Comment preview: I'm an ex marine and I work at the university. This cute girl would come in and I was planning on asking her out. Then one day she came in and started explaining how her mother was a DoD contractor that makes drones, and how she likes it when we go to wa ....

Comment preview: We won't give much a shit. Honestly. Now if a fellow Marine calls me an ex Marine, I might be a little annoyed just because its sort of a thing for those in the know, but I am not going to get pissy about it. If someone who wasn't a Marine doesn't call me ....

Comment preview: This is a funny point that I've had personal life experience with. I work retail, but an ex-coworker that got canned for being a monumental pain in the ass and drag on workplace morale had a stint in the navy. During peace time, and never saw anything clos ....

Comment preview: ...and then several students grabbed the Marine, wrestled him to the floor, and restrained him until the police arrived. The police hauled him off to jail, and he was eventually convicted of assault and battery and went to prison for 6 months. The professo ....

Comment preview: **I call bullshit.** Your comment history is 99% Dota2 posts and [this] (http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/zxaib/someone_stole_my_car_two_days_ago_today_i_got_a/) post about someone stealing your car and getting a ransom note leads me to believe t ....

Comment preview: Yeah, I'm sure there's a grizzled ex-marine working in a diamond mine out there who's just about to retire. We call him up an offer him one last chance at glory. He's gotta take it, because he's just that kind of guy. Fortunately during the training, he'll ....

Comment preview: Former Marine here. I had someone try to tell me he was a former Marine too, got out because of an injury he said. I asked him what his MOS (military occupational speciality, for those not familiar with the acronym) was and he replied "special forces". T ....

Comment preview: Back in 2004, I was working at an Irish Pub. One Saturday during football season, a group of Marines came in. Really, really nice guys, in from out of town (there was a base a few hours away that they were doing some training at for a few weeks). Anyway, ....

Comment preview: I am not a fan of Tie Domi, but this story made me laugh... --- Quote ---Ken Campbell of the Toronto Star wrote a good a story about Domi as told to him by a former Leaf teammate. It seems a couple of Leafs found themselves chin-to-chin with a half-dozen M ....

Comment preview: This happened in a class this semester. I was sure this guy was a model, turns out he's an ex marine. We were grouped together for a project and he kept saying things like, "Why can't we be friends? Why don't we hang out?!". I didn't know if he was teasing ....

Comment preview: OK. I am looking for the best way to say this and not be a dick but here goes.. As a Former Active Marine myself (there are no *ex Marines, you of all people should know), I find your lack of professional pride disturbing. When I joined the Marine Corps it ....

Comment preview: Not as "interesting" as it is "weird"...In our barracks there was a payphone near the duty hut. For a few months in 99/00 a woman would call almost every night, and want to talk to whatever Marine who answered, which usually was the Marine on duty. She' ....

Comment preview: Former Marine Corps here. You are assigned in MC recruit training 3 to 4 Drill Instructors per platoon. The nicknames for them goes with their observed responsibilities by the recruits (I can't speak for the DIs as I wasn't one). They are: Senior Drill Ins ....

Comment preview: My dad decided to get a new car a few years back. Since I had just graduated college, he figured he would trade in my truck and give me his since I have always loved it. He had been in the day before to negotiate the price and try out cars, and taken one ....

Comment preview: Another Marine here- I can echo this sentiment, but I won't call myself an ex-marine. I can't. It's part of who I am. I've grown my hair, a beard, and done everything I can to separate myself. I don't mention it in passing, but it still comes out in the wa ....

Comment preview: A) "Black belts" mean jack shit. 1) Just because guns are used. .000000000002% of the time DOES NOT mean they are *useless*. I find it more likely that a weapon is presented in self-defense and the asshole trying to rob/ steal/ harm you will turn 360 degre ....

Comment preview: I have *definitely* experienced gaslighting. I had an ex (a Marine) who would pretend he couldn't understand what I was saying, tell me I was slurring my words, and accuse me of having been doing heroin while he was in the bathroom, all while I was not int ....

Comment preview: When I was in 6th grade my principal was an old ex marine. A real hard ass, expected kids to behave like soldiers. He would regularly ask kids to put the gloves on in the gym to box him. One day I said something to piss him off in front of a bunch of peopl ....

Comment preview: **PREFACE** I'm not a hacker, social hacking (social engineering/manipulating/etc...) is not computer hacking. People keep asking me to teach them, literally google whatever you want to know and it's there. I also was not a certified PI. I was a dude onlin ....

Comment preview: What a terrible situation. You have a right to be emotional, and you will be sad for a while. The good news is that you have several things to take your mind off of the pain: 1) Your child! Here is a bottomless source of love that you can put your time and ....

Comment preview: I was roommates with this guy I had never met (He was serving in Iraq). My "friend" vouched for him and we signed the lease to get a place before the school year started. During the year I date and later break-up with this girl. Later, I end up making o ....

Comment preview: > The thing is though, he can be the sweetest guy ever, and when he is, I do everything for him... make dinner, clean his house, little sex kitten, all of it. It's stupid to me that Terpers think this kind of behavior gets them anywhere, cuz when Shawn ....

Comment preview: Framing anti-immigration as a workers' rights issue is an incredible PR coup from the Front National. Jean-Marie le Pen never really took it that way, except in a "dey turk ur jerbs" kind of way. Marine le Pen went one step further, portraying it as a conc ....

Comment preview: My dad sailed with the U.S. Merchant Marine and was attacked by pirates twice. Once off Kenya and once off the Philippines. The first time the pirates were more burglars in dugout canoes who ran off as soon as they realized the crew discovered them. Th ....
