@burtonglobe I have nothing against the Marine Corps. My father was a retired MGySgt.. My brother was a marine, cousins, uncles.... I wanted to with all my heart and what held me back? Tattoo policy..... The ironic thing was I had gotten a tattoo that was supposed to be a USMC tattoo but I hadnt gotten the banners filled in with the goal of finishing it after Boot.... With that being said my tattoo is finished but I now am an 19D in the US Army. This is my home now

@jskeetz101 dont worry this has to be his last year word on the street says the next marine commandant is real old school with full of tats so have faith hang in there

[jskeetz101]

@burtonglobe He's a cunt son of a bitch.... He has denied many qualified men and women entry into the one fighting force that has overcome so much discriminations... He says its about upholding the professional look but that isnt what the marine corps stands for. Professional? yes! Against traditional marine art? No!

@jskeetz101 i agree the tattoo policy is bullshit

maybe he is a religious nut who has never seen combat like most officers these days

[jskeetz101]

FUCK THIS CUNT BASTERD AND HIS TATTOO POLICY.... ART DOESNT DEFINE THE MAN!
