When people complain about the heat, you think of the Marines deployed overseas or stationed in bases in hotter areas like 29 Palms and say, "Buddy, you don't know what heat is."

There was a Behind Enemy Lines 2, at least we could've got through the first okay if we didn't take it seriously but this heap of trash....God help me if I ever cross paths with the people who...

As of 0057 today, my best friend and his wife became the parents of a baby boy. Here's my godson and his dad.

Not a war movie but it involves the military: The Last Castle. Not to mention Robert Redford can go die in a fire.

You notice the little mistakes in movies that portray Marines. Like what would a Texan have been doing in PI in FMJ? Or in A Few Good Men, Marines saluting indoors while not under arms.

Why are there two E-9 ranks in the Marine Corps? I know a Sergeant Major has more administrative duties and a Master Gunnery Sergeant has more technical duties but I don't understand why there are...

You work out to Marine Corps cadences

You correct people for not capitalizing the M in Marine or C in Corps.

You were like, "It's pronounced 'coreman', you idiot!" when Obama said "corpse-man."...

Not sure if this has been asked before or if it's in the right forum (didn't see a topic for it on the first two pages). This is just out of general curiosity. Have any of you Marines met your drill...

The Patriot was pretty bad too. I hate Mel Gibson, I'll go on the record of saying that, but that's not why I hate the movie. I hate it because of the historical inaccuracies. The Brits never rounded...

Pearl Harbor: Titanic meets Michael Bay, enough said.


Tears of the Sun: Forgettable plot and a waste of time and a good $10.


Windtalkers: You make a film about the Navajo codetalkers and...

Thank you, Marines, for your service

On Facebook, on one of the Marine Corps pages, somebody mentioned a Motivation Platoon. What is it exactly?

In some cases, when I do address enlisted Marines here and elsewhere as sir or ma'am, they're usually not impressed. Sometimes even annoyed. They basically tell me not to address them as such again....

This really belongs in the Poolee Hall but I don't have permission to post there. Of course a supporter/friend/family/wannabe/poolee wouldn't even know half about the Marine Corps that a Marine would...

I wouldn't know. Never been there. In FMJ when the Marines were singing the Mickey Mouse Club theme. It felt awkward laughing at that considering all that took place just five minutes before.

Darth Vader's "NOOOOO" and Padme's, "I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart."

Mainly due to bad acting/writing, inappropriate music, how it's expressed, or what not?

Flight 93: The portrayal of the hijackers from their wooden dialogue to their red headbands. The rest of the...

A NZer asked me how I'm able to recognize veterans. Well, I told him with World War II, Korea, or Gulf War vets it's harder to tell unless they wear hats or shirts indicating that they are veterans....

Do you also thank military members both current and veterans for their service when you see them? I make a point to thank them if I pass by them on the street or in stores or whatever. When I'm...

That just reminded me of this classic.

Couldn't find a topic for this but I'm writing (more like completely revamping) a story that I've put on hold for years about Marines. To avoid the fictional military portrayal cliches, I'm looking...

Okay, we got a murder case here where the defendant is facing death or life without parole if convicted, so let's select the best jury for it. By that I mean one of these people must be denied at...

Thank you all for your service

Happy birthday, Marines

There's the Mayan end of the world in 12.12.12.
