I don't know why I just don't kill them all.

I come in from working the weekend shift of 4pm to 4am to find that there was quite the barracks party while I was away. Things of mine that are fucked up now due to drunk ass mother fuckers are as listed:

-XM radio knocked over. Most likley from one of those idiots trying to change the channel on it.

-Massive amounts of empty and half empty beer bottles and cans lying all over the place. 3 cases of beer, a bottle of Crown, and a couple of 2 liter bottle of Coke is the quick assessment.

-White board I have on my door to remind me of shit to do is on the floor broken.

-Spilled beer on the floor. A puddle on the tile by the door and God only knows how much is soaked into the carpet.

-Holes in the wall from where they missed the dart board including holes in the pictures we used to cover up the holes from before.

-Beer spilled on my bed.

-Beer spilled on one of my pillows.

-The room wreeks.

<The one that pisses me off the most>

-They opened my fucking mail. I've been waiting for Fed Ex to drop off an adapter for my XM. True to Fed Ex nature, they never showed when they originally said they would [Thursday morning]. So of course it shows up when I'm not around [Today after 4pm]. At no point in time did I say to anyone ever, "Hey feel free to open my fucking mail". The adapter, which fortunatly is still in good shape, is not something I want them fucking with when they're sober, let alone drunk cosidering they can't seem to operate the radio itself.

I was going to clean up because I hate living in a fucking pigsty, but have opted to leave it for my roommate to clean since he hosted this little event. A few weeks ago I had a few people in the room, a case of empty cans were stacked neatly on the counter. I asked him to give me a hand [hold the bag open for me] to which he told me "Hey man I just came in from work....and you're the one who let them have it so you clean it". Well it came full circle.

thats karma biting his ass man,and if he is a asshole about it I say blanket party

 

[Themachine01]

sounds like an ass beating should take place, I absolutely hate that kind of shit, but Ive never had anyone open my mail, that would be the limit for me.

 

[p0ink]

barracks party? what branch are you?

 

[Rex]

He isn't an asshole. I just have no clue how many mother fuckers were in here. It could've been any of them. And to make matters worse is that it wasn't left on my bed or in plain sight, but rather on the floor under my bed between my hamper and the bed post.

The mail opening is what has my blood pressure through the roof right now and me on here instead of sleeping. I've been off my meds for the blood pressure, thank genetics for giving me it in the first place, for some time because it hasn't been an issue. This is one of those times where I pop 2 of "mother's little helper".

And I got work at 4pm again. Someone's going to hate life very soon....and by soon within the next 7 hours soon.

Marine Corps.

The only bad barracks party is the one you're not partaking in, or the one that has your room as the main attraction.

 

[theoak01]

give em hell bro,your roomie should have set out the rules to his guests right off

 

[p0ink]

rex,

can you choose your job/MOS when you join the marines, or do they just assign you? also, can you request a school (ie sniper school) when you sign up?

one of my friends is going in, and i dont know how you guys operate.

The "Choose your MOS" is what I call a half truth. They gaurentee the field...not the specialty. I'm a 1391. I enlisted thinking I was going to be a 1371. Well turns out what the recruiter gave me was the 13xx. Big difference in those last two digits.

You can request schools, but they'll just deny you unless it proves to serve the Corps a purpose. They won't send me to SERE school b/c it doesn't do anything for them. Reenlistment time they'll give you whatever you want, but then your command has to approve your absense for you to go to the school. It rarely happens.

Sniper school is a different beast. Infantry Marines are the first ones who get the look, but they do look at other MOS's. You have you be at least a sharpshooter to get looked at, but expert gets priority obviously. Some other requirements exist as to how much time is left on the contract and what not.

My rule of thumb for reenlistment is this. Don't reenlist for schools....don't reenlist at all.

can you say, 'i want to go infantry, but i wont sign unless i get sniper in my contract?'

i know you can do this in the army with shit like RIP/airborne/etc.

can you say, 'i want to go infantry, but i wont sign unless i get sniper in my contract?'

Unfortunatly no. Because they don't know how you will shoot on the range which is the main factor in determining if you will go.

having roomates is always a pain in the ass, especially when they are juvenile minded college aged irresponsible idiots.....i used to yell at some of the redneck mongoloids i lived with one year in college......

this is why i now live alone.

That's the main reason why if I live on campus when I go to school, after I get out, I will get a single room. 706 days....

The aftermath:

-Roommate said the duty brought the mail up and the duty said it was open when he got it.

-Bottles are gone, but the sink still needs some cleaning.

-The beer puddle on the tile may not be beer afterall. I'll go with a 65-35 in favor of the beer. The 35 aren't odds I want to take.

-My cactus, though moved, is in good shape.

-Radio somehow survived.

-Linen is in the wash.

-Pillow will most likely be thrown out.

-Compensation will be collected from the prime suspect.

-I'll be damned if that shit ever happens again.

Well, you know what to do......











You do know, don't you?
