The "stupid crap" is called discipline and is one of the major reason the Marine Corps has always been one of the most successful combat organizations in history.
If you consider this type of regulation too tough, you probably aren't suited to be a Marine - so you saved us and yourself the trouble...
Recommend that you try an easier service - that is, if joining any service wouldn't be too tough?
Looks to me like he’s pushing Army
My 15 months of combat in the worst spots in Iraq speaks for itself, thank you very much. It wouldn’t have been made any more successful had I not been allowed to proudly wear my uniform off-post.
Discipline is one thing. Idiotic decrees from higher-ups who seem to have nothing better to do is quite another.
