How is the Marine Corp?

[Lorenzo23]

I just wanna know how a normal day works for you guys in the Marine Corp. My couz tells me its pimpin and all but that they try and tell u how to dresse and stuff.

[iamspartacus]

Yes. They tell you how to dress. It's called a uniform.

[JMCCREADY]

LOL, first of all you had better grasp onto the english language and join not because it's "pimpin" but because you want to become of the baddest mf'ers to ever walk the planet. I've been out for a while and am trying to get back in now. ABSOLUTELY amped up about the opportunity to get back in with my brothers and lead other motivated Marines and weed out the ones that are there for "pimpn" times.

Yes. They tell you how to dress. It's called a uniform.

Yep....that's my take.

I'm going EVR (exercising verbal restraint) and await extraction.
SC23....hope the '46's are en route.

Carry on...

You come on this site and spell Marine Corps wrong and you aint taking no disrespect? Your father should have spanked you more often for he did not do his job very well.

[USMC-SSGT]

Ill bite (a little).

The Corps has a dress code at ALL times. You are ALWAYS a Marine and as such should always strive to represent yourself and your Corps to the highest level possible. This doesnt mean you can not wear what you would like as that is simply not the case.

You may get away with looking like a bag of ass (official Marine Corps term) well outside the base but ask yourself WWFSD (what would First Sergeant do)? If I saw you on base out and around with baggy shorts hanging off of you and a shirt with tails (not t shirt) not tucked in or with your cover on indoors I would tear into you as that is my job. It is the Corps, there is a rule or a guideline for everything. You are not "stifled" by the Corps, you are proud to adapt and accept it as the new improved you.

All of us take a great deal of pride in our Corps and to see it misrepresented is very upsetting.

Ill give you some slack because you are NOT a Marine but the way you represent yourself is about 180 degrees from what we have become accustomed to while dealing with our own.

Lorenzo, listen to me, this is how it will be
Yu get to old PI you tell em hi for me
you get down dirty, you do PT
you ain't gonna play, you aint gonna be
like back in the hood, wearin all the bling
The DIs, yo, they don't go for that thing

You be sittin there illin, you aint gonna chill
Your DI tells ya what he wants for his will
You do it all right, he says man it's cool
You don't do it right he PT you like a fool

Aint no belts in good ol PI
black belt, brown belt, it aint gonna fly
you aint got guns, you just leave em at home
turn em in to five oh so you won't get in the zone

Listen to my song, man, cuz you know it's all right
You know boot camp is gonna be soon out of sight
You graduate, dawg, a Marine, and that's good
Now you aint no pimp livin back in the hood

[AKA HITMAN]
