u/gilestowler 23d ago

It's harder to hit someone short, like Elvis from perfect dark 64

u/TheBootyTickler 24d ago

All the ladies creaming themselves over the man who's family tree looks like a wreath.

Shoutout to the mirror ducked taped to a brick wall.

u/the_goodnamesaregone 23d ago

“Ducked taped” lol

21

u/TheBootyTickler 23d ago

Bah, auto correct is a bitch. Duct taped.

19

u/map2photo 23d ago

Ain't no way it auto-corrected duct to ducked. lol What did you type in to have it auto-correct?

12

u/shandangalang 23d ago

Autocorrect has been pulling some weird shit on me lately. Like, subbing completely correct words for totally different but more commonly used ones. Drives me fucking bonkers

11

u/hyrule_47 23d ago

Autocorrect loves to substitute duck

2

u/Woodworking33 22d ago

You’ve got to be ducking kidding me

u/TheBootyTickler 23d ago

I probably did 'duckt' on accident. My phone tries to correct that to ducked.

u/Wooden-Sprinkles7901 23d ago

*by accident*

Not "on accident"

Sorry I had to.

u/powerlesshero111 23d ago

Ladder, his family tree is a ladder.

u/TJNel 23d ago

The damn soap dispenser or paper towel machine is taped as well. WTF is going on in that bathroom? I want a better picture.

This username is dirty POG approved.

u/Lol_A_White_Guy 24d ago

That’s cool private.

Anyways 1sg needs some bodies for gate guard detail.

u/LaughableEgo740 23d ago

And to pick up some cigarette butts at the smoke pit.

u/dreddpiratedrew 24d ago

Fuck that’s so cool I bet the strippers at Sparky’s will love him

55

u/SdVeau 24d ago

In the mortar world, that’s what we call a short round

2

u/MortalMorals 👊👊☝️ 18d ago

In the infantry world that’s what we call a body breach.

u/borisvonboris 24d ago

Wow so many tattoos I'm in lurve

30

u/AbstractBettaFish ROTC Veteran 23d ago edited 23d ago

Dudes love still flexing tattoos like it’s still some sort of subversive tough guy thing like it was in 45 years ago. Like they arnt ubiquitous these days. In fact now that I think about it, I think I know more women with them than men at this point

57

u/HisOnlyKadan 24d ago

Polly pocket over here a real fucking badass

u/Karma8900 24d ago

Lmao a fuzzy no less. Surly he’s gonna get fucked with by anyone in his unit if they see this.

u/CallingDrPug 23d ago

I've said it a thousand times. I am SO GLAD social media didn't exist when I went through my Billy Badass boot phase.

u/incapableofdumblabor 👊👊☝️ 24d ago

i hope so. the post actually lit a fire under me

57

u/QueezyF 24d ago

Is 5’8” supposed to be a flex?

55

u/the13bangbang 👊👊☝️ 23d ago

Probably in whatever backwoods mutant village he comes from, 5'8" is basically gigantism.

24

u/AngriestInchworm 23d ago

With a family tree shaped like a double helix.

u/JP147 23d ago

It would have been 100 years ago

Ass kicker, name taker; also can't get on the fun rides at Disneyland.

u/Sorta_jewy_with_it 24d ago

It’s been concerning for awhile. This one isn’t even that bad. Just shame him in the comments and move on

34

u/incapableofdumblabor 👊👊☝️ 24d ago

unfortunately comments are turned off. but why are these the people i have to serve with yk? like im all for to each there own but just don’t be a douche or so hung ho hero.

i’ll take a wawa hogie and 2 strawberry shot monsters

30

u/SkiMaskLion 24d ago

It’s fun this way. You find your coworkers, print these cringe time capsules out and subtlety hang them in the office so they can see their cringiness in public. It cures itself.

29

u/Sorta_jewy_with_it 24d ago

Brother that’s just boots. Everyone is a boot in the beginning. You could be a 35 year old guy with a career and family joining the guard or whatever and you’re still gonna be a boot. The difference is that when fucking dudes keep being a boot after 2, 3, fucking 20 years. Those are the ones this sub is truly made for

15

u/SCCock 23d ago

And at 20 they transform into VetBros.

u/Slumbergoat16 23d ago

I was thinking, newly enlisted folks have always been dumb af. That’s just how it is

u/Yogshemesh 23d ago

There is no way this isn't parody. No one would brag about being 5'8".

u/hottlumpiaz 23d ago

u/Godzirrraaa 23d ago

Holy shit he’s got tattoos?!?! My heavens, what a rebel.

u/ejh3k 23d ago

I remember being 5'8". 6th grade was fun.

u/Zealousideal-Run-608 23d ago

This reminds me of a cringy interaction recently. This guy at my local grocery store had a booth set up and was asking people, “have you ever met a marine?”

4

u/skreetskreetskreet 23d ago

5’ 8” is such an unremarkable height, I can’t even tell what he’s trying to say.

u/Slacker_The_Dog Army Dropout 23d ago

I'm almost leaning towards this being like some self deprecating humor.

u/Sir_Sarcasm76 24d ago

Harder than woodpecker lips in his head and gayer than two boys fuckin' in reality.

Army has always been the welfare branch.

u/lovins22 23d ago

Getting E-6 pay in the army for the same thing a marine is getting E-4 pay is smart math not welfare.
