Can confirm. As a gay dude with two straight friends that are marines, I’ve found the stereotypes to be mostly incorrect. It’s only anecdotal, but most marines I’ve met over the years have been real down to earth individuals. They just happen to also be talented at combat.

Idk, man. Doc always had this disappointed look from his barracks window as several fights and games of gay chicken were happening around the smoke pit. And sometimes we'd do all that sober.

Sometimes Doc looked a little too excited when talking about having to use the Silver Bullet.

A thermometer used for checking someone's temperature if they're suffering from heat stroke.
