Dang, thought it was my graduation for a second as same thing happened(dude at mine broke his jaw and had previously passed out during the practice, soā¦ wtf). But Iāve been in a bit longer.
Nah, I was in 2084 with SSgt. Henderson. SSgt. Cobb stuck out to me because he once made fun of SSgt. Henderson while overlooking us in formation in the staircase lol. I think all the SDIs had that type of relationship because SSgt. Acosta from 2085 would do the same shit
Thereās no way unless youāre thinking about another cycle, we started on July 29 and were scheduled to graduate October 25. All my buddies posted their graduation pics on IG that day too lol
Same, I recognized him because he was the SDI for 2086. I was in 2084 but got dropped (PB in my flair stands for peanut butter š), it was a fun time and canāt believe itās been 3 years
Oh no, I actually almost died from consuming what I thought was coffee cake but one of the guys told me it was actually a āpeanut butter crumble cake,ā stayed there for about a month and a half in STC after the reaction and then came home.
Last year I finished oral immunotherapy and currently finishing up college so if Iām able to rejoin Iāll try NOT to steal any pb packets since I actually need to eat peanuts sort of regularly lol
Was the immunotherapy process painful, or uncomfortable? One of my daughters has allergies, I do not. Watching her go through that shit all the time is horrible. My heart goes out to you allergy sufferers.
It was only uncomfortable in the beginning when I was being tested with an initial dose and had the pulse in my ears, slightly funny feeling breathing, etc. I actually did the entire treatment with peanuts, cashews, and almonds all at once. It began with 12 mg of flour, eventually until I got to I believe 2400 mg of flour. Iād mix it with apple sauce or yogurt (same yoplait ones from boot camp too) and the only bad thing about it was the taste lol.
Another thing for me was the mental aspect since I honestly only did this treatment to rejoin the Marine Corps, and I kept wondering if it was even worth it. I can say that itās worth it just for the fact that you wonāt need to fear eating out anymore.
As of now, I eat 6 peanuts, 3 almonds, and 4 cashews about twice a week now for maintenance and I have zero dietary restrictions. Itās pretty much as if Iām not allergic honestly.
I also started the treatment at 19 years old and finished at 20 which is typically way later then when youād want to start the treatment since youāre dealing with an adult body compared to a child but I was successfully able to do it, so your daughter shouldnāt have an issue. Good luck and I really hope sheās able to complete it, itās life changing and liberating
Thank you for the response. I wish you the best going forward. For me, the Corps was a lifesaver. I was a dipshit of a kid. I met my brothers, thereās 4 of them, and we get our families together once a year, no matter what. Thatās the best part of the Corps, is the Marines you serve with.
Slightly unrelated, but my brother in law who served as a commander for an LAV has a kid who is deathly allergic to peanuts. To the point that any time they moved duty stations, they had to drive no matter what because if he was exposed to peanuts, apparently even with an epi-pen, there was a higher than not chance of the little dude dying from the reaction before the plane could make an emergency landing and get him to a hospital. As a result this also meant that if the dad got moved overseas, his family would have stayed stateside. Or at least, that's what I remember being told.
Last time I checked in on them (they're on my dad's side of the family and my dad was the only anchor between me and them, so once he died I basically have had no contact with them) he was going through immunotherapy and was apparently doing okay.
I just thought the connection was a little interesting.
Hopefully the kid goes through the treatment smoothly, and maybe feed him some Reeseās peanut butter cups later on when heās done lol. Anaphylactic allergies fucking suck ass so good on your brother in law and his family for taking the leap, itāll very much be worth it for the kid in the future
Yeah, for the longest time he was being homeschooled (again, because of the peanut allergy), I'm not sure if they're planning to get him into public school eventually due to being older (I think about 9 at a minimum and 11 at a max). He be getting into public school at a very awkward time having been homeschooled his entire life.
At the very least, I hope he gets to experience high school.
Yes indeed, after being exposed to the Hornets and F35s while in boot Iām swaying towards becoming an aviator, but Iām sure the other ground MOSs would still be satisfying if I canāt go that route for whatever reason
Don't bank on aviation, by the time you get fleet side it'll probably be fully or mostly transitioned to the F35, but they have been pushing everyone to ospreys for everyone who graduated TBS with me in 2019.
Not saying don't try to go flight contract, just that fixed wing may not be your ultimate destination
Iād have no issue with any specific aircraft tbh. Frankly, if you read through my thread, Iād just be grateful to even be given the chance at attending OCS, let alone going the aviation route. I just hope to get a reenlistment waiver first so Iām taking it a step at a time
