“BGP”?

I feel attacked.

Yep, that’s me in a nutshell, at least that will be when I enlist in the Navy

Are all Marines BGP’s or somethin’?
 
Eh, I know a guy who’s always wanted to join the military his whole life, but had some major heart surgery and stuff and got stuck with a 4F and a “no”. Some recruiter recently texted him saying he could have his heart checked again and if it clears he might could join, but he can’t afford the check.
 
Funny, though, vet friend of ours is like “No. Don’t.” And me and another joint friend are like, “why would you do that? Do you like being woken at 3am and forced to do someone else’s bidding all day in grueling work and abuse?”
 
It’s interesting, though, the whole honors thing.
 
And kind of funny.
 
I’ve been through some serious crap, and sometimes, as anyone I want honor and respect, so sometimes I can’t help but wonder which is harder. But I don’t think you can really say one is harder than the other. Bedridden, more pipes poking into my organs than I could keep track of, a massive cut that wouldn’t heal, superhuman effort just to walk 20 feet leaning on someone else… Or getting screamed at and abused all day for weeks at a camp in an uber-macho culture with no privacy. I didn’t have anyone yelling in my face, but the people who get yelled at in their face didn’t have to breathe through a pipe in their throat. I didn’t have to wake up at 3, but I couldn’t sleep more than a few hours. I had air conditioning, but often soaked the bed with cold sweats.
 
Life, the world, it’s odd and complex…
 
I’ll never experience even a tiny sliver of what life has to offer, but it’s an impossible miracle yet unavoidable that I experience anything at all and life exists. _{I get deep fast… Especially when it’s almost 6am, holy frick I need to sleep!…}

What would you do  
If I sang out of tune?
 
Kill. X3

All you need is kill.

Your personal trainer is a good businessman but full of shit

@Background Pony #239B  
i think he meant IRL (like in the presence of actual marines then introducing yourself AS a honorary marine)

@Combine03  
Can’t handle having to actually headshot people with that there sniper rifle?

@Background Pony #E534  
I own a Ka-Bar and a shirt that says Semper Fi. I even have a set of dog tags with Star Wars characters on them. Therefore, I’m a marine.

@Da5ch  
Pro-tip: Never call yourself an honorary Marine. At least not in the presence of real Marines…

This is cool, and made me laugh. Funny how I am the opposite of Rapid here: I am a school-age (well, college-age) human male who’s not in any kind of military force, but has a personal trainer who made me an honorary US Marine…and I use MLP in both its forms (FiM and EqG) to escape the hardships of my own life.

@Combine03  
Play Loadout then where death can be hilarious.

@Combine03  
Then play Spec Ops, you nancy. X3

With my understanding, this comic is set in a universe where humans don’t exist and have never existed, so I think “Mythological” would make sense. Also the fact that the “My little human” tag is also on here, their equivalent of MLP. AND, that RD is a pegasus, which don’t exist.

Kill

Good fun.
 
I would use ‘fictional’ rather than ‘mythological’, though.

“A-hem.”  
“Uh, I mean ‘kill’?”  
“Better.”

The first thing I think of when I see three interlocked gears is, “that doesn’t turn.”
