marine and not the atheist prof?

If I’m an atheistic prof and I pull that totally pointless and invalid request of “proof” and some big-ass dude steps up to me, I’m gonna be thinking that the guy’s probably try to “prove” something.

Hell, way before any person even has a chance to step up, any atheist prof worth their salt (I’m an agnostic, so I’m only guessing here…) knows that because there is no God except in the minds of men and women, so there can only be one conclusion: God “works” through the actions of men and women (a priori or post hoc).

As such, and from having some knowledge of the students in class (is it tough spotting possible marines?), it wouldn’t have been difficult to deduce that some MMA training would be needed as an effective safeguard against the “God works in mysterious ways” crowd. That, or a loaded gun.

Even simpler, the prof could have done away with such an unneccessarily long time-window (why does God need 15 minutes and why would you want to piss off the students forking out hundreds of dollars a head to sit and listen to your jabber, anyways?) and just removed himself seconds after saying it, thus only giving God, and not His minions, the chance to strike him down.

There are so many flaws in this prof’s thinking that he deserved to get his block knocked off and much worse.

As for the marine, no one can blame him for the mess created while diffusing the stand-off. If it weren’t for his timely action, the kid with the sawed-off shot-gun under his trenchcoat or the goth girl on the other side of the room with the poisoned hair-pin would have gotten to the prof first: as agents of some D+D dragon god and Cthulu, they respectively gave their gods the chance to answer the prof first… but getting worried that they would be held responsible for not striking down the heretic, they set out much like the Marine did. The marine, of course, would sit closer to the front of the class than those two clowns, so it only makes sense that he’d reach the prof first.

So, instead, seeing that the prof had been dispatched just before they could get to the front of the classroom, both awkwardly turned around to go back to their seats, nervously glancing to see if anyone had noticed them (and they hadn’t because of the spectacle unfolding between the marine and the prof), and suddenly noticed each other…

… and they’ve been keeping me up until the ungodliest of hours ever since, what with all the headboard-repeatedly-slamming-into-the-wall
-in-the-apartment-above-mine action.

The End.[/quote]

Man, waaaaaayyyyy too analytical. It’s all about a salty, experienced combat Marine shutting up a snotty, arrogant, no-practical-life-experience professor. Of course this situation would never happen in real life…the Marine would have simply raised his hand and said something like “Sir, you are an idiot and this is a waste of my time and money” and then left the room. He would then probably report it to the Department Head and demand the prof be disciplined for his abuse of authority, drop the class, eventually graduate and move on with his life.

Here’s another good joke:

A Marine returns from Iraq and is minding his business back home. One day an anti-war peace activist confronts him and tells him he was wrong for fighting in Iraq and that we should have Saddam more time. The Marine punches him in the mouth. The activist is irate and asks the Marine why he did that.

The Marine just apologizes and they shake hands. The Marine then punches him again. Now the activist is really mad “What the fuck, man??!!!” The Marine apologizes again, and offers to buy him lunch. The activist calms down. The Marine punches him again as hard as he can. Now the activist is smoking mad and takes a swing at the Marine. The Marine ducks out of the way and puts his hands up saying “Hold on dude, just give me more time”

B. Barney: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The troops are not interested in your PC fashion statement: “I don’t support the war but I support the troops” (paraphrased). Either you are all in or you are all out. Pick one. I won’t get mad. You won’t hurt my feelings, but it feels like you are patronizing the troops when you say you support us but not WHAT WE ARE ACTIVLY DOING. Like what is it you support then? See what I mean?

C. I think someone else irritated me but I forgot what the statement was so fuck it.

Former Jarhead OUT.

This thread has been hijacked…however,

I started a thread a long time ago about supporting the troops. My thought is that everyone says they support the troops, but they don’t support the war, the President, the mission, blah, blah, blah. That is impossible. For these reasons:

  1. The military is ALL VOLUNTEER. How can you support someone who volunteers to do something you despise?

  2. We understand up front that the prospect of combat is likely.

  3. We are not cattle who “don’t have a choice”.

  4. Your fake support is often patronizing, offensive, and demoralizing to the troops.

  5. The U.S. military is led by the best people this country has to offer. It has nothing to do with college degrees, or GPA’s or political affiliation. It has to do with dedication, honor, mission accomplishment, patriotism and sincere concern for the well-being the troops.

