 Jarhead... Sir, I got lost on the way to college, sir! Even though I joined the Army Jarhead, really has the feel of my experiences when I went through Infantry OSUT, Airborne School and was assigned to 3/504th PIR 82nd Airborne. Love this movie! |

You were a highly trained scout sniper that went on top secret missions by yourself to only be foiled by a douche bag officer who wanted to blow up a building in Iraq while you sat there and cried like a baby back bitch?
That was your experience?

Hell no, the hazing and the attitudes all around. Whoever the military advisor was on this movie, nailed the combat arms experience. |

<--- USMC 1/2 Wpns Co '91-'95
We had a guy that went to Ringling Bros. Clown College. Straight up, serious as shit, clown college. This guy was an awesome juggler. He would entertain the kids in Somalia by juggling bayonets, loaded mags, water bottles, etc... One day, our Lt found out about clown college, so he called him over. "What were you going to do with a degree from clown college?" "Well sir, it IS an accredited college, so I figured I could become a Marine Corps officer."

Somehow I don't buy that the plt leader, plt sgt and all the Marines were shooting into the air with celebratory gunfire at the end of the gulf war.
The author/protagonist is a whiny little bitch. Who gets that tore up about Jody? It's like the author took every sea story he ever heard and made it into a movie. |

About three weeks after I had arrived at USMC basic, one of the regular screw ups in my company again screwed up. Our Sgt instructor asked him "what is wrong with you, Don't you want to be a Marine?" Now admittedly I had only been in for about three weeks, and there was a lot I did not know, but I instantly knew that "Not any more, Sir" was not the correct answer.
I had a hard time not laughing then, and even decades later, I still think it was funny as hell. The instructor's reaction was what you would have expected. But it sure took a lot of heat off the rest of us for a few days...until they could get rid of him. |

Jarhead, the book, was the dumbest goddamn thing ever written about the US Marines. There is better content written on blue-plastic shitter walls in Sharpie than you'll find in that POS book.
The goddamn movie by the same name is an unmatched festival of retardery. OP, I hope you were really drunk when you watched it... 'cause its fucking stupid and you should feel bad. |

I was a Sgt in the same task force as the guy that wrote jarhead. His BN C.O. was my company C.O. in a previous unit.
I've never read the book or watched the movie. Guess I should get around to it one of these days. |

It isn't made up...it was at our first bivouac, and he had laid his rifle down without having anyone watch it, and it got scooped up. The interchange followed him being chewed out for not taking care of his rifle. The DI told him to walk ten paces behind the rest of the company until they could get rid of him. It only took a couple of days for the paperwork to get rid of him processed. |
