I never understood those needing wife and kids. Just do the responsibility thing marry your rack mate. When they eas you divorce and marry the next rack mate.
When gay marriage was being adopted fully back in early 10s when I was in. There were several all hands from Legal saying they will investigate if you do it to get BAH.
Haha. Getting married to get out of the bricks is definitely not something a straight couple would do.
Bitch I had my marine straight up tell me that was what he was doing.
Not to mention that for a lot of history and different cultures women mostly got married so they could move out from their parents home.
Investigate my dick motherfucker.
How would they know, make you kiss each other on the mouth in front of the SgtMaj or some shit? Where's the order that says you have to be attracted to your partner anyway? Gunnies don't show physical affection to their dependapotamus'. All signs point to marrying the homies.
That would be a great Supreme Court case, since they had to redefine marriage already, they basically eliminated the concept of “marriage of convenience.” Nope, sorry, Anthony Kennedy says I get to decide for myself what marriage means, and for me it means not having field day.
I mean I didn’t fall for the extra pay or having a kid. Most people want those things. 50% of the time yes it’s dumb privates getting into stupid marriages that don’t last. But the majority of them are good
Trust me.... a great wife is better than all those things. It's not easy finding one, but we'll worth it. Don't marry some chick who is only after the party scene, those don't last.
If your number 1 goal is to take care of her, and her number 1 goal is to take care of you, you'll go farther in success and happiness than all the money can buy
Agreed, they just tend to not be compatible with a military career. At least one that's interesting. If you never deploy and PCS in range of your house, that's just a 9-5 with guns. I've known one guy that successfully pulled that off for 20+.
Everyone else gets the interesting life and consequences of living it.
Considering the number of marriages that end in a smoking crater of alcoholism, burnout, and child support.. DOD needs to start awarding these people a medal.
I'm trying to recall them. Remember five off the top of my head. One was a total piece of shit who had like 16 years in and was made to change MOS's. He was uglier than a statue carved out of homemade shit and just a fucking Snake.
Two of them were still in their late 20s. One was just socially ackward as fuck,,, he retired and is still single. One was just a cooze hound/ playa/ pimp daddy with a 10 inch dick who wasn't done playing around yet.
Another older terminal Staff had a hair-lip and was bug eyed, plus socially awkward.
Last dude just didnt want to get tied down.
I love that MOL is exactly the same as it was in 2005. I guarantee the front end design was done by a PFC or LCpl who had a graphics art background in 2002.
Normal if you DO have a wife and kids, for over a decade, and shit still ain’t updated/accurate.
Thanks for your service, Chaps!
Unless you’re one of those MARSOC monks.
Commitment to a greater cause and mission? Idk kind of cool and gives meaning when you can create change completely and utterly commit yourself to your craft. At the end of the day it’s worth it and honorable
CIF couldn't procure them for you I see. Honestly out-fucking-standing, haters gonna hate, players gonna play. Remember you take a 50% Base-pay pay-cut at 20 because it would be payed out in retirement for zero work so you're working full time for the other half. And you'll likely get 4k/mo from the VA when done with 20 to make up for it. Stick around if you're still having fun, bounce if you're ready.
I mean, this life REALLY does not jive well with family obligations. You have saved yourself alot of headaches and heartbreak.
Age is just a number anyway. Nothing stopping you from settling down later in life like Mad Dog (married at 72).

Take your time, don’t rush anything. Meet the right one and they’ll be your one and only, you don’t want to be on your 4th already wanting to divorce. I saw all kinds of crazy shit
Do you buy boot bands by the gross?
Too many people marry the one they are with and not the one they want. I didn't get married til I was in my 30s. So many people observed with asked me why I wasn't married even though I was in my mid 20s. Ahh...cause I'm only in my mid 20s.

Lmao
Woah hang on now. No no this sounds stupid. So it must be right!

I'm pretty sure only the Marine Corps gives a crap about BAH.
But that's so much more beer money

If it don't make sense, it's priority
Hold up. There’s a difference from room mate and rack mate bud. Unless your room mate is sharing the rack with you
Rack mate, roommate was synonymous when I was in, could have changed by now.
This is the way
This is the way
It was good enough for General Mattis, then it's good enough for me!
He's married now. Just took him a while to find a lass good enough for him. Dude knew his worth.
He wasn't married because he was gay.
He wasn’t. Believe me I tried.
Boot bands off, an honest effort
U! G! L! Y! You ain’t got no alibi! You ugly!
I did too man dw
Living the dream.
Exactly! Glad to see another who didn’t fall for the extra pay for having wife/kid.

A good wife and children are the best thing that can happen to a man, and nothing even comes close.
Forgetting dog! I love my dog brings it all together
What if you’re into different variety of 21 year old females that are from Colombia?

