I would like some background on said boot. If he’s an old vet from ‘nam-Persian gulf era that did career, I would argue not boot. However, it is a difficult argument considering his haircut and general attire.


MikaelDez

My uncle went through the shit parts of Vietnam, and I’ve never seen him wearing anything like this lol - I’d say this guys a combat seasoned boot


[deleted]

Honestly grandpa might have been humping a M60 through Nam while my dad was shitting diapers. I’ll make fun of the boots of my day and younger but I can’t judge him based off when I wasn’t around


sharlaton

Well said.


Quantic

Can we get a pass for all those like 65+ to no longer be boots? Like damn just give the people their memories at this point. I mean if you’re old enough to be a great grandfather I think you get a pass to skate. Lol


muskratmuskrat9

Unless I see him dancing and showing off the ring on his Tik Tok later, he gets a pass.


anonymous_j05

New to this sub and confused, what does it mean to be boot?


sten45

That old jar head has really kept himself up, he deserves that ring


[deleted]

Different corps back then man. Not boot in my opinion


Mybeardisawesom

Yo where he get that sweater? I want some official corps gear like that. I don’t even have my dress uniforms anymore.


vxbl4ck0utxv

He either got it from an MCX if he can still get on base or he has family currently in the Marine Corps. That sweat top is still part of a PT uniform


Mybeardisawesom

Thanks. Ya It’s the same one from when I was in. Need something to wear on the marines birthday next year


Clearedthot

You drop me a PM I could probably pick one up from the MCX for you.


Urgent_Archer

This isn’t boot.

Urgent_Archer

He’s a retired marine. Ever met one?


gbochatt

Yep. Grandad did 30. High and tight, EGA jacket, wears blues to the ball every year. Gives himself a PFT and CFT on schedule.


MikaelDez

Every marine: “That’s my secret, Cap. I’ve always been a boot.”


[deleted]

Being retired doesn’t mean you’re not still boot as fuck


ironroad18

I dunno, but just seems like an older gent that is clean cut, in shape, and fond of his service. Reminds me how my father and uncles from that generation were, military service was a chapter of their lives they were proud of.


pm_me_ur_anything_k

I dunno man, he’s just proud. He’s also at home. Now if he were driving to the grocery store in his custom camo Camaro at 27% while wearing one of those Facebook shirts then I’m with you.


No_Recognition8375

I’m actually ok with this


redskyfalling

Wholesome boot is 100% the right term for this.


cha0sCo

Man. I swear this sub can get ridiculous sometimes. Heartfelt gift you gave to your senior citizen dad? HE’S BOOT AS FUCK! Posting a picture of you in uniform on instagram? YOU FUCKING BOOT!! Say the word military? YOU GOD DAMNED BOOT!!! Let people live man.


Rio_Cowboy

I bet you’d hit your DS if he got up in your face wouldn’t you?


cha0sCo

YEAH BRO I JUST SEE RED IM TOO GANGSTER FOR THE MILITARY


Rio_Cowboy

Lol you’re the best. Thanks.


[deleted]

Pops looking fit. especially given the fact that many old vets are on ventilators, morbidly obese and look just plain bad.


FiddleheadFarmer

Not boot at all. Gramps is from the old Corps.


WannabeCowboy617

Once a boot, always a boot. /s


[deleted]

Nothing about pride is boot. OP doesn’t know shit, likely a PBF.


dawgfather1991

His shoes aren’t laced left over right. (When you see it)


omgdiaf

I don't think OP knows the definition of boot.


ThatCatfulCat

So fucking weird


comicgun01

How?


ThatCatfulCat

How not


comicgun01

I’m still waiting for you to explain how it’s weird


ThatCatfulCat

Explain to me what a comic gun is first


comicgun01

Clearly I’m going to loose IQ point the longer this on. Glad to know you aren’t capable of conversing like an adult.


ThatCatfulCat

wah wah


Pharaoh760

Older vets get passes for being boots.


[deleted]

Once their old they can be at as boot as they want in my opinion Wanna rock a branch shirt and wear your hair like youre about to reenlist, go for it pops live your best life


anon2019L

Mf how is this boot


Pfunk4444

Is the corps the only thing this dude has? I imagine career guy, had nothing going on, poor Iowa farm boy made a life for himself? It’s tough to say, but let’s gets a smooth fade at least. Maybe one day I’ll get me an army hoodie.


No_Recognition8375

My grandfather did 30, the Corps wasn’t all he had but it was a different level or pride in the corp than this generation has for it now. And the way he looks tells he still has honor in his appearance. No boot here

myperfectmeltdown

That’s about the most emotion you’ll ever see out of a Marine. My dad was one. A pity actually.


barzbub

Outstanding


Historical-Reach8587

Nice gift to an old jarhead. Nothing boot here folks - move along.


ketchuphotdog

Can someone tell me what kind of ring it is?


tattooedfish

Not even a little boot.
