Plus me, wondering if "camouflage practice" is a real thing

[–]Hawkeye1226 19 points20 points ago

only if you are a sniper

[–]Ridderjoris 13 points14 points ago

I'm in recon and we do that too, it is however not as simple as camo practice. It's more like camouflage is a large part of every exercise, mainly because we are supposed to be unseen.

[–]Master-Thief 12 points13 points ago

Was this your training film?

[–]Ridderjoris 7 points8 points ago

Well, no. But in the real world it works like that. 6 People in enemy territory won't last long, and the chances of us going on recce to find intell on weapon systems far more powerful than ours is quite large (you don't use a tank to find out where they hid a machinegun, etc). The only advantage we have when embarked is the speed and agility of our recce vehicles. Besides our greatly increased capability to see and hide ourselves of course. Fenneks only provide cover against small arms fire.

[–]Strykar 1 point2 points ago

So how do you hide that vehicle? You just leave it far away from the enemy and walk, or is there something else?

[–]Ridderjoris 1 point2 points ago

It's only 1.8 meters high and only has a noticable infrared signature on the back. If you know your terrain you can get almost anywhere. In the cases we can't, it's left behind. We do the most of our exercises on foot (or they will just tell us it's "broken" and the mission is "vital", in many cases.)

      Lord Vetinari, ruler of Ankh-Morpork, the greatest city in the fictional world of the Discworld book series, was trained as an Assassin in his youth. He passed all his exams with flying colours, except one. Stealth. The instructor claim he never showed up, but anyone who has obtained the rare copies of Vetinari's own monograph on cutting edge concealment techniques, on the use of dark greens and browns, would know better than to believe that.

      [–]NYcop21 58 points59 points ago

      our old DI used to make us roll up our sleeves while we did push ups, our hands weren't allowed to leave the ground. it was funny to watch, not so fun to participate. Semper Fi brother.

      [–]Ace_Marine 49 points50 points ago

      Insults. You forgot the insults. Nobody in the world has such a vivid and expressive repertoire of pugilistic verbalisms as a DI under a full head of steam.

      [–]TheKillerToast 9 points10 points ago

      It is literally unbelievable it's like a Masters level class of shittalkology and folksy insults are part of the DI course.

      I would not make it into the military.

      I would've devised some method inside my uniform so I could reach down with my mouth and pull my contraption up, raising my sleeves. Just to be a smart ass. I would spend copious amounts of whatever free time I had devising the system.

      [–]Team_Khalifa 50 points51 points ago

      ...There's almost no free time. With the little free time you do have I bet that's not what you'd do.

      [–]sndzag1 51 points52 points ago

      Wank. You mean he'd wank.

      [–]Effthebitch 69 points70 points ago

      Dude. Wanking just doesn't happen in basic. You're tired all the time. You're sore. Your body is worn out. You're surrounded by dudes, the stench is often unbearable, and the best looking thing you've seen since you got there is a 350 pound black woman named Loquisha who works at the mini PX. Your peter simply retreats into your body for 2 months, cursing you for your life choices.

      [–]digitalscale 27 points28 points ago

      Never underestimate me my friend. Never.

      [–]Effthebitch 23 points24 points ago

      In all fairness, I did try once. Middle of the night, and as tired as I was, I couldn't sleep. Even dead silent in the bathroom stall, I couldn't even get it up. Which is weird, because truthfully, I could fap nearly anywhere. Just not there.

      [–]JackieCam 11 points12 points ago

      I masturbated in basic once. Exactly once.

      But I'm a chick so it seems easier to me for whatever reason.

      I've asked lots of my guy friends though, don't know anyone else who did.

      [–]oorahyutkill 3 points4 points ago

      Bull shit, I used to beat off in other platoon's 'rain rooms.'

      I had gear guard a lot because I could memorize all of the general orders n shit, so that's waht I'd do. Mark my god damned territory.

      First day, all the wannabe Romeos were waxing poetic about how hard it was for them to be away from women. I said "fuck that, I'm gonna miss jacking off more" and they all looked at me like I was crazy.

      You know what though? I was right.

      [–]Effthebitch 3 points4 points ago

      A guy named ButtFuckSlutsGoNuts just had a talk with me about jacking off. I don't know what to say.

      [–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point ago

      I rubbed several out. I spent 6 months in basic, fucking injuries.

