Fleet Marine Life #114 – Birthday
Today is the Marine Corps Birthday.
It’s surprising to find that some Marines would actually prefer duty than go to the Marine Corps Ball. The ball isn’t THAT bad. Usually you have to go to the ball or else go on a working party.
Marine Corps Balls usually consist of wearing your dress blues (Or Service Alphas for the cheap skates), singing the Marine Corps hymn, saying Oorah a lot , and drinking enough alcohol to get sent to the nearest hospital to get one’s stomach pumped.
I remember on one Marine Corps ball, I had a chat with the platoon drunkard. He was plastered and this was before the whole ceremony even began. He had his dress blues collar undone and couldn’t stand in one place for too long without tipping over.
K : Are you okay?
PD : I’m good. I’m good. I’m good.
K : Are you sure? You can go home if you want. It’s better than starting a incident.
PD : I’m good. I’m good. I’m just pissed.
K: Why are you pissed?
PD : I’m pissed because some nigger told me that I was unsat.
K : Umm… Who?
*PD points in a general direction*
K : The Sergeant Major…?
PD : Yeah, that nigger.
K : Please don’t call him that.
Fortunately, there were no incidents.
Existing through an act of Congress since 1775.
lmao, I love how Shitbag Steve still wears the tiny hat except in white.
I never went to a ball, each time I was training or just didn’t go. I’m in afghan for this one
Ain’t missing much bro.
blues are required now since this year we got a little extra to buy them with uniform allowance and yea I skipped out on the ball bought the 50 dollar ticket and didn’t go instead drank at the barracks with another marine the true way to celebrate
That sounds pretty depressing…..
Did he give you a reach around?
Blues, what a stupid, useless uniform. So glad I never bought them. Went to 2 balls. Both times in Alphas.
In the last panel it looks like the SNCO is fingering his ass.
I was going for the “scratching his ass” look but I guess that works too.
He’s making room for the green weenie.
Unlike the rest of us, he enjoys that weenie!
