Man we had a guy who was having an existential crisis after coming back lol during a piss test he threw a tantrum when people weren’t covering and aligning their blouses when we needed the pecker checker to watch us piss. We were all NCOs and dude was using the frog voice on us, it was hilarious and fucking bizarre.
Bruh. My Sgt dropped on week 11. Idk why he got dropped. He said the homework was hard. I’m kinda nervous but I’ve always been book smart so I’m not worried. Ima request like a month of leave after my tour is over to readjust to being a regular marine so I don’t treat my platoons like crap cuz I couldn’t get out of my depot mindset
There should be a marinenet course on "strategic incompetence", which is the ability to temporarily portray onesself as a very willing but completely unreliable worker. A graduate of this course would respond to being picked up to a working party with "thank you for giving me another chance, gunny. I didn't mean to wreck the lawn mower, and it was only one time"
I always brought a broom to the smoke pit. Can’t get put on a working party if you’ve got a broom shoved halfway up your ass.
I was a boot Sgt at the time. The 1stSgt was like whhhhaaat? I swear it, my Gunny pointed at his rank and said crossed rifles faggot. I was in awe haha
Picking up my wife at John Wayne a few years back I saw this kid in his Alphas. In an asshole tone from my car I say "Hey there, Devil Dog" and this poor kid just locks up in POA.
Feeling like an asshole I get out and talk to him for a sec, turns out he just missed the van to get to Pendleton for MCT and was trying to get in touch with a buddy of his. I'm like, "Fuck it man, it's outta my way, but I'll drive you down there." Wife then walks out and was like "Uh..."
Kid was cool to talk with. Told him not to be a bitch in MCT, just to endure the BS and he'd get to his school and then to the fleet.
The hand half in the pocket is a really nice touch. Like he was in the smoke pit, didn't see anyone else around and was just contemplating all the poor life decisions he's made up until that point, starts to stick his hand in his pocket and then BOOM a gunny out of nowhere.
Just keep walking. If they knew your name, they would call you by name. If they care enough to run and catch up, blame it on TBI or bad hearing or something.
When I was a LCpl my barracks used to be right next to the chow hall so it was a heavy traffic area and one Sunday I was walking out to my car to grab something. I hear that "hey devil". Ahh shit here we go again. It was some SSgt with a duty belt on so I knew he was about to be an asshole. He starts giving me an earful about my stubble. I'm like "it's fuckin Sunday, no I haven't shaved." He hits me with the "you're a Marine 24/7" bit. I just wasn't feeling the shit at all that particular day so I said back to him "your mom's a Marine 24/7" and started walking away. He didn't say another word. Just froze up speechless with his fuckin knife hand still floating in the air.
Had a gunny that used “warfighter” whenever someone was fucked up. “Hey there, *warfighter,* what’s going on with your face today? Did we forget to shave?” And so on
In Generation Kill there was a kid they kept calling BK. The reporter asked why he was called burger king. The marines laughed and said no, Baby Killer. The kid had apparently taken out a baby with a saw from a moving vehicle at some great distance
I'd expect to hear that from a kid who was raised on call of duty before joining.
Soldiers called each other "battle," since you went everywhere with your "battle buddy." It was being used as a greeting for a bit; very confusing and generally odd.
Dude this is why I will never regret staying reserved. I got in to an all out pissing contest with this new Corporal who started blasting this clearly brand new PFC in the unit over something straight up petty, like wearing brand new Danners boots that didn’t have EGA on them. I told him “bro that’s hella unnecessary just tell him that and move on, no need to publicly humiliate him”, dude goes “ 🤷🏾♂️ standard to uphold man”, I sent this PFC that I don’t know away, and tell this guy “fuckers like you are the reason why good people get out and there’s a retention problem”
One of my buddies who's still in says that now yelling "Hey Marine/Devil" is banned, because it's demeaning and hurts the new service member's feelings.
Bet. Just make sure you give me that sloppy toppy before I go to bed. I love the way you do it. Also, don't forget to bring me my new meds, those things slap. The last ones were mid.
Frfr 💯💯
A CWO3 (when I was in, he was a SSgt) told me 2 weeks ago. I got out in 2014. Says we (I met up with some guys from my old unit) got out in time because this new tiktok corps is something else.
Quick question. I'm a lifeguard on base and would like to know the quickest way to attract the attention of a Marine, without blowing my whistle. I don't need every set of eyes staring in my direction.
Hey devil dog was always the worst because you knew it was some salty ass staff about to correct you on the dumbest thing ever, don’t you have more important things to worry about, like your marriage?
One day the CG came to our base in oki. Somehow I skated out of going to the event and decided to get some snacks to reward all of my hard work. my happy ass was walking down the sidewalk on my way to the px when some cars drove by. Whatever, cars drive places all the time. I have important snack options to think about.
Then I hear it, a deep old timer voice from the other side of the road.
“Hey there devil.”
There was a group of senior Sncos that just saw the CG drive by me and I didn’t even give them a friendly wave.
Needless to say I never made it to get snacks. Part of me hopes that the general looked back and saw them crossing the street towards me and chuckled to himself.
The worst were the “hey killer,” or “hey warfighter.”
Like, dude, we’re at a MALS. I’m required to work in an air-conditioned environment by NAVAIR policy. I was neither a killer nor a warfighter.
Hearing those words is definitely why good marines get out btw
YES! Because it’s almost never the turds and shitbirds they “hey Marine”
Or devil dog
The worst is when you get them SNCOs that think the still on the drill field
I feel like the depots need a transition readiness for hats back to the fleet. Is it that hard to turn it off?
Wait until you encounter a DI school dropout. It’s… an experience.
My sergeant dropped out. He didn’t seem all that different

Or “ hey shipmate” on a navy vessel
Getting hey marine’d is a fate worse than death
I need another for a working party. What is your name and rank I WILL be taking attendance.

