Today, I couldn't sleep and in the process of tossing and turning I did something very painful to my back. I spent 4 years in the marine corps infantry, but laying in a bed kicks my ass. FML

sigh...... #54 was trying to tell the idiot commenter to shut up, give our armed forces some respect, and lets see THEM try to do 4 years in the Marines(because they most likely wouldn't make it). That was the point of their comment..... Very relevant......

Why don't you go into the Marine for 4 years? You won't be able to survive that long.

I don't believe you were in the Marines, nor do I believe anyone else here who has posted thus far. Because I've NEVER seen a true Marine NOT capitalize the "M".. I've only seen the fake ones do it. Even if they don't use any other type of capitalization, they do it for the word Marine... Plus any self deserving Infantryman does the same for the word "Infantry".. If you did serve, you were probably some pog washout anyway. It's possible.. But not probable.

#37 i disagree. once you join the services let us know. i don't use correct capitialization for the branch of service i'm in, why flaunt it around? we're in the military, that's a proud enough reason, why correct people? shut up :). seeing as how we kindaaaaa sortaaaa give you the right to type this shit out! ;) ;) (i'm sure people are gonna bitchhhhhhhhh, but you just can't all take a joke sometimessss) "if you can read this, thank a teacher. if you can read this in english, thank a soldier."

"Once I join the services"? I'm active duty Infantry dumbass, so don't assume anything. If you don't capitalize the branch of service you're in, you're an idiot. Have you ever written anything for your branch of service? Counseling Statement, NCOER, etc? You have to do it, and you're First Sergeant would kick it back if it's not, if he is worth a damn. We have to have it say "Army" it has to say "Soldier".. It's called a proper noun. And the Marines harp on Esprit De Corps so much, which is why they always do it, more noticeably than others. And #49, it's not that I say Marines are self important ass, it's just how it is. Marine is a proper noun, just as Soldier, Sailor, or Airman, and is supposed to start with a capital letter. Just how it is.

NOPE I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A COUNSELING STATEMENT (NOT A NEGATIVE ONE AT LEAST) BECAUSE I AM A SQUARED AWAY SOLDIER. :) :) Only positive ones! PLUS, they usually use this thingyyy called a computer where lykeeeeee they fill in the little blank parts we have to fill out, and just likeeeeee sign, check yes, initial, and you're good to go!!! :-* so silly, you can calm down! no need to get super angry, i'm just as HOOAH as anybody else! i'm all for SOLDIERS etc. it's just i didn't hit the lil shift button thingy to make it "proper", my b!!! haha

So true, #37. Any Marine will give you a verbal beatdown if you refuse to capitalize "Marine".

So many of those wouldn't be as messed up as they are now if it wasn't for the US's greed and stupidity

Ya and you've seen every marine type the word marine so you're an expert. This site needs mods.

That just made me laugh. Big thumbs up to you!

Hey, but at least you have a sense of humor!! Back pain just sucks, doesn't it?

so what u hurt ur back everyone does that no matter what their job is or was

YDI for submitting such a bullshit FML. You hurt yourself turning over in a bed, big deal. People do that all the time, regardless of if they were in the marines, army, etc. Football players can hurt themself doing that. It has to do with the bed, especially box-spring mattresses. & what's with everyone asking girls if they're PMSing just because they're telling someone off? Men are so ignorant...-.-" I agree with #1 completely.
