Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do Marine medics carry Midol?

The poozies in San Clemente probably need a few doses for their menstrual cramps- - - - - -what a bunch of vaginas! Back when "The Marines Make Men" actually meant something, that beach would have been littered with broken bodies when reinforcements arrived- - - - -no cops needed!

Oh boy……… you must be one tough SOB!
Them Marines got jumped by a bunch of guys.
I think 9 have been arrested so far.

3 marines got jumped by at least thirty teens.

Those odds aren't good in a street fight

Look at it another way. If the Marines had fought back hard, the story would be that trained killers seriously injured innocent teens.

Break a few bones, the rest of the crowd probably would have backed off, and the Marines would be in jail.





P

Sadly, this is true.

Not sure what the answer is, but it ain't laying down for a beating.
Kids today don't know how to fight,all they know is how to kick and stomp and run.
30 on 3 isn't winnable odds, but that 30 would be reduced significantly after the first few felt a little pain. !

Marines don't have medics. At least they didn't when I was in the Navy. I was a Navy hospital corpsman attached to the FMF. The BEST duty I ever have. Got along GREAT with the USMC. Things may be different today. Most things are.

I still joke to my wife that the only way to get me into a bar fight at my age is to mess with a corpsman in front of me.

We loved our corpsman.

I would do it all over again. It was the best time of my life. 1962-1968. I was in Beachmaster Unit 2. We were on an APA. It was the USS Rockbridge APA-228 .

10-4!

Tell us you don’t understand the situation without telling us.

You obviously don't know your ass from a hot rock.

GFY.

Ohhh look! The crusty, bullszchitting-blowhard is talking out of his @ss again.

Doin' what he does best.

This didn't go as anticipated, huh Jerome?

I sure did appreciate the Corpsman I served with!

Men and women were different then. I think it was a thing called RESPECT. Thank you all for your service.

Unfortunately, we see this point made fairly regularly. That being the fact that even when somebody doesn’t know what they’re talking about it doesn’t prevent them from talking. Even when it’s inaccurate and insulting. I try to remember to never miss a good opportunity to STFU! I don’t always make it either.

As did I. They were great guys.

Worked with a guy who had been a USN Corpsman. Primary Care responsible for some huge number of Marines. Because of broad span of responsibility, and large number of troops, was allowed to do far more than one would normally expect as "just a corpsman". Mark indicated that he had a jolly good time working with the Marines.
