    Outstanding. No jokes. If you can't do simple tasks without stress, you can't do the harder things when stressed. If you don't look the part, you won't act the part. Individuals get killed in battle... they also are not team players. And, if your tools don't work - you are dead. That's the message.

    I'm 19 years old and due to my weird family dynamic I always thought I was getting bullied. The truth was that they were trying to show their love but they didn't have enough love to give, definitely not compared to me. It wasn't that I was looking down on them, it's just that I heard alot of things I'm not sure they meant to tell me. Almost like on the Netflix show Lucifer where he uses his mind trick "What do you desire the most" and they spill the beans, only I never asked for it and it kinda made my life a nightmare. I had to show love back no matter what because I was a kid and when I was unhappy people poked me relentlessly. Now that I'm an adult, at first it felt like the exact opposite, like my love was putrid and I had to avoid it at all costs. Then I slowly reverted back to a middle ground where I kinda love myself and everyone still, but now *I* don't have that much love left to give. I got to reconnect with my estranged Dad after a few years of being separated. He's always been my hero, because he always does the right thing, especially when nobody's looking. There's no better way to be the "bigger man" than to do your job because that's what you gotta do. I never really realized that privilege until now, the fact that people had to work on the same part of themselves that I mastered as a child. It developed into this whole, "what you think you're better than me?" Kinda thing, I guess I had a flip in popularity or something. I went from being totally hated for being the snot nosed brat who everyone sucks up to, to just being normal. I can 100% live with that. In fact I've been living like royalty on my own, I felt like a God among men. After talking with my Dad, who has practically reached the closest thing to omnipotence compared to anyone in history, I've been exposed to ALOT of truth that I've been desperately waiting for. It's just... It's not exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting that after all the hard work I put in, I would get rewarded handsomely, by the Government, the people, the Son of a genius who exponentially enhanced said genius's gifts, a prodigy if you will. But here's the ultimate joke on my expense (Even I've been laughing, God it's hilarious) I am a prodigy alright, just of stupidity. Humanity views raw intelligence as stupidity until it's documented and you're globally known like Einstein. The truth is that we're all pretty much geniuses fighting for the top, Einstein only made it through stealing from others for example. But My Dad and I are different. We're not just extremely smart and clever, we're also dangerous. And what makes us more dangerous is 1.) knowing our capabilities, something you do when you get older, and 2.) being able to repress and hide our capabilities to match and protect the emotions of the ones we love, innocents who have never been exposed to the military. I haven't reached that part just yet and I really should've. The truth is that neither of us were designed to the core of our genetics for something as bizarre as political correctness and "wokeness." We were just gifted with a large portion of it and stopped because we were happy where we were, nestled at the very top. Once people started catching on to our single trick they started taking it and adapting off of it. They thought they were leagues above us suddenly because they could do the same thing. We just sat and watched them make clowns of themselves because in reality they could only really get about half way to where we are and then they did their own thing like a normal herd animal. And they all forgot where they came from originally, us. So now they're upset. It's literally the typical liberal, that's the level of stupidity we have to deal with on a regular basis. I'm sure anyone in the military or law enforcement right now completely understands what I'm saying here. "I WANT MY FREE STUFF AND I DONT CARE ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN OF FREE STUFF I HAVE BEHIND ME I JUST WANT MORE, I WANT YOUR MOUNTAIN OF STUFF AND I WANT NOBODY TO CALL ME ANYTHING BUT A GOD WHILE I DEVELOP AN EGOTISTICAL SENSE OF HYPOCRISY" It's like my Dad but so much worse, because it's literally half of the world right now. God, I feel stupid working so hard my entire life knowing now that half the world is literally braindead. I'm not gonna stop working hard, I'm just saying. I reeeally fucked up, I don't have that much will to live right now. I've kinda got that same feeling a vet gets when he comes home from war just to find out that his Country hates him for fighting a war that he didn't even start, he just participated in to feed his family. Only I'm no where near being a vet, I'm a 19 year old College student. I think I put that kinda pain into my head after realizing that we really just lost the election to Creepy Joe the child sniffer upper. Back to what I was talking about with what my Dad taught me, however, apparently I'm sub/unconsciously aligning myself to have the personality of a General. "Get the job done, do not rest until the job is done, ask for help if there's any mistakes in the plan or snags" etc. Best part is I didn't even do it intentionally. Even I'm a little proud of that. If I end up joining the US military, I'll probably be shooting for a Marine General. Hoo rah!

    This is the worst advice I have ever heard. Listen up Marines, strive to spend as much time deployed as you can. Stay out of sight of bad leaders and learn other cultures. Go ahead and grow your hair all the way to tropical regulations. Good Marines test their regulations and wear their Cammies faded and hair long. I would rather deploy with a corporal that knew how to fight and looks like shit then a staff sergeant that Thinks a horseshoe haircut makes up for the fact that his waist line is unsat and forgot how to disassemble a saw. The other important thing to remember is how to acquire gear like sandbags and camouflage netting from other branches of the service without getting caught. The first sergeant will love you and stay off your case if you bring him things like these. Semper Fi.

    How to be the perfect Marine? Hmmm is this a waste of our time or what? I don’t want to take advice about being a enlisted Marine from an Officer that doesn’t really have to field day and may or may not feel pressure from his senior officers to get a high and tight (unlike enlisted). Field day? Come on, the Marine Corps teaches Marines how to clean to look good, but not how to clean to sanitize germs and actually be clean. It’s a waste of a Thursday evening. If we have to field day so should officers and staff ncos, as well as married Marines. Anyone can be dirty. Haircuts? Terrorism awareness...fades stand out compared to normal haircuts. For the last 17 some odd years Marines have been whooping it on in the Middle East, and instead of fixing our Air wing, training for the next war, and improving quality of life issues and promoting mental health to help lessen suicide, we are focused on shit like pme, drill haircuts, This is so stupid...why even make this joke of a video? We’re the fucking Marine Corps, we fight and fucking win wars, not make snooty pog ass videos