If you are not military or have never served honorably, you have no idea what I am talking about. I would rather some of you guys just come right out and say you don’t like the military instead of saying stupid things like “I support the troops, but hate the mission”.

Good points. What I love though is that people who claim to support the troops completely disregard when us military guys step up and call bullshit on them. Our opinions only matter to these guys when they line up with their agenda. I am not going to hate someone for disliking the military. I am going to dislike insincere folks who claim to support the troops while screwing them over.

I left the corps because I didn’t get to go to Iraq. I ended up joining a reserve unit for a short time for the exact purpose of going to war.

Saying I support the troops but not the war is as if I were to want to start boxing and you say,“I don’t think boxing is a good sport so I support you wanting to play but I am going to try to get a law passed to make boxing illegal to stop you.”

Having said this, you can try to stop the war all you want. Your tax dollars are funding it. You have that right and should excercise it. But don’t sit here and claim to support the troops when you aren’t. I don’t care how many dumb ass care packages you send, you aren’t helping us.

Every time I watch the film of the panic while we pulled out of Saigon I feel ashamed as an American for abandoning those people. I feel that same empathy for the Kurds and shame as an American when Bush Sr. ditched them. I will NOT allow that to happen in my war.

Shit, I just about typed the same thing before I read this. The funny part is that while I scored a 98, my best friend scored a 99 and followed me into the grunts. That 1 percent still pisses me off.

Now, if you want unconditional love no matter what you do, under any circumstances, turn to your Mommy…

on the other hand my mother kicks my ass from time to time, but I am pretty sure she “supports” me anyway and that there is some sympathy involved…

I think you’re missing the point on what it means to really support something in order to make yourself feel better. Not wanting someone dead is not support. Trying to reform a war to make it more winnable IS support. Trying is stop a conflict that people are volunteering to fight in is the OPPOSITE of support.

Therefore, you don’t hate the troops, you just don’t support them. That is okay. Hating the troops makes (generic) you a dick, not supporting the troops doesn’t. I suppose if we wanted to be perfectly clear I suppose these anti-war guys could say, “I support the [b]minority[/b] of troops and I am against the war.”

I hope no one thought my comment was anti-miltary.

It doesn’t matter if he was a marine, or a banker. I just don’t like it when people use religion as a backing to do others harm.

It does make a difference if he is a marine or a banker.

First, a banker did not swear to defend the constitution.

Second, he was never trained to kill.

Third, and most of all, I would not want someone with a loaded weapon close to me in a combat situation when the same someone cannot keep a cool and clear head in a fucking classroom when some moron hurts his precious little ego.

It was all pretend. Give me a freakin’ break.

The pretend character is still an idiot.

We get it. You don’t like Bush and you are against the war. Loud and clear.
It was a stupid story. But it hurt nobody and anybody with a little sense of self would realize the intent was innocent enough.

Not liking what the pretend character did has NOTHING to do with liking bush or the war.

I don’t like bush. But he is the president, therefore, I will respect the office of the Presidency, even if I don’t respect the man. I don’t expect that you liked clinton. But I hope that you at least respected the office of the presidency.

And please don’t call me a liberal or a conservative. There are great liberal politicians, and there are great conservative politicians. I would re-elect bill clinton in a heartbeat if he could serve a third term. However, in a race between Hillary and McCain, McCain would get my vote. In the kansas state elections this year, we have a great incumbent democrat governer. She will be getting my vote. We also have a great incumbent republican attorney general. He will be gettting my vote.

I don’t agree with the war in Iraq. However, I support the troops. They don’t have a choice, they do as they are ordered. So I have nothing at all against the soldiers, just against the policy makers that sent them to iraq.

Dude,
My comment had absolutely nothing to do with you or your post. I don’t care how you vote.

And by the way–I voted for Clinton-twice. Voted for Bush-twice. You’re better off talking about your dry spells than politics.

And by the way again–You don’t show much of your reported respect for our current Commander in Chief by not capitalizing his name. I even capitalized ‘Dude.’[/quote]

I can’t be bothered to type out my own response when one is right in front of me and saying what I want to say, but in a better way. So just re-read Barney’s post.

kthx

So you’ll have to want the conflict to go on forever to support the troops?
I thought even bush wants to “stop the conflict”? :wink:

Spot on Bro. The current crowd learned from the mistakes the nutjobs made when they protested Vietnam. Now instead of spitting on troops coming home they claim to support “the troops”. They still hate everything a squared away trooper stands for but they’ve gotten a lot better about concealing it.

