No ice, unless your making an unfortunate appointment with the silver bullet.. Myself and Matlock's Senior was big on fitness and had a dip bar on our quarterdeck that we could use on our hour of...

How are you doing everyone.

I did pretty well, got meritoriously promoted and graduated 2nd in my platoon. Motivated...

Hello Marines,
My issue involves some scarring I received prior to my shipdate, I had not reported my scars so I had to go through the MEPS routine to get them checked out before I leave. I saw a...

I liked the broomstick reference.

You are killing me.... I got 258 days or so untill I ship
