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

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!

I don't know about the marines, but I spent eight years in the army, and we always left the platoon fuckup guarding the gear... Just sayin... You may need to unfuck yourself, and then you may get to do stuff.

OP-Chesty Puller also said "you arent a real Marine till you've been NJP'd" so that ****** who slammed you for it obviously isnt one yet..if you arent strong enough in character to risk pissing someone off who may have more stripes than you, then I dont think you deserve to wear my uniform..

That's not being "strong in character," that's being unprofessional and insubordinate. If you had actually served, you would know this. Or are you saying that Marines don't live up to those standards?

And yes, I slammed him for getting NJP-ed, but no, you are wrong. I served 6 years in, got out as a Sergeant, and spoke up plenty without getting my ass in trouble enough to warrant NJP. I'm pretty sure that if you dont know what you are talking about, you should keep your mouth shut- there is a difference in pissing someone off and assaulting an NCO. I'm sorry but if you are too dumb to see that then take off MY uniform.

I got an NJP while in the Corps for saying "what the **** is he staring at" regarding an Army SFC who ran his bus off the road cuz he was staring at me, the only female Marine on post. My CWO told me then what General Puller said- last I checked a SGT is outranked by a General so shut your trap SGT

I doubt your NJP was for "Assaulting an NCO," and there's probably more to the story than what you're letting on. Last time I checked, this wasn't an episode of JAG, and female devil dogs aren't worth staring at.

Two different Marines posting on here-and i definately discouraged my men from seeing me as a female, and didnt get any disrespect from them-my NJP was for "disrespect of a noncom" and it was just a pencil *******-went away when my post changed