You probably picked from a provided list, or are too stupid to remember. According to how you place on certain parts of the ASVAB, a list of reccomended jobs will be provided to you to pick from. These jobs are what “The corps” feels you would do best in.

Just wondering how you know so much about this Hannibal King?

Not that I feel the need to defend myself, buuuuut for any young impressionable types that may come across the thread…

You cannot choose your exact MOS. What you can choose is the first two numbers of your MOS which is called your field. I chose the infantry option which meant that my MOS would be 03XX. When I went to infantry school post boot camp it would be established what my exact MOS within the field would be. Those MOS’s are: 0311-rifleman, 0331-machine gunner, 0341-mortarman, 0351-anti-armor assaultman, and 0352-anti-armor guided missileman which is where I was sent. My brother, upon enlisteing got to choose his field which I think was called combat support. It included tankers, amtracks, and a few others. He was made a tracker. So yes, you can choose your field, not your precise MOS.

As far as lying about my score. One good indicator that I am not is that fact that I know which version of you’re and your to use when I type. I don’t really know how I learned it though since I beat up all my teachers in high school which totally prepared me to beat up all my professors in college. Beating up teachers is a time honored Marine Corps tradition started way back in 1775 when Samuel Nichols recruited kids that beat up their professors and were expelled from college. He hated professors and would invite the unruly kids to Tun Tavern for a beer where he would recruit them with wild stories of beating up teachers in foreign lands.

Wow your so cool, we all believe you, even though you picked a near perfect score for yourself to brag about, fucking idiot. The marine corps do NOT let you pick your job, if you score too high they will not let you pick infantry or “grunt” as you morons called it.

By the way, I’m just curious as to how many of you “SUP{ER HARDCORE OMG MARIENS” faught in a war? Or do you guys just beat up on college professors and brag about your fake asvab scores and lie about your MOS’?

Not that I feel the need to defend myself, buuuuut for any young impressionable types that may come across the thread…

You cannot choose your exact MOS. What you can choose is the first two numbers of your MOS which is called your field. I chose the infantry option which meant that my MOS would be 03XX. When I went to infantry school post boot camp it would be established what my exact MOS within the field would be. Those MOS’s are: 0311-rifleman, 0331-machine gunner, 0341-mortarman, 0351-anti-armor assaultman, and 0352-anti-armor guided missileman which is where I was sent. My brother, upon enlisteing got to choose his field which I think was called combat support. It included tankers, amtracks, and a few others. He was made a tracker. So yes, you can choose your field, not your precise MOS.

As far as lying about my score. One good indicator that I am not is that fact that I know which version of you’re and your to use when I type. I don’t really know how I learned it though since I beat up all my teachers in high school which totally prepared me to beat up all my professors in college. Beating up teachers is a time honored Marine Corps tradition started way back in 1775 when Samuel Nichols recruited kids that beat up their professors and were expelled from college. He hated professors and would invite the unruly kids to Tun Tavern for a beer where he would recruit them with wild stories of beating up teachers in foreign lands.

Infantry is not an option with a 98 ASVAB score, stop lying.

I was in the 2nd- 75th for 4 years. A friend from my fireteam is now a recruiter and we hang out quite frequently.

How did I know you were a soldier? So you being in the Army makes you an expert on the Marines. I see. A 90 or whatever my score was (not lower than that for a fact) got me infantry. And yes, I was in Ramadi. And no. I don’t want to talk about it.

All is fair in love and interservice rivalry, but your innacurate statements are taking this a little bit too far. The Army and the Marines are two very different animals. You should know that. Be all you can be! Hooah!

FYI, the corps requires the second highest ASVAB to get in, behind the air force.

FYI you’re wrong.

Coast Guard - 40 prior to 2003, 36 after 2003
AF - 36, 21 w/waiver
Navy - 31 prior to 2003, 35 after 2003
Marine Corp - 32, 25 w/waiver
Army - 31, 26 w/waiver

Told ya. It’s sad, that you marines are so stupid you don’t even remember your ASVAB scores.

hahaha. Or you could have said: “You Marines are so stupid even when you get high scores you join the infantry.” The Marines attract a strange breed. That’s why so many of you REALLY don’t understand why we don’t bitch about the war etc.

Hahahaha. Excellent response. I was an 0351. I love your version of Marine Corps history by the way.
