April 6, 2008 15 Years Without the Marine Corps
-and 19 years since I first went in.
My first unit was 7th Comm Battalion, a garrison unit. Garrison units rarely get deployed as a whole rather they exist to draw detachments from. Since the unit itself serves no purpose there is nothing to do in a garrison unit except busy work.
I don’t know if this is coincidence or what but when I got there about half of the WMs (Women Marines) in 7th Comm were pregnant. That means those kids are as old now as I was then. For their sake I hope they’re not in 7th Comm or anywhere else in the military.
So, you show up and suddenly half of the WMs are pregnant? I believe that’s a violation of the uniform code of military justice.

Obviously they’re trying to get their enlistment processed as soon as possible so that they can get pregnant at the MEPPS before they leave for bootcamp.

I still can’t imagine the Tone who said “Yeah, I want to be a Marine!”.

He was kind of a moron.

No worries. I was a 19 year old moron too. I think everyone has to be.
