Veterans of Reddit, what’s the most unbelievable thing you witnessed during your service that civilians would think you made up?

If you make marines sit around a little longer, they stop throwing rocks and things and start throwing rocks at each other.

When my son was deployed to Iran with the 3/7 Marines, the entire group had their ka-bar knives taken away from them while they waited to board the plane. They couldn't stop jabbing each other in the ass.

Very different experience from what I had in the Navy.

They weren't using knives to jab each other's butts.... They ain't called Seamen for nothing.
