Today, while all the other marines got to fly around the island on a helicopter, I got stuck on gear guard. What was I guarding? The staff sergeant's parking spot. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, one of my junior marines called to tell me they were in an accident that totaled both cars. The car he hit was parked in a nearby parking garage. It was mine. FML
Today, I had to pull guard duty. I had to guard the latrine because somebody likes to stuff whole toilet paper rolls in the toilet to clog it. Only six more months in Iraq. FML
Today, I was posted with a very lonely gate-guard. From the second I arrived, I had to listen to him drone on and on, and now I know his entire life story. I was there for four hours. FML
Today, I woke up and I'm still in the Marine Corps. FML
Today, I parked my car in the company lot and walked down the street to a mandatory company training. While I was at the training, everyone back at the office decided to leave early and locked the company lot. My car is now stuck there for the night and I'm walking home. FML
Today, I got my posting orders for the Air Force. After spending four years training and studying to become an aerospace engineer, I am getting sent to the only base without aircraft. FML
Today, my car was stolen from the parking garage, the same one I work at as a security guard. FML
Today, at my job as a supermarket manager, I had to break up a fight over a handicapped parking spot, in which an elderly man nearly got beaten over the head with a prosthetic leg. This wasn't what I expected when I was told I'd been promoted. FML
Today, my father picked me up from the police academy I'm attending, and got caught speeding. The officer was my drill instructor, and I had to do push-ups on the side of the highway. FML
Today, my friends thought it would be funny to slip a condom under my pillow at boot camp. The staff found out, I got bitched out for 30 minutes straight, and now I have to put a condom on the grip of any rifle I'm issued for a week. My new callsign is "Love Glove". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's what happens. Don't worry. You're probably just a boot right now. You'll get your turn at the cool stuff eventually. At least you're in Japan. That's a freaking sweet deployment!

yall are both wrong. its not a deployment, but its also not a good time.

without pogs, you wouldn't be able to do your job. you wouldn't fly, have admin to sort your shit out for you, or be the future of textbooks through pictures and stories that POGS write about you. how about you and your other non-pog friends try to do your job without other people. then, when you finally use your tiny brain to realize you can't, then pull on your right ear. maybe that will let out some of that hot air built up in there.

deadliest weapon in the Marine Corps is a radio. something the grunts have "POG" radio operators such as myself for. so what would you do without the "POG's"?

My boyfriend spent a year in Afghanistan and eight months in Japan. Guess which one he liked more! Maybe you're getting the shit jobs because you got NJP, in which case you should just start keeping your head down. Almost every Marine I know has had an NJP, and several have lost rank over it. But they just kept pushing themselves to do better because that's what a Marine does.

O.o Sometimes they'll make you do it as a test. I don't get the guarding the parking spot though, but they will make you do pointless jobs to make sure your willing to follow the rules. Everyone had a point in there lives when the person that was over them told them to do something stupid. Just think of how much respect you get for serving our country. Mmm, I love a man in uniform! ;) Thank you! :)
