moosey-art:

Tucker: the 4/C who said the lieutenant’s dick was “research submarine-sized” like we were supposed to know what that meant

Caboose: the 4/C who called the gunnery sergeant “master general”

Church: the 3/C who ordered a pizza to the unit the night before finals and got into a screaming match with the delivery lady outside in the dark at 0200 when it came 6 hours late.

Sarge: the gunnery sergeant that threatened to rip off a 4/C’s thumbs

Grif: detailer who was supposed to be grilling us on our rates during indoc but instead asked me what a B7 was in the vending machine downstairs. when I answered “nutter butter, sir” he made me do 10 push-ups because “I’M ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS!”

Simmons: the only 4/C who could roll his NWU sleeves correctly and memorized the entirety of the code of conduct on the first day.

Donut: my friend’s RA who’s not in the military but hugged the battalion commander out of panic when he met him.

Lopez: girl who quit NROTC but had signed up to room with a 4/C kid at uni so she made the kid’s life hell for a year.

Tex: the only female Marine Corps option in the battalion who was gone during my first week but every time we asked about her the only thing people would say is “she is a goddess.” the first time we finally saw her was when the CO congratulated her for breaking the Marine Corps OCS obstacle course world record over the weekend.

Washington: detailer who was screaming at the company to go faster during a cadence run, but then leaned over and gently whispered encouragement to a 4/C who was struggling.

Carolina: dude who ran an 8:30 mile and a half and kept going for 3 miles with the Marine options because it looked fun.

Doc: the medic who when we asked how she got the title “Doc” replied “they trained me in CPR two days before you arrived”