      It was probably 4 months until I decided I had too. I had the wettest of all fucking dreams. Not fucking cool at all. Didn't want that to happen again. My physical therapist was hot, popping a boner with running shorts or sweat pants on was lame.

      I was in the 2nd platoon to be isued the marpat pattern uniforms. There were still people in the medical platoon with the old style blotchy camo when I left. I was glad I missed out on the boot shining.

      [–]Effthebitch 0 points1 point ago

      You know, I actually feel bad for those of you who missed the boot shining. It sucked at first, but once I learned how to do it well, it actually became something I enjoyed. It was a nice change of pace to be doing that rather than something that involved kicking our asses even more.

      [–]Team_Khalifa 0 points1 point ago

      I know a guy who wanked it on the first day. He was crazy

      [–]Effthebitch 1 point2 points ago

      I was 17 when I went to basic. Not gonna lie, I was too terrified to even consider it.

        Piece of string tied to each cuff, running up the sleeve, over the back, and around to under the collar.

        Start pushups, duck head down, pull string.

              Yup. I was in the band there. It was always amusing watching boots lose their shit whenever we'd do a Change of Command or Retirement on a sleeves-up base.

              [–]EvilGrimace 0 points1 point ago

              I honestly was not aware there were sleeve up/down bases - I recall visiting 29 Palms and people had sleeves up at the time, considering it was a season based thing. Then again, this was around 13 years ago.

              [–]240mikex 3 points4 points ago

              Corps has changed, I got out in 2009 before the ending of rolling sleeves and the start of the CFT...

              [–]MD_Lurker 1 point2 points ago

              Lol, meet @ the smoke pit for tape measure!

              Seriously though, isn't it pretty crazy how the Corps is changing? Been out for a few years now and it seems like it would be a different Corps if I went back in today. Like you said, no rolled sleeves, a new PT uniform, CFT? Iraq is pretty much over and Afghanistan is winding down. I wonder sometimes what a peacetime USMC would be like... probably more games?

              But I guess that's how all "old Corps" Marines feel, even if only a few years out; that's if we rate that title now.

              [–]odysseus88 4 points5 points ago

              Yeah RIP silkies. My junk doesn't spin around at PT nearly as much now.

              [–]Ridderjoris 1 point2 points ago

              In the Dutch army we had these PT shorts that were just horrible (discontinued last year)

              I later saw a picture of my step-dad (retired ltkol) from 1972 wearing the same shorts. Epiphany.

              its a vicious cycle, i wouldnt want to know what peacetime USMC would be like, i could barely stand garrison life

              [–]BaconBombThief 2 points3 points ago

              Nowadays, at least if you're a POG whose battalion just got back from our last Afghan deployment EVER, things are plummeting in a downward garrison spiral. Duty has to wear C's now, random unannounced field days happen on top of the weekly ones, everyone has to wear C's on the last Friday of every month. 1st sgt's are going through barracks more, and last week mine was unsatisfied and decided to make the NCOs field day the building, which led to all types of bullshit for the troops. And walking off of a sidewalk and on the grass in front of battalion hq is now spparently equivalent to digging up chesty's grave and giving him a titty twister. We'll be goose stepping to work every day in our A's in no time. There's never been a brighter light at the end of a tunnel than the EAS at the end of today's knife-hand gauntlet

              [–]EvilGrimace 0 points1 point ago

              I was a bit confused by all of this, as someone who got out in 2002. At this time, I think I saw someone wearing the digital cammies once or twice.

              [–]beanmosheen 1 point2 points ago

              We rolled our sleeves too. We where just as pissed off.

              [–]ShakeableHippo 0 points1 point ago

              The army ( at least the Canadian army) only rolls down their sleeves when they are out in the field. Source: I was a cadet.

                  [–]pridetwo 0 points1 point ago

                  True story, I was set on going to OCS my freshman year of college. It sounded like a great opportunity and direction for my career (I'm sure it still is to potential candidates), but almost all the way through the app process I realized military life just wasn't for me. I'm sure the recruiter I was working with was none too pleased when I told him I'd decided to pursue other opportunities as I was a good match on paper for the program, but I know people in the military and it just takes a different type of mentality to succeed there than I have.

                  No worries, when I went there I was expecting that they would have worn the campaign covers. The most i got to see of those was when one of our SI's brought his out of the hut to show us.

                  [–]odysseus88 4 points5 points ago

                  He's a sergeant instructor at OCS. It's all soft covers, no campaign covers.

