If you ever ate the piece of banana off the bar.
If you've ever yelled in a bar "If you ain't (insert MOS here), you ain't sh-t!
If you've ever combined money with friends to by MoJo.
If you've ever sat on the curb and drank MoJo.
If you've ever heard the phrase: You go Short time G.I.?

[bucksgted]

You were called, "You number 10!" because you refused to pay the prices in Yamato.

[Quinbo]

You can fall asleep in an am-trac bobbing like a cork in the ocean then hitting the beach at 60 mph and bouncing around like bumper cars.

You can fall asleep in a helo leaking so much hydraulic fluid and making weird noises that the crew chief rushes to the back with a paniced look on his face and starts pumping a lever.

You're willing to trade beef stew for chicken and rice because chicken and rice comes with M&M's.

You've ever spent an hour inflating a rubber ***** just to have it go flat 15 minutes later.

You know 3rd echelon disassembly of the m-16 and .45 and can make repair parts out of ball point pens.

It's an 03's thing.

Alert
Direction
Distance
Range
Assignment
Control.

We use them to call out enemy targets. for ex.

"Enemy out in the open
12 O'Clock
200 meters.
Saw Gunners fire at will."

Is just an easy example.

[echo3oscar1833]

When you still call up the current Marine Recruiter, just to see whats up, and try to get free stuff like tshirts, mousepads, pens, pencils, etc.

When you iron your Civilian Suit, and make sure its inspection ready like you would your Service Alphas.

When you still have all of your Uniforms from the Corps hanging in there own closet on white hangers (hangers properly spaced:marine:).

When you still refer to the bathroom as the head, and food to chow.

When you have an I love me Marine Corps Wall, with all of your Photos, Shadow Box, and other Marine Corps Collectibles.

Every now and then when you are out walking a long distance you start singing marching cadence in your head.

When you still always start walking with your left foot, and if walking next to someone you still stay in step.

[mcvet57103]

Hey Elle, You really opened up the flood gates with this thread. LOL Lovin it.

mcvet? Just salty is all. And I am guilty of sitting on the curb with Mojo and many of the others. There is this wonderful thread between us all...from 1775 to 2008. We are all Marines: former, present, and future. We all carry our memories. But at the same time? Unless you were there? Its tough to pass that along to those outside your time, but those that were? No explanation is needed, but we can still pass them along so others have an idea.

[SGT VAS]

You call to Marines farting next to each other "Talking Guns" and yell GAS, GAS, GAS!!!:sick:

I won't lie and say I know the date the Marine Corps decided to set up and run a Cpl's Course PME program, however, I can say (at least my experience from the Camp Pendleton Cpl's Course) that it's amazing. The things you learn there, things you are refreshed on and the myriad of physical and mental tasks imposed upon you are nothing short of amazing for the development of strong NCO leadership.

Obviously you do not have to have gone through this to become a good NCO: saying that would be ridiculous. It is an amazing tool, nonetheless, to ensure that as you enter the NCO ranks you do not have an empty toolbox of NCO skills and knowledge, but a toolbox filled with a multitude of strong, sharp high quality tools, so-to-speak.

[Quinbo]

Went through NCO school in 91. NCO school was a combo of Cpls and Sgts. It was very challenging although 03's got to skate a little on the field portion. Shortly after graduating the Sgt Maj told myself and a couple other Sgts we were going to Sgts course. I was the only Sgt present who hadn't done a tour on the drill field.

You're kidding right? Same class room same instructors same course only no Cpl's? Well there was a log jam at NCO school so they made a Cpls course and a Sgts course. Well which one did I go to? It took a bit of convincing but we didn't have to go back to the same school under a different name. I was amazed that a good friend of mine had to attend it at all. He went from the fleet to MSG and then straight from MSG to the drill field and from the drill field to the fleet. What the hell did they miss out on in those schools that could be taught in another. Those who can do and those who can't teach.

You hear "standby" and all you can think is "grab hold"
You've ever ducked and covered during the 4th of July fireworks
You find sh!tting in a plastic bag full of kitty litter a luxury
You've ever opened your CHARMS and threw out all the green ones
You'd rather blow up MRE heaters than actually heat your chow
