Fleet Marine Life #2 – Day 1000
Usually when a Marine is fresh out of boot camp, he is highly motivated with his high and stupid (high and tight) and full of Oorahs and Semper Fis. Usually this is all he can say at this point. Then it evolves from that to Yut, Yut, Yut to Errrrs and finally to the point where nothing is said because of all the non-evolved Marines who usually say something (e.g Yut and Ers). And if a highly evolved Marine needs to respond, then that response will be an Er and only ONE Er.
Now as time passes, this highly motarded Marine will be withered down to a shell of his once former self. What withers such a Marine down? Well, you’ll have to find out in the future comics.

I love how his cover is all soggy.
I remember being in MOS school right after boot camp and EVERYONE was already counting down their EAS clock to the day! When you’re 18 years old, 3yrs 8mos and 12days seems like an eternity!
It’s always so funny to watch this happen. You see the boots day 1 in the fleet and they are moto stupid, and you slowly get to watch them become empty hollow shells. After awhile I hated moto bitches and enjoyed watching their hope die.
Haha so true, except for the time table. By my 8th month in, which was 2 months after graduating SOI, I already had the soul sucked out of my body. By the time I hit the 2 year mark I was an empty hollow shell of a man who looked forward to one of two things that could get me out of the marines: My EAS or my death.