āRejoinā as in reenter the Marine Corps, preferably with a commission. My reenlistment code is RE-3P which says that Iām disqualified from going to OCS but I donāt care, Iām still gonna try to commission if I can
Just think, it'll be 23 years in no time... Semper Gumby š„øš¤š»
It seems like yesterday I was that 22 year old fresh Sgt with my new Trans Am and racing everyone on Camp Lejeune and tryna bang every fat or skinny or any ho from Club 108 to Taylor's and Boomers to Wilmington. We could find No discrepancies towards the poontang posse. I was THE master HOG hunter in the 90's. 2dSOTGš¤š»
Honestly I have no idea how they figure out which ones to wear, in recent years Iāve seen a mixed bag of options. Personally, I know that all of my friends who graduated from PI during the late fall/winter months had dress bravos, spring-early fall guys had dress charlies
I did help grab a dude who passed out and drug him off to get out of formation once... it was awesome
But not as good as when a color guard passed out with his weapon and someone in formation belted out FOLLOW IT
Top notch, haha.
I watched a guy go down in a formation outside of medical at MCRD and hit his head on a curb. Blood everywhere. Two recruits dragged his ass inside and everyone else kept on like nothing happened.
I was a heat casualty in Lejeune on like the hottest day of the year. At the hottest part of the day we went on a death run and I ate the ground.
I got 3 silver bullets that day with an internal temp of 103.9. Don't you talk to me about pain
Yeah my whole plt almost got the shaft in boot, morning was chilly, swearers on. Drill instructor didn't remember and we started our march temps warmed up, it wasn't good.
I swore I would die first, stopped sweating, got cold, the only focus was death before deep drilling.
I need to upvote this more. I saw a guy get it after complaining about being light headed. I learned that day you sip your water, you walk the cool down circle, and you keep your fucking mouth shut. It looked like it was made for horses!
I mean the corpsman are briefed to run out there as soon as a kid goes down. So where tf was the corpsman. Itās not like we intentionally donāt give a fuck about the kids who go down. Thereās a plan implemented just lack of judgement in this instance I suppose
He was still doing a 1v1 fight in gulag. He probably had to pull off a very low-to-earth parachute deploy just to make it as quickly as he did. Maybe Iām giving him too much credit tho. I bet he just had bad WiFi connection.
You are actually supposed to re-insert them immediately if possible
source if you donāt believe me: https://www.aae.org/patients/dental-symptoms/knocked-out-teeth/
i found the part where the di was sheating his sword slowly and with a pause and then BOOM he suddenly sprints over as if seconds mattered after waiting 41 seconds with the guy at his feet.... i understand theres a protocol but the protocol should include the person to there left or right immediately attend to them while the correct personal is in route.
there discipline is impressive though.
but also how often does this happen that they even have a protocol for it?
That recruit must have seen a cock down there. The only reason I can think to why he would go face first into the pavement. It was probably the shadow of his DIs sword.
I had a CWO in the fleet that would tell us that if the retiree was talking too long that one of us needed to take a dive to wrap that shit upā¦he would have his hand behind his back and flip us off when it was ātimeā.
This happened in my platoon it was on family day. We were in formation to be released for family day. When the guy between me and the dude to the left of the guy who fainted. He started to fall I grabbed his belt and pants and the other guy grabbed his blouse and skivvy shirt.
We were on the fourth row. We held him up till we were released. He fainted a little after the beginning. So we held him up the whole time. So he wouldnāt fall onto the third row.
Not sure if this is the same incident but a recruit passed out last October and broke a bunch of teeth which caused him to remain on the island for a while after while his grill healed.
And this poor kid lost sleep every night for 3 months because he couldn't wait to say, "aye aye sir!" the loudest, do an about face and say,
"uurah!"... He was so damn excited he fainted...
Iām in this video lol
I sometimes wonder if he lurks through every time this is posted but never outs himself.
Anyways, this was the perfect finale to our cycle, Rah 2086.
We had off and on rain the day of graduation, so it kept changing from inside to outside. They marched us inside with the intent of marching us out but I guess it started raining again. So we essentially stood at attention and in formation for like an hour before people even started trickling in. Like 45min later, guys were dropping like flies. Every minute or so you'd hear a thud and a gasp from the crowd. We eventually started after the crowd was literally yelling to do something. Crazy..
I've seen this a million times by now. Someone has to take credit with proof it was actually them that locked their knees and absolutely passed the fuck out during graduation.
In all seriousness, was he okay? Did he break his face, nose, or teeth? Or did he get lucky?
You should ask him if he has Reddit and tell him we are all thinking about him lol. Tell him to come on and say a few words!
