Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
LUNCH? Nick
Tasting a snake
Eating to stay alive he’s eating a snake or parts of it or it’s a frog anyway it doesn’t look good yukee
J.E.S.T.? Snack time the day after. Tired of M.R.E.’s.?
Drinking snake blood for jungle survival, what else! Semper FI
yes
SWALLOWING A SWORD IS TOO EASY – SNAKES LIKE TO CURL UP AS THEY GO DOWN – SO IMPROVISE ADOPT AND SWALLOW.
Whatever he’s doing, it’s not kosher.
It’s like craw fish, sucking the good stuff out. Killers choice!
Pulling out a jungle tape worm. They get big in the jungle.
Semper Fi

You have 10 seconds to finish your meal…then up and out !!
Dining on C-Rats leftover from WWII and Korea
Massaging his tongue.
Is this all that Sgt Grit can find to publish?
All absolutely hilarious!!!….except RT; sometimes a sense of humor is all there is when death is the other option, and guess what: you don’t have to read Sgt. Grit. To the rest, thanks for the much appreciated laughs in these deadly times. SEMPER FI!!!!!
For the rest of you here’s a hint: snakes are cold blooded animals.
Replies are humerous. Sucking on a snake photo? Nothing to laugh about!
Its a part of a snake blood drinking ritual! Not in person but I’ve seen this before. Many Marines stationed at where he’s stationed(my apologies I can’t remember) take part in this ritual. It’s not sure if it’s legal or allowed but it gets done regardless. Semper Fi!

Asshole to asshole, couldn’t make a beer fart in a whirlwind!
That’s right!
Snacking on a snake. Probably beats what passed for ‘tasty’ in the old C-Rats
Cobra Gold exercises, Tai jarheads. Oki. Something taste fishy..Oorah!
I don’t recall ever having to do that in the Marines as part of training. USMC 72-74
I never did that in my Corps training and not sure if I would have done it. I was in 1960 to 66. I read the men were drinking snake blood. No thanks. I’d rather eat grass. but then I became a vegan vegetarian in 1985 and now I eat a lot of grass. Only kidding because I got a great wife who cooks up a storm for this old man. I’ll be 82 in a few weeks and I am still doing push-ups and other stuff. The Marine Corps was the best thing that ever happened to me. 33 years after boot camp I wrote a letter to Sgt. Jimmy E. McCall, one of my junior DI’s, for making a man out of me. The Commandant forwarded it on my behalf. He was one heck of a Marine and I could never pay him back for what he did for me as a recruit, besides kicking my butt on a regular basis. I never resented it and on graduation day he told me he gave me ‘special attention’ because he thought I’d make a good Marine. He was only 3 years older than me and is now deceased. I even wrote a note of gratitude to his son and daughter. God Bless the Marine Corps and all the others who served in our military for the cause of freedom. Semper Fi.
SEMPER Fi Marine

Looks like this MARINE is reminding us that he who speaks with fork tongue is not telling the truth! LOL ? SEMPER FI!
panama nuff said
I sincerely apologize RT! I thought you were a United States Marine. That certainly wasn’t the grossest thing a Marine in combat saw.
ONE MORE TIME MARINES, THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS.
Willard…I am a Marine…MCRDPI 1966…Vietnam 1966/1967 and I have seen worse. I just don’t like snakes.
Having a snake as as a snake and teaching it a lesson of not to mess with a Marine. Oooh Rahhh! Semper Fi!

Enjoying a meal. Poison end last. Semperfi.
