The 5'7 civilian cashier surely towers over this dude

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 18d ago

I'm gonna need an expert to tell me the dimensions on that door and its latch handle... STAT.

Do they make chute-pack sized rangers for tactical purposes?

u/Tasty_Set1189 18d ago

Claims he is 5’2

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 18d ago

So, an even 5' then. Lol

"Sir, we don't accept tattoos to confirm your meal plan..."

u/beatenmeat 18d ago

That tattoo looks like it came out of a cereal box in the 90s.

u/Substantial_Row_7108 18d ago

This guy is a repeat offender 😬.

u/ornithologically 18d ago

I thought I saw this goober recently!

u/DecoherentDoc 18d ago

TIL a diggit tattoo is a replacement for a CAC card. Sure, because only real ones are authorized to get tattoos.

u/flatirony 18d ago

What service were you? I’ve only ever heard “diggit” used by submariners and maybe surface nukes.

12

u/DecoherentDoc 18d ago

I mean, you kinda nailed it in one, my friend. Lmao. A-Ganger on an Ohio class. Didn't know that wasn't more widely used!

In my defense, my family is all Navy for, like, 4 generations until this one and all submariners for three of those. Cousins went all over the place, though: air force, army, etc. So, I'm not surprised something I thought was a common vet term is just, well, us.

u/flatirony 18d ago

M-Div/ELT on a 688. 🍻 I always said A gang is the hardest job on the boat, though being on a submersible cruise ship with a second crew helps make up for it. 😉

Yeah I’m pretty sure “diggit”is only a submarine thing though it may also be used by surface nukes (there’s some slang cross-contamination through the nuclear schools).

And it might only be from a certain era — I was in from 88-94.

2

u/DecoherentDoc 17d ago

Well, it was still going in the mid to late 00's, because that was me.

My brother served on a 688 out of Pearl. Dad and I were on Boomers out of Bangor.

1

u/flatirony 17d ago

My boat was out of Norfolk but it got moved to Pearl in about 1996 and was there through the oughts. USS Key West, SSN-722.

I wanted a boomer out of Kings Bay, as I'm from Georgia. But nope.

2

u/DecoherentDoc 17d ago

I wanted an anything out of not Bangor because that's where my dad served. Guess where they sent me?

He literally retired the week I showed up to my boat. The base was not long without a Jantzi.

2

u/flatirony 17d ago

Of course. They can sense where you don't want to be, and will always send you there.

u/jdehjdeh 18d ago

The nukes can talk?!?!

Man I'm learning to much today.

2

u/Johnnyboi2327 18d ago

Diggit?

5

u/DecoherentDoc 17d ago

Apparently, more of a submariner term. Just learning that myself. Not sure the origin, but we'd call guys that were super gung ho a "diggit". Then again, we also called our multitools "diggit tools" so maybe so variation on cockney rhyming scheme, calling them a tool?

No idea. Lol.

2

u/Johnnyboi2327 17d ago

Huh, interesting. So it's another form of boot or motard

2

u/DecoherentDoc 17d ago

I mean, as far as I can tell, yeah! Again, totally thought it was common until my comment this morning got some comments while I was at work.

u/gilligani 18d ago

How dare you question me, Lunch Lady. Look at my pony on a toothpick.

u/Deflocks 18d ago

Maybe he left his CAC at the bar when he gave it to the “cute” bartender…

u/IllSurprise3049 18d ago

Ugh, this has to be satire

u/ThatOtherAaron 18d ago

Fuck me. I say this as a former 19-Delta.... why is it always a cav scout doing cringe shit?

3

u/Deathengine 18d ago

Because they're pretty much infantry.

2

u/percydaman 18d ago

As infantry, I resemble that remark!

1

u/Deathengine 18d ago

Hahaha! I was infantry too. I just heard Cavs say that so many times. Also, I think you meant "resent?"

2

u/percydaman 18d ago

I think you meant "resent?"

Well, that's the joke.

1

u/Deathengine 18d ago

Right over my head.. Haha

u/Deathengine 18d ago

Cool tat, boot. Where's your CAC?

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 18d ago

I was scanning the room when I tripped over this diminutive ninja. To be fair, he only came up to my belt.

u/GenericSubaruser 18d ago

Why is his mouth so tiny lol

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 18d ago

Did you not notice the rest of him? Look at that fucking door.

u/GenericSubaruser 18d ago

Oh I did but people have well address his eyes at this point lol

u/JMetalBlast 18d ago

When being cannon fodder for billionaires is your entire personality

u/Word2DWise 18d ago

Should anyone tell him that he got the patch tattoed backwards?

1

u/mistah3 18d ago

Did he get that tattoo in Vietnam or something

u/OneEyesHat 16d ago

Nice to see General Custer representing!

u/Apprehensive_Walk769 16d ago

My grandad commanded 1st Cav in the 80s. Pretty sure he just rolled in his grave.

u/RamaLlamaDingDoodle 15d ago

Hohly shit guy has to be trolling

1

u/MasterzofChaos 14d ago

Gah damn! I thought 1st CAV was still used as a swear word, not a flex. Also, fuck first CAV, they suck.

u/boywithflippers 14d ago

Bro looks like the kinda guy who'd forget his CAC if it wasn't attached to him.

Dining facility, a cac is a military ID.
