    Whats with the hand in the pocket?

    Im guessing trying to hide a boner.

    Why no pistol marksmanship badges on the other Marines?

    Im assuming Embassy watchstanders with primary weapon being a pistol.

    Alphas dont get worn much when MSG. You can tell those came direct out of the inspection wall locker due to the hanger fold line showing.

    Thats going to cut into their bar time getting those wall locker perfect again.

    IIRC, pistol qualification badges are not required to be worn (though almost everyone who has them does). Kind of like ribbons; IIRC only personal awards are required to be worn (but who the fuck wants to have to maintain two different sets of ribbons? So most just wear everything). I think the one exception for not wearing badges/decorations, is when fulfilling color guard duty, and being one of the standard bearers. The harnesses would just trash everything (spent a couple years on the Bn color guard, so remember this quite well).

    As to the hands inthe pockets...it's been a long war. Certain standards have been relaxed. Shrug. Completely understandable.

    Was probably an unplanned goat fuck also.

    One of those guys just came off a mid shift and just wants to sleep, one is working eves and wanted to get his banking done before going on shift but now cant, one is pissed because his workout was cancelled and the other had leave to go to Normandy for some historical sight seeing but had his time off cancelled.

    All are pissed they had to get their Alphas on and agreed together to blow off the pistol badge.

    Another picture in the article included a Marine in cammies, Im assuming he was the roving patrol. The guy at Post 1 is in Blues and he is pissed he cant get out there and get in a picture with Ivanka, perhaps the RSO will relieve him for a full det photo to hang in the Marine Bar.

    The Detachment Marine Bars are the place to be.

    Det parties were a pain in the ass because inventory control on the alcohol was like prepping for the IRS to go up your ass and than there was usually the giant field day prior to the event and a bigger one after, but still peeps, especially the ladies, loved Marine House parties.

    Bit different than say open squad bay Dragons Platoon 3/8 where 4 or 5 guys split a case of beer and you wake at 0300 to see one of the drinkers from a top bunk whizzing on the guy in the bottom bunk.

    The USMC has lost so much "flavor" since the adoption of BEQs.
     
    Try and find a picture of a Clinton, Obama or any communist from the house or senate in the last 20 years extending pleasantries to an actual military member,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,go luck.

    It is nice to see a family in the White House who is functional.

    Hi,

    Like this one?
    Granted Odumba was an idiot but lets not act like the Trumps are the first and only of something.....

    Do you really think making five guys stand at attention and shake hands with the messiah is a "casual meet and greet"? I swear you socialists will apologize for or defend anything your masters do. Tell us your excuse for Stalin killing/ purging or "re-educating" millions of Russians?

    Wrong, from reading his past posts, and pms, hes no socialist not even close. Just pointing out something.
     
    I don't know about Obama, but can say that the Clintons were pretty bad towards the military (had a friend that worked White House security detail). I won't get into details on a public forum, but it was one (of many) reason(s) that I didn't vote for Hillary (not that it was ever really a possibility for other reasons).

    I will say this however, Chelsea didn't fall too far from the tree...little bitch.
     
    Hi,

    I was Active duty during Clintons and they were horrible.

    As for as me being a socialist....LMAO. Of the 2 of us, I would be willing to bet I have more direct horror stories of Communist/Socialist Governments than you could ever imagine.
    My "Master" is not capable of shaking hands with anyone on this earth no matter what Political Party is governing the USA or any other country on this planet.

    They could just be MSF...

    And Sgt under four years is a thing these days. Yeah, I know, it was rare (near impossible) back in the day (I made it in 6, and that was considered fast back then). But with attrition and wars going on, I hear E-5 in under four years is not that uncommon (which truthfully, is a little scary when you think about it).

    wow, Sgt under 4.
    i hate to say it, but a Marine under 4 cant know enough, the Corp is in bad shape.

    IDK, but the Sgt with his arms crossed looks to be sporting a CAR...

    Thats what Ive heard, that Hillary was not beyond cursing at them, and at the Secret Service. Seems like a stupid thing to do, being rude to those who are protecting your life, but then its her...

    Climbing with Col. de Moschin Incursore in Italy. SFODA-075 1988 "Yes Sir, Everyone is in uniform...shaving every day, yes Sir. I'm standing far right. SSG X, kneeling on left, borrowed my blouse one day. The Italians went apeshit when they saw another Captain they weren't aware of. Had to cover up the rank with duct tape.