                  [–]BizarroFrisbee3000 2 points3 points ago

                  This looks like OCS. Sergeant Instructors wear 8-points (soft covers) all the time there.

                  [–]ImaginaryPoliceForce 1 point2 points ago

                  This could be at OCS. They're referred as Sergeant Instructors instead of normal DI's. They wore the 8-point covers instead of the campaign covers.

                  [–]igobywill 1 point2 points ago

                  This has to be OCS MY Drill Instructors wore Campaign Covers the whole time. Only saw a soft cover during the Crucible and back to Campaign covers right after.

                  [–]hairydiablo132 0 points1 point ago

                  He could also be a DI in training perhaps? We had a few come "practice" on us. They all wore soft covers as they had not earned the Campaign Cover yet.

                  [–]Cephelopodia 0 points1 point ago

                  I don't think so in this case...I'd recognize that squadbay anywhere. I used to use those lowered portions of the ceiling to stretch my legs out. Looks like Quantico to me.

                    [–]Joshjelly[S] 5 points6 points ago

                    It was rather close. The drill instructor gave Smith a compliment. It could be confused as the drill instructor buying Smith a car.

                      Veteran here, if you use profanity or forget to utilize the proper levels of deference when speaking to a senior officer (field grade), you can count on your entire chain of command being shit on, and the shit just snowballs as it goes down the chain.. by the time it gets to you, you might as well just kill yourself.

                      If you're not a slacking moron they will secretly enjoy a little filth. With a littly smirk you will be told to do whatever the rest is doing, only it will sound like punishment. It is however not punishment.

                      If you are a slacking moron you will be told so, and then be told to do twice what the rest is doing. It will sound like punishment, which it actually is.

                      I'd never make it in the army. I have a real problem with authority telling me to do something impossible or telling me two different things that contradict eachother and then get mad at me when I try to do either one, or get pissed when I ask genuine questions then they tell me to sit down shut up and make me feel like an idiot. I get discipline, I took shodokan for four years, but some of the stuff you see COs do to their troops seems downright abusive.

                      Yeah, I don't see why they don't answer questions. You think they would want you to have a better understanding of the task at hand, but they always seem more keen on abusing their power. I wouldn't be able to take it, I've been taught "if you don't know ask", you should always know the why as well as the how.

                      there is a time and place for everything, you don't want people who are so accustomed to asking "but, why...?" every time you tell them to do something because when it really matters, peoples' lives are on the line. conversely, if you have a good supervisor they will tell you what to do in a way that you don't have to ask why (e.g. "take that fucking hill" vs. "we need to shut down that machine gun nest so 1st platoon can get through to the LZ")

                      [–]TheKillerToast 2 points3 points ago

                      I have always had problems with authority too but when I joined the Marines I knew from the second I went down to MEPS I wouldn't have a problem because I had a lot of respect for the Gunnys and SSgts there and especially when I was at boot, my SDI was insane.

                      This is us picking up our DIs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nZ_A_jWjpg

                      The gigantic white guy SSgt Webb got switched to another platoon in the first week for Spartan Kicking a recruit through the rack and than ITing him for being in his rack, was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

                      This photo is from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. I can't speak for other training pipelines, but at the school pictured, they do let you ask questions, as long as you do so in the proper protocol, and yes, they do want you to understand what's going on so you can think on your feet. They also want you to think clearly under pressure, hence the harsh treatment to see if you can do so. They do not want unthinking machines.

                        2. you were "bitch", "faggot", "retard", "motherfucker", "slut", "piece of shit", "hey you", "recruit", or "recruit something", where "something" was your last name if you were LUCKY.

                        One of the many reasons I'd be no good as an enlisted grunt is because I don't take people who yell at others seriously. It's not intimidating and all they get is a hoarse throat. And what if they have something important to articulate later on but can't? Silly, silly.

                        Here's something I was told, don't know how accurate it is, but it sounded good when he told it.

                        It's not "hoo-rah", it's HOOAH (this I know to be true), spelled HUA.

                        H : Heard
                        U : Understood
                        A : Acknowledged

                        The superior will shout orders, and to ensure the troops understood, he will shout "HUA?" to which a morale boosting "HUA" is the only possible answer.

                        It's a lot better than some of the superiors I've had that mae everyone answer "seen" as a form of knowledge acknowledgement.
