We used to do "front leaning rest" for several minutes at a time. That is the "up" position of a push-up. They usually didn't let us stop until everybody had a pool of sweat under his nose.

Marines breakup French terror attack.

30 minutes ago it just said "Two Americans," and I thought "well, I bet they're marines."

They just updated the headlines to "Two marines"

He expressed "gratitude and admiration" for the Marines help.

Surprising. I would have figured - this being France - that the Marines would have been arrested and charged with something, too.

I'm not seeing mention of "marines" anymore, just college students. Were they or weren't they?

The most recent thing I read was "2 of 3" were servicemen.

I cannot identify services from pictures, but here you go:

But that looks like air force on the left? Army in the middle? National Guard?

Was going to say... it isn't like an active duty Marine to actually leave anyone alive.

:-D

I'm declaring this guy an honorary Marine since he put his gun right up against the scumbag's mother fucking mouth.

The Marines love the new SecDef, Mattis, a kill-crazy former Marine General.

SecDef just wrecked what I think was a CNN reporter at this ISIS press conference.

Topic was where and how US SF forces coordinate with local troops in gunfights. Mattis described it as "back of line in conceal + cover"
CNN reporter " but recently they lost XX Ranger who was reported to be 'alongside' partner forces?"
Mattis: Lady, patrols are unpredictable, these are dangerous places, our guys aren't in the business of selling life insurance door to door.

Recently, in an interview:
"What keeps you awake at night?"
Mattis: "Nothing, I keep other people awake at night."

Yeah, that sucks.

In Full Metal Jacket, even though it was generally an anti-war film, the bootcamp scene was so dead-on that Marines fucking LOVED it. A copy of that VHS could be found in every duty hut in the Corps.

Although, it may be because we all fantasized about killing our DIs at one time or another.

There's a Marine that works in the office. He got to meet RLE and get his pic taken with him. Of course, he asked "what was it like kissing Jack Black" and Ermey said something like, I'm gonna punch you in the throat.
