My favorite line from the movie:

"My name's Gunnery Sergeant Highway and I've drunk more beer and banged more quiff and pissed more blood and stomped more ass that all of you numbnuts put together."

Clint Eastwood is an American Icon and should be a National Treasure.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: "I'm going to run you out of the corps, Highway. And you know what's funny? You're going to do all the work. Sooner or later you'll disregard procedure, disobey an order, or just get drunk. You can't help it. You're too old, too prideful, too stupid to change. I'm going to enjoy seeing you fall, Highway. "



I've heard THAT before, and not at the movies.

I'm not sure if you fellas really know what MARINE really stands for. Let me help you figure it out:

M - arines
A - lways
R - ide
I - n
N - avy
E - quipment

Hope that straightens it out for you.!

So the Navy is the Marines' taxi service?

hmm...

Army- founded cause they needed someone to draw fire so they could locate the MG nests

Air Force- Army spin off


Marines- Older then the Republic, if I recall

When the F-4 Phantoms were on the way out and we got brand new F-16's, us specialists on the Flight Line knew as much if not more about fixing the planes than the factory reps. But we had a problem with the fuel quantity totalizer rolling back and forth. We'd found out what the problem was and another jet started doing it. The Crew Chief NCIOC told me to check this and check that and I told him no, I know what's wrong with it and I need hanger space because it's going to be a three day fix. So we marched into the Captains office and he blew up saying I disobeyed a direct order. The Captain then said to me, "OK Sarge, what's your side of this?" I told him that we'd discovered exactly why we were getting the symptom and had requested hanger space, only for a crew chief to try and tell a specialist how to do his job. The Captain looked at and him and asked if that was true and he said yeah. So the Captain looks at me and says "Sarge, belay that order"... then he looked over at the crew chief, who was by the way a MSgt, and I was a SSgt, and said, "and you get him hanger space, and I don't want to hear anymore about telling a specialist how to do their job, ever, and you WILL treat Sgt XXXXXX, me, with the RESPECT that a SPECIALIST SHOP CHIEF DESERVES, DISMISSED:" Man was that guy PISSED...

But when our Specialists NCIOC got wind of what happened, and he was a SMSgt, he ripped the crew chief a new asshole AGAIN... Nobody messed with me after that.

Gunny - Can't help it. It's what they taught us in school. That and take a couple of these pills and shut up! I think it's so funny to see a guy who can rip your throat out with one swift motion pass out from getting a little routine shot!

You have a point? I'd rather be skewered with a bayonet.

Besides, I think y'all just made up shots. Let's see what we can tell teh dumb jarhead we're injecting into him today. Got blisters from a hump? Oh, you need a typhoid shot.

You know what happens when you get a typhoid shot on Thursday? You ain't going any-damned-where Friday night. You fuckers did that shit on purpose and you know it.

Why is it that men are always scared of needles. Shit I got a large needle stuck into my back and I was praying for them to do it faster.

You ever gotten six shots at once out of a gun with three hundred PSI of water pressure behind it that just blasts it through your skin, and if you flinch it cuts you wide open like a razor blade? G.I.'s have... in both arms. You bleed regardless.

Have you ever tried to push a lemon out of your penis? Then have them cut you open and take it out.

 

[Article 15]

And to think I contemplated being a D.I. in the Air Force. I was an E-4 Senior Airman, and if I'd have become a D.I., they'd have given me a field promotion to Staff Sergeant. I think I may have enjoyed it. As it was though I made SSgt first time I tested anyway.

Since when did Air Force BMTS instructors become called "D.I.s"??

'Scuse me... I do recall in 1979 when I took basic, they were called "Training Instructors."

They still are ... er ... at least they were when I went thru in 02.

My T.I. was an E-4. He sewed on Staff the week after we graduated.

 

[007]

wtf?

During Basic Training, the fastest way to get everyone brought up current on military shots was to use these guns. You had to lock arms with another guy so that if one of you passed out after you got hit you could hold the other guy up. You locked arms and down a line until it was your turn. They did that twice. I saw them reloading one of the guns with a bottle of their concoction and he was spraying it at the floor to bleed it I believe. Get the drug up to the nozzle. But it had a spray coming out of it that looked like what you'd paint a car with, and that was going to go in your arm. They held it tight to your arm when they did it, and all heard was a little high pitched whine, and it stung. Didn't really bother me. It was either that or get needle after needle. I'd take that.

If my penis was supposed to dilate like a vagina, it surely would make it easier. But cesarean is for those women that don't sufficiently dilate, or are just too small. My first wife and a girl friend both had a C-sections. Both were given locals and said it wasn't that bad.

They came to Nellis AFB looking for volunteers to be T.I.'s. You had to be an E-4, at which time in '82 still included Senior Airman. They said if you re-uped and became a T.I. you'd automatically sew on Staff. Believe it or not I seriously considered it. Had it not been for the constant ragging I got from others about being a "maggot" and a "lifer," I probably would have. For some reason I liked Lackland AFB, or maybe it was the prospect of getting to go back there with some RANK! In any case, I never did get to explore San Antonio and I wanted to. I think I'd rather have been stationed there than Nellis AFB in Vegas. But truthfully, I did enjoy the regimented lifestyle of the military. I liked my uniform and took pride in wearing it. My 35-10 was always spot on. I'd have made a good T.I.

werent you just bitching about a shot from a pressure gun? but i love the disminishing of the females pain in chidlbirth....i got a shot of demoral.....i told the doctor...my to hubby's sugrin that had i know how fucking bad his drugs were i would have brought my own....
i dont care how that baby comes out ...its painful and c sections take longer to recover from....

i hope you need a big ass shot in your butt.....

remember the old polio shots where they started 3 ft back and banged them into your arm?

 

[Big Black Dog]

Pale Rider - I was never a big fan of those shot guns. They are such a pain in the ass to use. The reason people used to get cut with them is that they would move a bit while you were giving the shot. But as far as shots go, if you've got nothing better to do, why not give the troopies some shots??? It's great entertainment, a worthwhile endeavor, and it helps stamp out disease. Besides that it's free! The only thing more fun than giving out shots was running the clap line after a liberty port overseas. It seems that after drinking large amounts of beer while on liberty, grunts also love to get up close and personal with ladies of the evening... Seems like nobody likes to use a raincoat in the bad weather.

Wasn't "bitching" at all about the shots bones. Just telling people what they were... and I do recall mentioning that I didn't mind. I have a very high threshold for pain. I have to with what I've already been through and what I live with day to day. I've had a nickel sized hole drilled in my cervical spine from the front, and I've had my right lung completely hacked open to remove shrapnel. THAT fucking HURT.... AFTER.... for a long time. Still feel it sometimes, 25+ years later. They kept pumping me full of MORPHINE for that fucker... until I passed out.

And yeah, I've got that old scar on my left shoulder from that polio shot. Most of us as old as we are do.

And I can only tell you what my wife and the later girl friend, who didn't have my baby, said. They were given shots and a local and both said the C-section wasn't that bad. I don't know... I'VE NEVER HAD ONE. All I can do is take their word for it. You got a problem with it, sorry.
