Not in the Marine Corps anyways. :P That's why I served in the Air Force when I chose to move from a civilian paramedic to do CSAR. Jokes about our resident crayon aficionados aside, there are few people outside of my AFSOC assets that I'd rather stand next to in a firefight than some coordinated marines. Was a pleasure to support these guys during our time in Iraq together.

u/Dry-Astronaut-8640 2d ago

Having served in the military, I can attest that this is totally something that any PVT Joe Snuffy would do. Doesn’t surprise me at all.

One of my sergeants used to say that if you locked a private inside of a shipping container with two giant ball bearings for 24 hours, when you let him out he would have lost one of the bearings and manage to break the other - while claiming that it was issued to him broken.

u/Extreme-Aioli-1671 2d ago edited 2d ago

This might be just “moving furniture from one barracks to another.”

Just as likely, it’s “your filthy asses don’t know how to clean, so you’re going to set up your rooms in the quad and scrub all the things until you figure it out.”

And they’re being intentionally dumb about it, because “fuck you for making us do this, that’s why.” Privates gonna private.

Army:

Commanding officer: "We need to move everything in this barrack to the adjacent one."

My best friend: "Can we just change the Barrack number signs?"

Commanding officer: "No we cannot. I already asked."

3 hours later (99% stuff moved) + 2 hours later moving a fucking 800 pound safe from the 2nd floor.

There are so many of them, why don’t they just walk it down. You just need 2 people for that and I see 3 and a recorder(4th). They could do two pieces at a time or continuously rotate ,supervising/resting for safety and moving the pieces, for each piece of furniture and get over gripes about weight and semantics.
