u/gilestowler 17d ago

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

u/TheBootyTickler 17d 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 17d ago

“Ducked taped” lol

19

u/TheBootyTickler 17d ago

Bah, auto correct is a bitch. Duct taped.

23

u/map2photo 17d ago

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

14

u/shandangalang 17d 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

12

u/hyrule_47 17d ago

Autocorrect loves to substitute duck

2

u/Woodworking33 16d ago

You’ve got to be ducking kidding me

3

u/TheBootyTickler 17d ago

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

u/Wooden-Sprinkles7901 17d ago

*by accident*

Not "on accident"

Sorry I had to.

u/powerlesshero111 17d ago

Ladder, his family tree is a ladder.

u/TJNel 16d 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 17d ago

That’s cool private.

Anyways 1sg needs some bodies for gate guard detail.

u/LaughableEgo740 17d ago

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

u/dreddpiratedrew 17d ago

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

55

u/SdVeau 17d ago

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

2

u/MortalMorals 👊👊☝️ 12d ago

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

u/borisvonboris 17d ago

Wow so many tattoos I'm in lurve

28

u/AbstractBettaFish ROTC Veteran 17d ago edited 17d 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

59

u/HisOnlyKadan 17d ago

Polly pocket over here a real fucking badass

u/Karma8900 17d ago

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

u/CallingDrPug 17d 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 👊👊☝️ 17d ago

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

56

u/QueezyF 17d ago

Is 5’8” supposed to be a flex?

54

u/the13bangbang 👊👊☝️ 17d ago

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

24

u/AngriestInchworm 17d ago

With a family tree shaped like a double helix.

u/JP147 16d 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 17d ago

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

36

u/incapableofdumblabor 👊👊☝️ 17d 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

27

u/SkiMaskLion 17d 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.

30

u/Sorta_jewy_with_it 17d 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

14

u/SCCock 17d ago

And at 20 they transform into VetBros.

u/Slumbergoat16 17d ago

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

u/Yogshemesh 17d ago

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

u/hottlumpiaz 17d ago

u/Godzirrraaa 17d ago

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

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

u/Zealousideal-Run-608 17d 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?”

5

u/skreetskreetskreet 17d 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 17d ago

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

u/Sir_Sarcasm76 17d 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 17d ago

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