What is a silver bullet?
Is a silver bullet real?
Witnessed one in MCT. Marine went up to a Corpsman, said she needed to stop and rest because she was on the verge of overheating and didn’t want to end up with the bullet. To which the (also female) Corpsman replied “Well, if you’re on the verge of a heat case, I need to take your temperature.” MAJOR backfire on the Marine’s part.
- Boot. One may think the word boot refers to the rugged footwear worn by members of the military. In some contexts, that will be the case. Boot primarily refers to an inexperienced Marine, what other professions refer to as a rookie.
- General Parking. The PX and commissary on most bases have designated parking for the most senior ranks. They will be labeled “SGTMAJ” or “O-6 and Above”.
- Field Day. As a student before entering the service, field day was a fun-filled day of games and competition outdoors. There were potato sack races, wheelbarrow races and a tug-of-war.
- Silver bullet. In popular culture, a silver bullet is something that provides an immediate and extremely effective solution to a given problem, especially one that is very complex or hard to resolve.
- The silver bullet. Probably the most popular slang "medical" term in any branch. Typically, temperature is taken orally, but if someone falls out of a hike or PT because of heat exhaustion...
- Having sick call in your barracks room. When Corpsmen get stationed with the Marines (also known as the Greenside), you typically live with them in the barracks.
- Bore punching. Working sick call as a boot Corpsman, you'll get exposed to some interesting on-job-training. Bore punching is a euphemism for swabbing male genitals for an STD with a 6 inch Q-tip.
- Finger waving. No, this isn't the newest break dancing move or a classy way to hit on someone at the bar — it's the alternative name for a rectal exam.
Sep 21, 2023 · The silver bullet is not the Master Gunny’s giant coffee percolator in the COC, nor is it the metaphor for a simple, seemingly magical solution to a difficult problem. The silver bullet is the rectal thermometer the Corpsman will use to check your core temperature. It may very well be a lifesaving effort, but you will feel mortified.

While in the School of Pain, at some point you’ll be assigned an official MOS. Depending on the needs of the Corps you’ll get to pick (kind of) from a number of jobs. I will write an entire page covering a full Marine Infantry MOS lost and the core responsibilities of each job, but this page is mostly about infantry life, so I’ll just give you skin...
On days when you aren’t out in the field camping and training, you’ll be in the barracks. Some barracks are nice, others should be condemned. It’s really hit or miss when it comes to living conditions in the Marines. Usually when in garrison you will be doing administrative tasks like paperwork, online training, physical training, etc. A typical da...
I really can’t talk about being a Marine without talking about hiking. In training, you’ll learn that a Marine’s primary means of transportation is on foot. Sure, we get to ride in Osprey helicopters, Humvees, and boats from time to time, but when the shit hits the fan one thing Marines can always rely on is their ability to hike. I really enjoyed ...
