When I was in the navy there was a group of marines training onboard me ship. I was near the bridge so the top of the ship and a group of marines stopped me and asked, “is engineering up here? Isn’t this where the motors are?” I think of this when I see dumb marine comments.
I led a platoon of army and one marine through the French Foreign Legion Desert Commando Course in Arta Beach, Djibouti. Guess which special one of us could barely swim? Dude was a real good dude, though. Hispanic from a big city. So that’s likely why he didn’t swim well.
Would you really prefer a CAS pilot who didn’t get a full night’s sleep to be in charge of which hill to drop a JDAM on when you are on the hill next to the enemy?
The answer, of course, is that every grunt knows this already. It’s mostly just pogs who make these kind of jokes seriously.
Even Airmen need comic relief. They aren’t envious, they’re fascinated by the grunting and throwing rocks. Having a young Marine in an Air Force unit is like inviting the janitor to take part in a theoretical mathematics class. (Yeah, a Good Will Hunting reference).
i worked with the marines when i was in the air force as a jet mechanic. i once had to tell a marine "righty tighty, lefty loosey" because they could tighten a screw properly. they probably had him sit in the corner or something away from work.
I was a medic in the army, can confirm marines will very much surprise you with what they’re capable of. They’re human versions of an ogre lol so many times they came in with punctures from practicing throwing knives or some equally dumb shit.
Just keep a jumbo box of crayons around and you’ll be safe
Army medic here too.
There’s some fun back and forth that can get pretty insulting for the ones that take it seriously. My advice is don’t take that shit too seriously. At the end of the day, I have much love for US Marines, and what they are capable of. Even their cooks shoot expert.
I worked with a proud one that was about 5 feet tall. The way he did not matter at work really bothered him. He would take the chance to announce his service at any given moment, relevant or not.
Most of the people at work were rich, college educated, tall men and women that did not care. It was cingy to watch it play out over and over again.
Living in the same city as a marine base and tons of these dweebs around is fucking exhausting. Cool lifted truck, Skylar! - No one

The “airforce are so soft” jokes always get me.

Pogs arguing with other pogs about “lethality” 🙄
You can almost smell the cherry’s
Nothing more intimidating than an marine supply NCO

A lethal threat?
Yes a lethal threat that pays 35% interest on a 10 year old car no less.
Or 18.9% on a 10 year loan for a $90,000 Ram Truck
What about the Camaros?!
Dude's getting ready to show them how many crayons he can eat.
A Marine can down a 64 crayon box WITH the sharpener. Everyone else tops out at the 8 primary color box.
Rah

Did you have to right "L" and "R" on the corresponding hand as well? Never been in the service, just a hopeful armchair comedian.
I had a marine boss who was actually pretty cool. He even let me tease him about crayons.
