Because it Builds Character Dammit!

Being in the Marine Corps is alot like being a teenager. You get an allowance, you seldom have to make any important decions for yourself, the food sucks, all your medical and dental and housing bills are paid for you, and your "parents" love charecter building exercises.

For example: Most "newish" buildings on Mairne bases (seldom will you find an actual new building) have no-strip, no-wax decks (floors). These are installed so all you have to do is hot mop the bitch once and again and it will shine. Well the Mairne Corps and the Navy have long traditions of swabbing and buffing decks so, goddamnit, you're going to strip and wax those decks. Not because you have to but because its what Marines do. Of course this destroys the protective coat on the top of the decks and causes the glue to come up from the tile and make the entire thing look like ass. Not to mention the fact that within a few hours of being used they go to shit again anyway.

It's so bad I had a buddy back on Futenma that actually got a USMC tat with a Marine buffing a deck below it. He put this on his body, mind you. Christ. Ask any Lance Corporal, PFC or Private what skills he took away from his beloved Corps and he'll tell you that he's a badass motherfucking janitor. OORAH Marine Corps.



I have to be up in 5 hours to go for a PMO-wide moto-run at Parris Island and I'm way to tired for this stupid shit. Lo-Right-a-Lay-Uh.
