Alpha males party hard. This surprises no sentient humans.

Our university / think tank PhDs are another matter.

There were Marines all over the place in the morning, but I had several witnesses that affirmed that I had, as ordered, made sure every one of them had at least two beers.

Do you think that maybe, because he was a Mustang, he actually meant two beers MINIMUM? He got the officers out of the way and with your supervision you could let the troops rip.

Concur, but we did take the #2 spot, and during my 24 years in the U.S. Navy, I did my best to drink, f**k, and smoke (cigars) my way around the world. “A girl in every port, and a port in every...well, you know.”

[M-cubed]

I have oddly ever known 2 PHDs with a lick of sense and one was a woman

[mylife]

All against the law now.. :(

[right way right]

Don’t the US Marines always lead the way?

[OldMissileer]

Army fies them too.

Nifty kite

The Army does not have A-10s. They have mostly rotary wing aircraft. Their only fixed wing aircraft is the C-12 Huron.

Another taxpayer funded shrimp-on-a-treadmill boondoggle study, brought to you by the brass hats at Fort Ridiculous (The Pentagon). Their findings: The Marine Corps has a higher percentage of young men than the other Services, and they drink, copulate, and smoke at higher rates. I’m shocked, shocked...

[laplata]

Yep.
It’s amazing how big WW II was.

[FoxInSocks]

Semper fi, Marines!

[atc23]

Faculty Lounge Lizards like Miss Obama want the Marine Corps to be more like the Air Farce - all FUBAR

Yabbut, all those sex partners were of the opposite sex.

Navy and AF results not available.

[nickedknack]

Haha, still have the first “permission night off” paper for the first, uh, hostess, I met at a Magsaysay bar/nightclub — during Marcos and martial law. After earsplitting music & noise, used to go to the Cork Room...quiet & cool...for pizza and an ice cold San Magoo.

Me and another Marine, who is now a very famous public figure (all FReepers know him), were in a rifle company sent to Subic Bay in 1986. Talk about no morals. Every verb with "ing" at the end. Savage debauchery. I think we averaged 7 STDs at sick call every morning, but I'm fuzzy on that detail. I do remember the company 1st Sergeant got his bore punched. Our corpsman said the officers were given private sick call in their hooches so that they would not be seen by the enlisted men at sick call.

We were the only rifle company returning to Okinawa in anyone's memory that didn't undergo a the mandatory Division's urinalysis after deployment to the Philippines. Word got back to the battalion and regimental HQ (through back channel) that they would lose an entire company, to include its officers and staff NCOs if we returned directly and were tested. So we were sent to Range Company, Mount Fuji, Japan for the winter to dry out and get the THC out of the blood stream.

At Fuji, we converted a quonset hut into a company all-ranks club and christened it with a toga party. But the drugs and various venereal diseases were dealt with.

So yeah, the culture runs deep, probably fueled from the horrors of Vietnam, Korea, and WWII.
