It’s that favorite time of the year again, when we get incredibly drunk at birthday balls and plot our attacks on unsuspecting restaurants to cash in on those Veteran’s Day freebies. The combination of the Marine Corps Birthday and Veteran’s Day in one weekend is enough to send any motivator into a self-indulgent patriot spiral of alcohol and red-white-and-blue pancakes at IHOP, so tread carefully this weekend.
For you Staff NCO’s out there, remember that if you have a moto-boner lasting more than 4 hours, see a Corpsman.
This weekend doubles in both birthday shenanigans and Veteran’s Day freebies, which is why I tried to fit both in today’s comic. For those of you like myself that have no shame in getting free shit this weekend, below is a list of free food (that I tactically acquired from USA Today) you can partake in this Sunday for active duty and veterans.