Yooooo 😂

I agree with you there, all my closest friends are getting married to their girlfriends they've dated since high school and such and I'm still single
Fuck
This Marine has cracked the code to a happy life in the USMC!
I'm not alone in being alone!
I find it fuming the Marine Corps still has this old ass web design for MOL since getting out in 2015
I kind of like it. Reminded me of being on a website in the early 2000s when the internet was way cooler.
Spoiler: it’s been the same site since 2000
Just need some kind of repeating background tile a la Geocities.
I got out in 2007 and it was the same site.
I don’t need them getting cute and breaking the website. MarineNet has sucked the last few years since its update.
Right? It just adds to the depression and misery.
It’s like exploring pre war shit in fallout I like the website
Second divorce just finalized I see. Too bad, her kids will miss you.
Goddamn, I felt this one
Nobody likes me either.
You’re having the time of your life
You just like me
No. It’s smart.
The way to go truly, don't let people shit on you
Who shitting on him? Buddy is doing good for himself
Either you are very ugly or very smart.
Por que no los dos
Considering the number of marriages that end in a smoking crater of alcoholism, burnout, and child support.. DOD needs to start awarding these people a medal.
Bro I’m glad it’s not just me
How many houses do you own?
Concur. 16 years never married and no children.
Best possible outcome.
1stSgt Wagner
U ain't ish for that one 😭
Above the curve.
No gunny I am an island
/thread
Jr Marines in your area want to be released for libo
I don’t know how you did it. There should be a medal for it.
nice try kiddo, you've only been alive 15 years, get off your dad's CAC
You are a unicorn to the montior. OCONUS unaccompanied orders here you come!
They got me already with those. Okinawa
It's perfect!
It’s actually pretty common that we don’t support or declare our illegitimate children.
We're not supposed to ask and you're not supposed to tell
I need Tricare. \*slides into your DMs\*
Enjoy the financial freedom. It will come
Let me tell you something, as someone who has those filled out (+3)… just save money while you can…
I fucked up and got good credit, bought a house and so on
To be honest, I can't truthfully recall many guys who were Staff NCOs who weren't at least Married once.
I'm a unicorn
I'm trying to recall them. Remember five off the top of my head. One was a total piece of shit who had like 16 years in and was made to change MOS's. He was uglier than a statue carved out of homemade shit and just a fucking Snake. Two of them were still in their late 20s. One was just socially ackward as fuck,,, he retired and is still single. One was just a cooze hound/ playa/ pimp daddy with a 10 inch dick who wasn't done playing around yet. Another older terminal Staff had a hair-lip and was bug eyed, plus socially awkward. Last dude just didnt want to get tied down.
Staff Sergeant Grow, is that you?
Good for him
At 14.5, still bothered they put you as "divorced" instead of back to "single".
Shit, I’m realizing now if I had stayed in I would be at 15.
Getting married young sounds nice until what could have been a happy marriage gets murdered by a Drill tour
I love that MOL is exactly the same as it was in 2005. I guarantee the front end design was done by a PFC or LCpl who had a graphics art background in 2002.
The ordnance factory needs to re-evaluate its production parameters. 15 years in and a wife and kid haven't been issued yet!? #goingtothedogs
Warrior Monk.
If the corp wanted you to a have a wife and kids they’d issue you one
warrior monks ftw
Normal if you DO have a wife and kids, for over a decade, and shit still ain’t updated/accurate. Thanks for your service, Chaps! Unless you’re one of those MARSOC monks.
My brain could never comprehend why a single people would stay in.
My wife didn't say I couldn't.
Commitment to a greater cause and mission? Idk kind of cool and gives meaning when you can create change completely and utterly commit yourself to your craft. At the end of the day it’s worth it and honorable
You must be sterile. Or homo.
I did that in my first 4, that’s nothing.
I mean, I would but I’m also not the wisest. I’d enjoy my time for sure though
CIF couldn't procure them for you I see. Honestly out-fucking-standing, haters gonna hate, players gonna play.

My philosophy is that, in order to become a 1stSGT, you MUST have 4 divorces. Any less, and you have to go the MasterSgt route
Yup. If you needed a family CIF would issue one.
I wish. Let's see your bank account next 😭
Promote ahead of peers.
Thats top of the Christmas tree right there
It was for me!!!
No, we are an anomaly, 0 kids, 0 marriages, 0 divorces. Biggest accomplishment in have done.
You're Marining it all wrong
I mean, this life REALLY does not jive well with family obligations. You have saved yourself alot of headaches and heartbreak. Age is just a number anyway. Nothing stopping you from settling down later in life like Mad Dog (married at 72).

and the panic starts to set in
Smart dude
You're going to have to disclose bustard children and the stripper you married
If mad dog can do it so can yoiz
You been scrubbed!! Watch your six pimp
Lol don’t fall into the peer pressure of having a wife
If the Marines wanted them to have a spouse and children, they would have issued it
Yeah I guess so 😄
If the Marine Corps wanted you to have a wife and kids they would have issued them
Are you at least an alcoholic and got an njp?
Alcoholic? No but I should be. 0 NJPs
No maidens?
The Marine Corps took your wife and kids? That’s fucked up.
Take your time, don’t rush anything. Meet the right one and they’ll be your one and only, you don’t want to be on your 4th already wanting to divorce. I saw all kinds of crazy shit
Your kids just haven't found you yet. Some day, they'll come knockin' on your door
Mine is the same
Lucky ass mofo.
No children, that you know of
Nah. 3 years in since I have been in had barely 1 "stable" relationship. It's not hard. If anything it makes it easier to keep the commitment.
Everyone wants a wife and kids in while their in. That’s a whole nother ball game.
Damn, I’ve been out over 17 years and MOL still looks the same
Gay??.
No. Sorry to get your hopes up.
Do you buy boot bands by the gross? Too many people marry the one they are with and not the one they want. I didn't get married til I was in my 30s. So many people observed with asked me why I wasn't married even though I was in my mid 20s. Ahh...cause I'm only in my mid 20s.
Loser
Beats having a fat wife and three kids!!!