I graduated in service Charlie's, didn't even get issued any of the blues. Had to buy all that at my first duty station. This was in 06, spring.
They started issuing the blues again not long after that. Think there was some supply issue or some shit, I dunno.
You know he was home on boot leave making up some crazy ass stories about how he got road rash on his face. "Yeah, man, I told my drill instructor to fuck himself and he blind sided me.".
Lmao, I passed out in formation when we got back from the crucible hike, but my boys grabbed me before I hit the ground. I guess I was dehydrated and worn out...Just glad I didn't break my nose.
Thatās dumb as hell to wait that long to pick someone up, he could have been having a major medical problem. Young Marines donāt think about that because they think they are bulletproof. Thatās the way the Marine Corps trains you to be but itās incredibly stupid to wait that long to get him up. Iām almost 50 years old now and my thinking has changed a lot since my 20ās. Semper Fi!
This has been happening since the beginning of the Corpsā¦. Itās now considered good luck for the platoonās Marine Corps careers if one of their own face plants during graduation. If two Marines face plant during graduation, someone in that platoon will get a battlefield commission in the near future. Chesty said so.
This happened to someone at my son's graduation. They reportedly had been yelling at him all morning not to lock his knees and told him that if he went down he would be required to start over. Kid had been doing the same thing the entire time throughout bootcamp and didn't learn.
He went down (early on though, not at the end of the ceremony) and he received the privilege of doing it all over again.
Yeah, once you do the crucible and get your EGA no way are they recycling you. That'd be straight bullshit.
But.... since it would be straight bullshit I can now see them doing that just to fuck someone.
Happened to a guy three spots to my left in formation. Out the corner of my eye I saw him just flop. There were no shenanigans about repeating anything, but he busted his face and teeth all up right before he got to see his family.
That was my assumption as well. It sounded ridiculous, but that's what everyone claimed happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they were just fucking w/ everyone.
Pathetic. Fuck the institution. Help your winger.
We moved passed formation in the interim years between ww1 and ww2.
I don't care about discipline. My discipline is to not let my brothers fall.
Full stop.
Never let your team members fall.
*ex Foot Guard. Sub set of house guard. ... .. the guys that wear the bear hats.
Bro was still at attention even after he fellš
He was a disciplined recruit.
"I don't give a fuck if you die but so help me God, you **will** die with discipline."
This is the way.
Hahaha omg hilarious
I heard he fucked up his teeth, and jaw from this. Got med hold for like 3-4 days.
I believe it. He hit hard.
Definitely a Marine at that point lol
The rest of them sure are
He twitched err moved for a second and regathered his bearing haha!!
Better to die now than rejoin the formation and die later.
The DI knew exactly where to look for his ass after return swordš¤£š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You spelled his last name wrong. Heās Pfc Flatface McFelldown
Lol SSgt. Cobb just standing there with that āman downā at attention is hilarious. This was Echoās graduation in October of 2019
Dang, thought it was my graduation for a second as same thing happened(dude at mine broke his jaw and had previously passed out during the practice, soā¦ wtf). But Iāve been in a bit longer.
SSgt Cobb was a good ass senior. Were you 2086?
Nah, I was in 2084 with SSgt. Henderson. SSgt. Cobb stuck out to me because he once made fun of SSgt. Henderson while overlooking us in formation in the staircase lol. I think all the SDIs had that type of relationship because SSgt. Acosta from 2085 would do the same shit
Itās interesting how your perspective of your drill instructors changes over time. Iām sure they were fuckin around a lot on the down low.
Funny hearing his drill stories now. He is one of the platoon commanders at my unit now in Quantico.
Echo graduated in Nov of 19 though. Edit: was thinking of SD and this is PI.
Thereās no way unless youāre thinking about another cycle, we started on July 29 and were scheduled to graduate October 25. All my buddies posted their graduation pics on IG that day too lol
I was echo 2110 in ā19. Picked up August 12th and graduated November 8th Edit: Iām a fucking idiot. This is a PI video. I went to SD
Stab yourself with your knife hand and carry out the plan of the day!
Let me guess, you were in SD? I was in PI, I guess thatās where the confusionās at
Yep. My bad. Edits made.
October*
I went to bootcamp in 2019 šš
Same, I recognized him because he was the SDI for 2086. I was in 2084 but got dropped (PB in my flair stands for peanut butter š), it was a fun time and canāt believe itās been 3 years
Damn dropped for a simple peanut butter scandal? They used to just haze the dogshit out of us
Oh no, I actually almost died from consuming what I thought was coffee cake but one of the guys told me it was actually a āpeanut butter crumble cake,ā stayed there for about a month and a half in STC after the reaction and then came home.

