GI humor
 

How do you tell if a guy is in the Army or Marines?

Walkup to him and shout "hooah!" If he breaks your nose, he's a Marine.

explain? :orly:

The Army uses "Hooah" as an affirmation ("Hooah Sergeant!"), a spirit-booster ("HOOAH!"), an understanding ("Hooah!") , a compliment ("You're pretty hooah!"). it's somewhat lame, but also damned near unavoidable. It's used OFTEN.

The Marines say "Oo-Rah!" instead, often having the same meaning, but at least sounding almost fierce.

This is another on-going point of ribbing between the two services.

As demonstrated here:



Yes, I know they're not real marines.

Ya know, I was actually going to be a Marine, but the recruiter told me I had too many braincells and not enough output from my salivary glands. :D

"Hooah, Sergeant! Airborne!"

Airborne, airborne, airborne... Jesus, becoming a paratrooper means "Hooah!" and "Airborne!" become universal words that replace 90% of articles, pronouns, and adjectives.

If you need a translation...you're probably not of the male gender... :)

bwahahahaha!

Nice tents. Looks like Kuwait? Or outside B-dad?

I actually do not know. An ex-coworker has a son in the military, for the last few years the only thing he knows is that his son is "in country". He sends me pictures, this was one (but from a while back, so it may have been Kuwait for all I know).

Me? Just a person who is extremely grateful for all the current- and ex- military service types out there (that means you Crompsin, and any others on the board and abroad...)

Don't be grateful. Send baby wipes. And porn.

Speaking of humor... near the end of my last catbox excursion (Afghanistan), my salty but good-humored platoon sergeant tried a subtle tactic out to get us disenchanted junior NCOs to reenlist after going nearly a year without seeing women by placing centerfolds with reenlistment oaths on our bunks. Didn't work but I did welcome the pretty set of legs.

what i loved getting sent is those popsicles. the POP-ICE ones, or the otter-pops.

put it in our cooler the night before, and then in the morning time, they had frozen over.

we got alot of cut ones tho.. /cry.

Meh, we have baby wipes coming out our ears. Porn is good though... or video games... We get so many care packages each week that it's amazing we aren't all 300 pounds and dressed in Armani.

Well screw you, too! :D I'll take some baby wipes. Those things feel awesome after T-rats.

Lucky bastard. I didn't get dick when I was deployed! Except divorce papers.
