I'm here.
Good Afternoon Eric & Chuck
Eric, I was informed you were dead. Now you're on reddit giving orders. Get your story straight.
Somebody explain how a morale event became attempted murder by processed meat.
Ruiz, stop encouraging this bullshit. SECWAR, put your pants on. Chuck, stop inspecting his equipment. Marines, leave your buddy's wife alone.
Congratulations, Eric. You found the internet.
Assless chaps? Negative. Uniform is not authorized.
I've been called the Day Walker. You don't wait until I show up to get squared away. You get squared away because I might show up. I should not have to explain any of this. I know you'll be out of step even before you realize you're out of step. I feel it in my skin every time someone steps on a blade of grass they aren't supposed to.
Eric, if you're dead, stay dead. If you're alive, report for duty. Chuck, lets talk about your policies and how Ooh Rah as a greeting should be shit-canned.
Everyone else, unfuck yourselves.

Anyone else get permanent double vision after a TBI?
Mama warned us not to do that with our faces or they'd get stuck that way

Most Veterans Are Drinking Less... except for the prime GWOT-era age ranges, zero surprise there.

Chili Mac
Alright. Saw this at Kroger and had to try it out.
It was ok. Nothing special. Way too soupy I would have preferred more texture and thickness, like your dad.
I might get it again and throw some extra meat in there. But I think making it from scratch is going to be the best way to go.
4/10, maybe a 6/10 if you add your own flavor enhancement

Whats a better feeling than a random Marine walking by your Duty hut while you're preparing start your mighnight-0500 shift and he asks if you want anything from the PX

Found gear at BAS during ITX, might've made a mistake
So I want to preface this by saying I didn't steal anything, I salvaged it. There's a difference, and that difference is currently living a second life in an undisclosed location.
During ITX I was working a shift at the BAS, hot enough that I genuinely considered treating myself for heat casualty and having a good time with a silver bullet by myself, and there's just a plate carrier on the deck. No name on it, nothing. In my head there's only two options: either it's dead stock nobody wants, or some Marine walked off without it. Either way, in the field, unmarked gear operates under maritime law. Salvage rights. Look it up. Actually don't, I made that up, but it sounded right in the moment and that's really all the legal reasoning a I need.
I grabbed it, swapped my janky ceramic plates for the ones inside, because mine had cracked during an incident involving a rectal insertion procedure, duct tape, and engineer tape being used as a restraint, plus a questionable decision to use the tailgate as a bench in the middle of all that, a story I've had to keep consistent for three different people now. I'm not litigating that today either. Or ever, ideally.
Fast forward two days and I'm hearing through the grapevine that some Marine is calling around the BAS asking if anyone's seen his plate carrier, sounding increasingly like a man who just realized his rent check bounced. I did feel a little bad. But also, bro, if you're gonna leave your gear sitting out with zero identifying marks on it like you're daring the universe to teach you a lesson, you kind of forfeited your claim the second you walked away. That's not theft bro, that's Darwinism with a NSN number.
So now I'm sitting here wondering: do I say something, or do I just ride this out until the exercise wraps and quietly swap my old cracked plates back in, and let this become the ITX equivalent of a ghost story Marines tell each other?