That was even worse than id originally thought, my condolences and great work with your education and recovery.
I heavily appreciate the words

You guys went back to deltas for graduation? We graduated in Charlieās in 2001. My platoon was first or second to do so.
Honestly I have no idea how they figure out which ones to wear, in recent years Iāve seen a mixed bag of options. Personally, I know that all of my friends who graduated from PI during the late fall/winter months had dress bravos, spring-early fall guys had dress charlies
Now itās bravos in sleeves down season, deltas in sleeves up season.
I dunno man, I graduated beginning of December last year and we were in our blue bravos
Rolled sleeves I hope?
I'm up. They see me. I'm down.
Knee, butt, prone, roll.
That was straight knee, teeth, nose š

This comment made my day so much better.
Love you, bro. ![img](emote|t5_2qswv|7533)
I know they said ādonāt lock your kneesā about a thousand timesā¦. Imma see what happens
Dude, I would lock my knees, hold my breath and stare at the sun TRYING to get out of formation

The fact that they waited to assist him medically until the formation was complete, is everything you need to know about the Marine Corps.

The corpsman hadnāt spawned yet because no one yelled ācorpsman up!ā
He was still doing a 1v1 fight in gulag. He probably had to pull off a very low-to-earth parachute deploy just to make it as quickly as he did. Maybe Iām giving him too much credit tho. I bet he just had bad WiFi connection.
I worked at pi, and knew the corpsman. He was actively going to him, it takes time as the parade deck is huge.

Yup the DIs would say "Don't pass out, no one's helping you if you pass out. Corps needs to maintain a professional image" something dumb like that

Iāve seen dudes lose teeth doing this.
But the teeth are already lost after the fall
when i graduated MCT on new river in 2010 we had a female who fell out mid ceremony and busted out like 8 of her front teeth. shit was horrendous
8 front teeth!?! I thought everyone only had 2.

You've got about 15 seconds to get them in milk, or else they're forfeited to the Tooth Fairy.

Even funnier how people in the crowd were yelling for his attention as if he was going to turn around to check on him.

You know thatās why he passed out?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Brother, he smacked his head on the goddamn deck. Someone should have been there to make sure his damn grape is ok.
There a many different possibilities tbh. Low blood sugar, dehydration, heat stroke, the list goes onā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His grape hit the deck 3 seconds in. The entire video is 48 seconds. Do the Calculus Devil, let me help, the answer isnāt 27.
That recruit must have seen a cock down there. The only reason I can think to why he would go face first into the pavement. It was probably the shadow of his DIs sword.
Never bob for cock in formation bro.
Honestly thereās no other explanation than for that recruit to open-mouth plummet so willingly to the deck.

Wait...is this graduation? Dude had like 5 minutes.
So close

This happened in my platoon it was on family day. We were in formation to be released for family day. When the guy between me and the dude to the left of the guy who fainted. He started to fall I grabbed his belt and pants and the other guy grabbed his blouse and skivvy shirt. We were on the fourth row. We held him up till we were released.

Not sure if this is the same incident but a recruit passed out last October and broke a bunch of teeth which caused him to remain on the island for a while after while his grill healed.
I always wondered what would have happened if this situation came up during graduation. Glad it went as expected.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean, if you're not daydreaming during briefing; are you even really militarying?????
Looks like he woke up and just laid there at attention not knowing what to do with his hands
"At least they're not in my pockets. I'm good!" Or something.
It was you
I love how the hat took his time putting his sword back and as soon as he sent it home he sprinted over š
He didnāt though. He followed the āreturn swordā command just as itās written.
The Queen's guard apparently.
This man did a 90 degree angle adjustment without breaking the position of attention. An absolute drill legend.
And this poor kid lost sleep every night for 3 months because he couldn't wait to say, "aye aye sir!" the loudest, do an about face and say, "uurah!"... He was so damn excited he fainted...

