They only thing i have is.....an mp5.....airsoft

I dont take shit from strange people ever!  Like is said, I'm surprised how he handled himself if it was me i'd be in jail.

Btw is your Mp5 made from plastic? Or does it have some metal parts? Especially the trigger mechanism.

just to let you know tef he's not a marine yet he is currently in DEP program, so his cammies aren't issued - they don't have a name tap on them and if they do then he must have them on himelf .... its kindly like purchasing your own cammies, you can wear them where ever what stood him out in a public place is, cammie bottoms and marine corps tee and he probably is sporting the high and tight
but once stryyker goes through boot camp he'll know you can not wear cammies off base into a civilan building unless for emergencys

What about when I see Army guys at the airport or on the subway in their ACUs? Or is it just a USMC thing? Or do they wear them when they're heading back to base?

So I'm walking from my car to a local provider of groceries in downtown Newport Beach this afternoon, on my way to work. Now, I had just finished with some Marine-related classes, so I was still dressed in my Cammie pants, boots, and secksy OD shirt.

I'm minding my own business, strolling through the isles looking for Pop tarts, when I start to notice the "upper class" members of the supermarket are glaring at me. I go up to the 10 items or less line, it has about 8 people in it. I have my poptarts (strawberry, frosted), A bottle of milk, bread, jelly, honey, ice, and a copy of Mountain Bike magazine. Now things get interesting.


The lady at the counter seems nice enough, but the other patrons are another story. The bag boy doesn't bag my groceries. I kinda shrug and start bagging it myself, while he sits in the little conclave and breathes at me. Awkward.

So after an ornate about face to get my change, the man behind me goes off. He is mid to late 30's. He has an A & F t-shirt on, expensive warn jeans, and what looked like Nike Air 2.0's (red).

He goes into various anti-war slander, the usuall

"Bush sucks.... Republicans are losing the war"

"dying in vain"

"Peace now"

etc.

Now, this goes on for a good 3 minutes, with other people in line joining in to the mans crusade against me. Then it got personal. A blond bimbo trophy wife second to last in line SCREAMS at me, "I hope you AND all of your friends DIE in Iraq for being so ignorant!"

Oh bitch, best not be saying that to a D.E.P'ing Marine that just had his first week of hand to hand combat training.

Now, this whole time, I had stood there, studious like, taking it all in. But now it was my turn.

First was the man. I commented on his appearance, and what it showed me. I went through the whole line of people belittling me and the others who didn't have a voice. It felt good.

Then, after I was done, the bimbo lady says to me again, "And what do you have to show for yourself hotshot?"

I did a quarter turn to my right, where a flag was hanging from the ceiling. I came to attention and saluted, while saying:

"I am a Citizen of the United States of America, A United States Marine, A Firefighter for this state. I think I've shown enough."

End salute, about face, and I walked out of the store.



Now, aside from being able to assert my linguistic skills into a situation, doesn't that situation feel.... Wrong?

First off you are not a Marine until you walk across the parade deck and get handed your EGA by your DI. Second why on earth would you walk out into town in your utilities? Even if you are not a Marine yet you are a direct reflection on the Marine Corps if you are in the delayed entry program. Do you know what would happen to me if I walked into a store in town in my cammies? Let's just say my life would be hell for the next six months for disrespecting the Corps, my uniform and my unit. Please until you actually finish recruit training and earn the title US Marine do not refer to yourself as one.

I know I crack on my state and conservativism a lot, but for what it's worth, you'd never experience this shit in NC -- unless you were in Chapel Hill.

Anyway, these are the kind of people that embarass me.  These are the people that give liberals a bad name.

I think you'll find that Southern liberals are a very different breed, and we like guns just as much as the conservatives do...  lol

We also respect servicemen, even if we don't agree with the war.  Thankfully, things have changed a lot since Vietnam, although it sounds like they haven't much in California.

The majority of the state isnt like this, but there is a... cultural barrier in some parts. I work in Newport Beach, the median home price there is over a million dollars. I was raised lower middle class. Its like the residents shun people that arent of their wealth status.
