"The Big Green Weenie"

Justin and I are getting the Big Green Weenie...
Now before you go off thinking we're getting some kind of sex toy let me explain what the "Big Green Weenie" is.
Urban Dictionary defines it as:

When you are in the Marine Corps and your boss
f**** you over big time, making it feel like you
have the Marine Corp's Big Green Weenie right
up your a** hole with no anal ease even offered.


or my favorite

Something that you will eventually get and
continue to get once you become a Marine.
Getting the "big green weenie" may include
such fine events as: getting f***** with
duty on a particularly important weekend,
getting in trouble for some small petty s***
while being in garrison, getting stationed at
a s***hole like 29 Dumps.
The "big"
represents the big bad Marine Corps
picking on the little guy, the Marine. The
"green" represents the true color of the
Corps. The "weenie" represents getting
f***** over.


I'm sure you understand what it is by now.

Now, we've gotten lucky in the past. For example: Justin EAS's right after his unit deploys to Afghanistan so he doesn't have to go. He almost had to go to RIMPAC for 3 weeks but his Granny ended up passing away a couple days before they left. So instead of going we were able to take emergency leave and go home. (Now I don't consider having his Granny pass away as being lucky, we were not happy about this in any means. But it did get him out of going to RIMPAC)
However, we have also been f***** by the Marine Corps' Big Green Weenie before. Justin had 24hr duty at least once a week for 5 weeks right after he got back from a deployment. It was ridiculous. That's really been the worst once, so I won't go on. But now, we might be getting it hard time...

Justin just got back from a 7 month deployment a little over 3 months ago. It was just to Okinawa, but it still sucked. I'm about to go a little off topic here but I really want to let this out. I get sick and tired of people saying that, "Oh, he's just going to Okinawa. At least it's not Afghanistan. It won't be that bad." Ok. First of all I was to say (before people start to twist my words around) that I AM sooo grateful that it is not to Afghanistan or Iraq. But it's still a deployment! We're still going through the separation! The separation itself is hard! Yes, with combat deployments you have to worry about other stuff other than the separation. I am in no way trying to say that noncombat deployments are just as hard as combat deployments. I can only imagine how hard a combat deployment is! And I highly respect those ladies who go through combat deployments. But ANY deployment is hard. NO deployment is easy. No matter where they go! Okay. I've said it. But as I was saying. Another battery in Justin's unit is leaving in 3 weeks for Okinawa (not his battery). We found out yesterday that one of the mechanics in that battery might not be able to go and out of all the Cpl mechanics in the unit, only 2 could replace him. And Justin is one of them. So in other words. My husband might be deploying in 3 weeks back to Okinawa for 8 months this time. I feel like I'm having my own little version of Army Wives going on. Only I have a little more time and it's not as long.
We should hopefully now by the end of the week if he's going or not. I feel myself trying to prepare for it, but every time I think about it my heartbreaks! I just got him back. One good thing is I could get back into deployment mode very easily but I really don't want to. It's like going on a diet. But there's no possible way for you to cheat. It sucks.
Anyway. That's what's going on right now. I'll keep you all updated on whether or not he'll be going.

  1. That really sucks. Like big time sucks. I hope your man doesn't have to leave again. I can't relate in any way at all because my family members who are in service are Coast Guard, and they've only been sent three or four hours away so we haven't had to experience any of that.

    I would hate being separated from my husband for so long though. Definitely makes me appreciate our quality time more.

  2. Yeah. I'm trying to cherish every moment I get with him right now. I hate looking at him and thinking that these could be the last few moments we have together before he leaves for 8 months. It sucks...
