I am in the Army, not the Marines, but such bullshit should not be tolerated.
I don't know. Not looking to make a big stink, especially as a lowly PFC.
Technically the RE (religious education) is an option, we were not forced to attend them, but who wants to stay back in the squad bay when you're allowed to get an escape for a few hours, he he. Just seems like it'd do more harm than good. Don't know how I feel about it. Would've been much nicer if they had an actual atheist or agnostic come in and allow us to speak about atheism, science, skepticism, philosophy, etc. And another thing, why not have someone from other religions than Christianity each week if they were going to open our minds to new avenues. Ah well.