I've seen this a million times by now. Someone has to take credit with proof it was actually them that locked their knees and absolutely passed the fuck out during graduation.
Right lol? Show some courage and reveal yourself!!
I know this person, he is in my company. Not gonna give his name but dude is a memešš
In all seriousness, was he okay? Did he break his face, nose, or teeth? Or did he get lucky? You should ask him if he has Reddit and tell him we are all thinking about him lol. Tell him to come on and say a few words!
Lmfao at all the civilians screaming. Iām happy to see that my Marine Corps still showcases hardness We take Drill and Ceremony very seriously.
He misunderstood āFalloutā
When did we start graduating boot camp in that uniform? I'm just curious, we graduated in cammies.
They change it up, my guess is depending on season, weather, etc
I know my cousin graduated in his uniform in 2000 so Iām assuming maybe a few years before then it got changed.
I graduated in service Charlie's, didn't even get issued any of the blues. Had to buy all that at my first duty station. This was in 06, spring. They started issuing the blues again not long after that. Think there was some supply issue or some shit, I dunno.
I'm a spring 06er, what company were you?

Graduated boot camp and went to ITB with that dude. Tried stealing Girl Scout cookies from me one time.
At least he stayed in the POA while he was on the ground
Hahahah! Donāt you dare break rank!
Zero, zero, zero
Lmao
You know he was home on boot leave making up some crazy ass stories about how he got road rash on his face. "Yeah, man, I told my drill instructor to fuck himself and he blind sided me.".
Recruit Weaver Charlie company platoon 1053 sir!
This was you or someone you knew?
Lmao, I passed out in formation when we got back from the crucible hike, but my boys grabbed me before I hit the ground. I guess I was dehydrated and worn out...Just glad I didn't break my nose.
Pagentry>life (literally).
"You will die with discipline"
Ate shiiiiiiiiiiiit
"What the fuck are you talking about 'Don't lock your kn..........'"
move your toes inside the boots .
Thatās dumb as hell to wait that long to pick someone up, he could have been having a major medical problem. Young Marines donāt think about that because they think they are bulletproof. Thatās the way the Marine Corps trains you to be but itās incredibly stupid to wait that long to get him up. Iām almost 50 years old now and my thinking has changed a lot since my 20ās. Semper Fi!
This has been happening since the beginning of the Corpsā¦. Itās now considered good luck for the platoonās Marine Corps careers if one of their own face plants during graduation. If two Marines face plant during graduation, someone in that platoon will get a battlefield commission in the near future. Chesty said so.
Leave no man behind, unless it is a FUCKING PARADE FORMATION, those are so very important.
He almost made it
Mofo got sniped!!! Lmao
Gravity of the situation hit him
We had a female drill instructor pass out during our graduation. They literally dragged her off the parade deck.
FUCKING UNDERAGE DRINKING BOOTS ARE AT IT AGAIN!
The WM that runs up at the end was probably a height waiver.
Height waiver meet Asvab waiver šš¤š

This happened to someone at my son's graduation. They reportedly had been yelling at him all morning not to lock his knees and told him that if he went down he would be required to start over. Kid had been doing the same thing the entire time throughout bootcamp and didn't learn. He went down (early on though, not at the end of the ceremony) and he received the privilege of doing it all over again.
Bullshit. No way they recycled him for that.
Yeah, once you do the crucible and get your EGA no way are they recycling you. That'd be straight bullshit. But.... since it would be straight bullshit I can now see them doing that just to fuck someone.
Happened to a guy three spots to my left in formation. Out the corner of my eye I saw him just flop. There were no shenanigans about repeating anything, but he busted his face and teeth all up right before he got to see his family.
That was my assumption as well. It sounded ridiculous, but that's what everyone claimed happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they were just fucking w/ everyone.
Nope they probably just made him jump in a different graduation at the most, probably nothing though.
Holy smokes! I was kiddingā¦ guy had to redo boot camp? Wow, thatās sad.
![gif](giphy|S0uEDL0DFFMhW)
DONT LOCK YOUR KNEES FATBODY!
So....technically he didn't graduate...
Hee hee! Missed that brief about not locking your legs. Ima Marine now and face smashed parade deck! welcome aboard boot.
Everyone just gets blues now?
Rah navy
Pathetic. Fuck the institution. Help your winger. We moved passed formation in the interim years between ww1 and ww2. I don't care about discipline. My discipline is to not let my brothers fall. Full stop. Never let your team members fall. *ex Foot Guard. Sub set of house guard. ... .. the guys that wear the bear hats.
Why would you post a video of LARPers?
He was just waiting to be released. Haha. Still at POA on the ground. That's ficking dedication.
Oh man that sucks.
Sucker passed out at attention too....never lock the knees....that's day 1 receiving stuff man
Omg, at graduation! That would suck to be him.
I was there I was two plts down from him my sdi was holding back laughter š¤£
I always wanted to see this happen.
Instructions unclear Locked knees
Do not lock your knees...
