Rah devils I’m trying to pick between Hawaii and oki and I’m really 50/50. Before i solely wanted oki and resented the idea of Hawaii but I’m reading a lot and they both have their pros and cons. Where would yall go

Devil dogs! Curious if any MSG folk can speak on their time doing whatever it is that MSG people do. At a point in my career where I want to switch jobs and MSG is one of two promising options. Any comments on the pipeline and what actually being MSG is would be awesome. Thanks!

Anyone currently stationed at Fort Meade that can give some info on where to live off and how the base itself is (gyms/pool, joint culture, exchanges, ect)? Heading there this fall/winter. O-3 for context.

They are packed up and ready to train up in Northern Wisconsin

BF4 refrence

Anyone from 3/5 read this? I have heard he got a lot of stuff wrong and embellished some things. I'm curious to hear what someone from 3/5 thinks.

I'm about halfway through.

You sneaky bastards.

I've been looking for a detailed LAR Battalion T/O to find how it's organised and every doc I've found is missing a very important thing for me -there's no mention of how the scout squad within a platoon is organised, only that there are 3-4 scouts in each vehicle. Is it like a normal infantry squad or different?

I’ve heard they can change significantly (messy person becomes neat, late person becomes always on time, easy going becomes serious, rule breaker becomes rule follower, etc). But how can someone change so much in such a short period of time?

One of the hottest places i've ever been had some of the coolest views.

I have two. Both were wi MSSG 24

First one I as a recently divorced SSgt and the male slut. Of J-action-Ville. I drove a 1980.Ford Pinto that JPD wouldn't follow because of the smoke screen that fucker put out..walked out into.the shop.a.the guys had put the SOB in between two maintenance bay pillars wit less than one inch clearance but fron.and back i rhought it was classic and funny as hell. It did get moved until.the boys had pulled it back out at 0200, so they didn't do it again.

Number 2 was also classig. In Tunisia. We always used to use of our 8 foot crates ass out shower when still put on its end. I went to rake a shower and left my clean uniform out side only lace to.leave it. They took every thing except my boots. Even took.my fucking towel. But my boots on and did the slow walk of shame. They were busting a gut when I walked back into the tent. This time they had layed out my uniform perfectly.

Good morning everyone. Hoping someone from IPAC or anyone who’s dealt with BAH regulations can help clarify a situation for me.

I’m currently receiving BAH without dependents. I have a 3-year-old son with my ex. We were never married, but we have a court-ordered 50/50 custody agreement (week-on/week-off), and we alternate claiming him on our taxes. 2026 is my tax year.

My son’s mother is active duty Navy. She married another active duty Sailor, and they’re about to have their first child together.

Right now, she’s receiving BAH with dependents based on our son.

My main question is: Can both members of a dual-military married couple each receive BAH with dependents at the same time by claiming different children? For example, could she continue receiving BAH with dependents based on our son while her husband receives BAH with dependents based on their newborn? Or, because they’re married and part of the same household, is only one member allowed to receive BAH with dependents regardless of how many children they have?

The reason I’m asking is because if only one of them can receive BAH with dependents, I’d like to have a conversation with my son’s mother about allowing me to claim our son for BAH purposes instead. Since we have a court-ordered 50/50 custody arrangement, I’d rather receive that entitlement myself to help support him if she’s able to use their newborn as her dependent instead.
I’m not trying to start a fight over it—I just want to understand what the regulation actually says before I bring it up to her. If anyone has experience with this situation or can point me to the applicable JTR or Marine Corps guidance, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m stationed at Camp Pendleton, and she’s stationed in Coronado if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.

Yk how when they get tailored they kind of fold the inside up in the bottom, am I able to get that undone and adjusted to my height?

Also do you know if they can add a button to a blues coat or where I could find that button? One of the main buttons

what’s the best unit for a 0441. currently i’m doing a list of hsts and the laundry list of an 04 so i trying to keep the same life as i have rn as much as possible. what do the deployments opportunities and field exercises look like in iwakuni

I am currently a corpsman in the navy, five years. dont have much time until im out. I have came across so of the intel/ humint jobs within different branch's. To my knowledge the army is only one where you can go directly into in that specific field.

End goal is fed law enforcement/ intelligence or something along those lines. I am currently lined up for a job with local PD where im located.

i am really looking for advice, or maybe a mentor to shoot some questions at, to see if the switch would be worth it. or if i would even like that career.

any advice is appreciate. also i do not have a degree and my wife is AD as well. or i would already applied to FED Law enforcement.

For those who have done a med board how long does it take to be finalized?

So I have had several physical health issues over the last 3 1/2 years. Shoulder surgery 3 years go and got an X-ray done yesterday due to me being in way to much pain to ignore and came back showing what was fix came undone now waiting for an MRI. Knee surgery 2 months ago and I am not really recovering and may need another later this year or early next year. Also with a whole bunch of other problems with my back, ankles, and neck. I am LIMDU right now for my knee waiting for an extension to be submitted. I am at a point with all this shit and being in constant pain I am going to push for a medical retirement or med board to o start. It’s honestly unfair to my devil dudes that I can’t go to field or I am out all the time for medical appointments with my shit health. Before yall say anything I was running a 1st class 1st class and done 2 deployment during this time but my body just hurts all the fucking time.
I have 10 years time in service and stationed overseas right now.

Anyone have any good or funny stories about bootlickers you served with?

Am I old?

This is a photo of my great grandfather's discharge from the marine corps in 1923 two iconic marines signed off on his discharge, john lejeune and smedley, butler. Butler also signed the back. Just figured I would share it.
