I was at least a LITTLE self-aware. My [still pretty gawdamn boot] attitude was, "Man, if someone gives me shit and I get in a fight I better represent and kick their ass. I just hope they are 20 pounds lighter and WAY worse at fighting than I am."
Nevermind that in my preceding 18 years I'd been in exactly ONE fistfight, all the way back in 5th grade. Not sure why I thought knives might be coming out for me all of a sudden.

When I went into the Corps I was shocked by how many guys had never been in a fight ( or only one or 2) . I remember at the age of five my dad and my uncle would put me, my younger brother and my cousins in the back of a pickup truck and we would beat the shit out of each other for a quarter. Every school year it was rare to get through it without at least three fights,, either in class, in the playground or on the bus. Not to mention fighting with siblings at home.

Your old man raised you right, you just don’t see that anymore these days. Generation of soft pussies.

That sounds highly illegal

It would be now. Those were the days of " Mutual Combat" even among School Kids. Was nothing for kids to get boxing gloves for Christmas and go to their friends house and thrown down in the basement or back yard.

With all due respect. Having kids fight each other for change seems like questionable parenting.
I spent some time in a trailer park as a kid so I ain’t judging but ya know

Dude my cringy ass wrote letters to my friends in boot camp bragging about learning how to do blood chokes and eye gouges in tan belt training like I was hot shit.
The only eyes I have poked are my own.

I’ve tried to poke someone’s eyes out. Nothing like the demonstration.

Some other recruit in my platoon asked after getting our tan belts “do we have to declare our fists as weapons at airports now?”
I have never seen anyone with quite the look our DI gave that guy. It was a beautiful mixture of pity, hopelessness, rage, and incredulousness that anyone could be that dumb.

I was a straight motard outta boot camp 🤣 once I got to the fleet in shit smelling 29 palms things got different. Fuckin lake bandini fumes man… they change you

They really need to stop selling "I am the weapon" shirts.

Pffft. Basic is nothing. You can’t call yourself a purveyor of death until you complete a whole 19 days of Marine Combat Training.
You must not be taking a stance correctly
Shit. My MCT was only 17 days so we could finish before Christmas. From once a Marine to never a Marine :(
Ya get outta here killer, try 30😎
