You awake right away from your cryostasis chamber, spotting the 'Honorary' men and women of the USCM yelling in pain and calling for a doctor, as their PTSD kicks in, you remember about that one time McBaldie lit you on fire midway the operation, and you scream in agony as the phantom pain takes over your body, joining the mind numbing march of these battle scarred men and women."

The fuck ups and scum of the earth all gather around in this giant dissapointment of an army branch that is called 'United States Marine Corps' you are probably in just to kill your friends with no repercusions, or you joined to look 'cool' or 'badass' with the big 'guns' that the corps can hand out for free, you may take a glance at your rifle jarhead, because it may be made in China.

Shitty guns smuggled by the local gun store owner are more effective than the nerf guns handed out by the corps