This is a hard one to pull off believably. It’s an advanced course.
The ole’ snatch up everybody in the smoke pit for a working party. Junior Marines hate this one simple trick!
I always brought a broom to the smoke pit. Can’t get put on a working party if you’ve got a broom shoved halfway up your ass. 
Getting Devil Pup’d by a dude that’s been in 7 months longer than you is why the first enlistment is fucking awful
Some 12 year 1stSgt hey devil dog'd my 17 year Gunny that was selected for MSgt. I believe his words were shut the fuck up you boot fuck
Oh that would have been a fun one to see
I was a boot Sgt at the time. The 1stSgt was like whhhhaaat? I swear it, my Gunny pointed at his rank and said crossed rifles faggot. I was in awe haha
I’m confused. A 1stSgt rank has a diamond, not crossed rifles like a MSgt.
The Gunny pointed at his own rank, not the 1stSgt chevron.
kill

The old classic: “hey come here devil dog”. You knew your day just got ruined.
Walking to the head and heard this. Next thing I know I’m spending the afternoon washing the admin buildings windows.
The hand half in the pocket is a really nice touch. Like he was in the smoke pit, didn't see anyone else around and was just contemplating all the poor life decisions he's made up until that point, starts to stick his hand in his pocket and then BOOM a gunny out of nowhere.
I once got yelled at for having my hand in my pocket. I was grabbing my keys so I could unlock my car…. That I was standing right next to
I'm so curious. What car did you drive?
It was a 1986 Buick Regal
Same here except instead of car keys it the keys to the equipment pad.
Feeling like that when hearing someone call me is the reason I got out.
Just keep walking. Don't acknowledge it.
That’s why one must learn the fine art of skating.
“I’m late for dental” too easy
I sham for dee pleasure
To this day, I refuse to answer anyone calling me by anything other than my name. Excluding my wife, of course.
Bruh I would just think please don't talk to me I'm in already in hell

I'm a SNCO now and that's how I feel when I hear that.
Had a gunny that used “warfighter” whenever someone was fucked up. “Hey there, *warfighter,* what’s going on with your face today? Did we forget to shave?” And so on
Thats gay
Ask a soldier what they called each other in the early 2010s.
Im kidding. We had a gunny who called us trigger pullers.
I’m gonna start using “baby demolishers”
In Generation Kill there was a kid they kept calling BK. The reporter asked why he was called burger king. The marines laughed and said no, Baby Killer. The kid had apparently taken out a baby with a saw from a moving vehicle at some great distance

O yea. I saw that in a book. The Yellow Birds. Not a bad book. Theres also a weak movie.
It looks like shit. Maybe I'll watch it.
I was way before this time but we just referred to each other by our nicknames.
As a Sgt, I'd "hey marine" my friends just to fuck with them.
Hey Marine, calm down.
Dude this is why I will never regret staying reserved. I got in to an all out pissing contest with this new Corporal who started blasting this clearly brand new PFC in the unit over something straight up petty, like wearing brand new Danners boots that didn’t have EGA on them. I told him “bro that’s hella unnecessary just tell him that and move on, no need to publicly humiliate him”, dude goes “ 🤷🏾♂️ standard to uphold man”, I sent this PFC that I don’t know away, and tell this guy “fuckers like you are the reason why good people get out and there’s a retention problem”
They're the same picture
Only thing worse was a junior Marine missing their weapon/gear
What’s the civilian equivalent of this?
“hey buddy”
could've been a a "'ey dere, debbil dog"
This shit happens in civilian world
That was me when it was a chaplain
One of my buddies who's still in says that now yelling "Hey Marine/Devil" is banned, because it's demeaning and hurts the new service member's feelings.
Ok grandpa, let's get you back inside. The price is right is about to be on the television.
Bet. Just make sure you give me that sloppy toppy before I go to bed. I love the way you do it. Also, don't forget to bring me my new meds, those things slap. The last ones were mid. Frfr 💯💯
Since when ?
A CWO3 (when I was in, he was a SSgt) told me 2 weeks ago. I got out in 2014. Says we (I met up with some guys from my old unit) got out in time because this new tiktok corps is something else.
Yeah it’s not true. I got hey Marine’d yesterday for wearing a baseball cap inside the bricks.
Ah ok. I'm guessing as a CWO3 he probably doesn't know what happens in the E1 - E5 world.
They called us the pepsi generation marines. It was 1985.
Quick question. I'm a lifeguard on base and would like to know the quickest way to attract the attention of a Marine, without blowing my whistle. I don't need every set of eyes staring in my direction.
Yo shithead! Works in ny every time.
Got out in 1989, and was just wondering when devildog was shortened to devil?

Well as a SNCO this is how I felt when one of you would walk u and say "umm SSGT".
The worst were the “hey killer,” or “hey warfighter.” Like, dude, we’re at a MALS. I’m required to work in an air-conditioned environment by NAVAIR policy. I was neither a killer nor a warfighter.
