I knew many douche bag Marines when I was with the Infantry and then the Air Group, and they're mostly Non-NCOs; not to me since they know I can gave them the silver bullet.
Anyway, alnielsen never said it better!
I do miss working on my car on base/in post, the Auto Shop has car bays with a lift and basic tools you need provided that you leave your ID and pay the hourly or day charge. It's weird, I thought it's counter intuitive to lower a car in Hawaii, since I've heard that the roads there are shitty

 

I'll work on saying it better next time.

 

I'm finally picking up a rx8 and im a combat engineer on oahu. I've owned a rx7 for 8 years now and i talked to a local the other day at midas. I was getting a safety and he started talking about a rx3 he used to own. At first I thought he was bs'ing me but after talkin to him for 10 minutes i picked his brain, he knew a lot about rotary engines and their mazda history. Not all guys are dicks but at my in brief we were told that a lot of locals have it out for the military here.

I was suprised to see how many military guys own rx8s on base. I think it is def a case by case basis but i wouldn't doubt that there are a lot of idiots out there. I should be getting the rx8 tuesday and I would prob talk a guys ear off if he approached me about a mazda club.

 

Navy does what they do well and the Marines do what they do well......it's just not a good idea to mix the two (the list of reasons is endless) unless the Marines need a ride to war. I'm a Marine and that's my experience from working w/Navy. We just do things differently and not all Marines are like that. That's my two cents.
