Jayson Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Some people are Marine Corps clean and want to rub it in on people who are less than that - even if it's only somewhat less. In other words, totally clean is the only good answer. Anyway, though, looking at my own times of being sloppy, I don't respect seeing this in other people which is hypocritical. I've also seen incredibly dirty places where it was just too disgusting to stay that long. O.K., well, I'd like to be clean but if others are there it's a two or more-person job. Anyhow, I just don't have the mindset like some people to organize things that well. Once things are unorganized then things gradually devolve into being dirty. How can you stay on top of the game with organization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) First off, I can tell you that the USMC is not clean. I know because I was there. They're rigid about a lot of things, but they don't give a shit about cleanliness. As for myself, I like a clean house and clean clothes. I'm not talking eat off the floor clean and sparkling underwear, but clean nonetheless. Edited February 21, 2022 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide details? Pretty much all the military is a clean freak environment. It's like working in a restaurant.

Altair Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I moved back in with my mom and she is like this. Everything has to be totally clean and spick and span. She is a neat freak and goes overboard. . I on the other hand am a messy person. It is not a good mix however, I do make sure I'm extra clean for her. Quote First off, I can tell you that the USMC is not clean. I know because I was there. They're rigid about a lot of things, but they don't give a shit about cleanliness. Thats interesting. I always thought of UCMS requiring cleanliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I've seen tons of people who are not clean. You wouldn't think they'd be that way. However, they are. If you do encounter, clean freaks, they assume all normal people are clean and those who are not are degenerates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm wrong about this one. I mean, if working in a major fancy restaurant chain mean obsession with cleanliness, then why would the military be less?

If you really want an accurate picture what being in the military (or anything for that matter), you shouldn't base your assumptions on a fictional story. Find something factual like a documentary, article, reference book or ask someone with real world experience like @The Blackangel in this case. You might be right about some of your assumptions but you don't know that and the movie Full Metal Jacket is not a reference source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the battlefield, the last thing the military is worried about is cleanness. They don't stay in safe clean spots, they go into dangerous environments; get dirt, sand, mud, and water everywhere. And they have to wipe blood after every little skirmish. They ain't clean, they're in the middle of deserts, swamps, forests, and every other difficult place on Earth.

Jayson Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well, what else do they do? Do they get off nap-time at noon? Give me a break! I know the military isn't as "tough" as portrayed maybe, but they have to be clean - because otherwise would be dangerous in situations where disease could be prevented etc.. Also, of course, it just reinforces the hard discipline needed in the military, police force - where lives are on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Being neat and orderly is not inherently OCD. OCD occurs when you feel you must have everything clean, that there's no choice and if you try and resist it feels awful. Cleaning the house and making it sparkle isn't OCD. Scrubbing it from morning to night until your hands bleed because you can't make it perfect enough is. It's a matter of degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egghead Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I take shower every day and clean my hands and feet few times in a day but I am not cleanliness freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I love being clean, but that doesn't mean I'm freakingly clean. I take showers when necessary, especially when I'm feeling hot, or when I'm sweating. But, I don't miss taking morning showers to look cool, lol.
