Why Do So Many Marines Have Trucks?
I work on a Marine military base and half the guys here own trucks as their POV. Are they in the land-scaping business? No. Are they in the furniture moving business? No. Do they have 4x4s or motorcycles they need to transport? No. The flatbeds of their trucks are vacant 99% of the time, and when they’re not vacant they’re loaded with something small that can fit in any trunk. Some guys have their flatbeds vacant 100% of the time. They literally NEVER use them.
So I don’t understand this need to buy and drive trucks. Why do they spend thousands of dollars on a vehicle with features and equpiment they never use? I mean what’s next… they’re gonna come to work in a 18-wheel semi? Why stop there, why not come to work in an excavator with 6-foot tires and huge bucket? What’s up with all this heavy machinery? Does it make Marines feel more macho to drive heavy equipment? I mean, they don’t use the "truck" part of their vehicles at all. They just use them to get from point A to point B. It’s like using a tank to go to the store to pick up a couple of beers. I mean, really? Do they need the size and power of a gas-guzzling Ford F-350 V8 everywhere they go? I doubt it. So why do they get these huge trucks all the time? And it’s not just a couple of people. Almost HALF the Marines here have trucks!!! I’m like… WTF is going on? What’s up with all these trucks? What are they for?
I know it sounds like I’m mad or angry but I’m not. More than anything, I’m frustrated and confused because I don’t understand what’s going on and I like to understand things. Someone explain it to me. Thanks.

Marines like trucks. And the tail gate is a perfect place to put an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor.
Hey everyone, including the marines on your base have the right to drive whatever vehicle they want.
It’s very masculine
They aren’t filled during the daytime on base, but on liberty will a cute girl they picked up.
my fiance is a marine and he says the same thing lol. however, some people just like trucks. if you dont have something large to tow does that mean you cant own a truck? last time i checked, as long as theyre buyin it, they can have whatever kind of vehicle they want
Is this really something that your racking your brain about? If they want to drive a truck, then why is it any of your frickin’ business!
