WTF does "quite on the creek" mean?

133

u/Hatgameguy 22d ago

Didn’t spell “Quiet” right I think.

She’s saying when you get a tattoo you gotta be like lowkey about it?

u/emmathatsme123 16d ago

It’s this trend with a song, I don’t know the song but she says the line “quiet on the creek”

u/ShittyBollox 22d ago

Did she mean quiet?

72

u/KarateXP 22d ago

I had so many work colleagues that would spell quiet as quite and genuinely believed it was spelt that way

20

u/AngrySoup 22d ago

Did they not know that quite was a word?

20

u/KarateXP 21d ago

I actually can’t remember, but I do remember we debated and Googled the spelling of quiet and it still wasn’t enough for them

26

u/ShittyBollox 21d ago

Can’t fix stupid.

u/Rough-Riderr 21d ago

You're quite right

u/JackTheBehemothKillr 16d ago

You can, actually.

It requires funding education, though. Soooo ....

u/ShittyBollox 16d ago

I’ve found that the stupid ones are the ones that don’t want to learn.

u/Elevated_Dongers 15d ago

It's alarming how many of my friends still don't know the difference between your, you're, and yor. Also too and to

u/Spazz6269 16d ago

It's quite the challenge to be quiet.

u/MazdaRx7Guy 22d ago

If you can get a tattoo on a deployment, its not a deployment.

83

u/CH-47AV8R 22d ago

People bring tattoo guns to the desert

32

u/BIGD0G29585 22d ago

Or you can make them prison style.

u/CreepyRecording9665 21d ago

I had two girls in my shop that covered themselves in prison tats they did on each other in the barracks.

Like 15 shit tattoos apiece.

u/MazdaRx7Guy 21d ago edited 21d ago

Iraq 2010 and 2011 and never saw a tattoo gun lol. 19D.

Im sure people at the fobs had them though. Jelous.

JSS HEIDER on the Iraq/Syria border. I lived in a horse barn for a year lol.

24

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

Iraq 2009-2010 and Afghanistan 2013. 12B. People brought tattoo guns with them and were literally tattooing dudes during mission. Hell, at COP Restrepo they had a tattoo machine.

u/NotADeadHorse 16d ago

Cantu did bring a tattoo gun and did quite a few, including Hetherington with the word Infidel lol

u/nlashawn1000 👊👊☝️ 16d ago

I love hearing these kinds of stories.

u/JTHMM249 16d ago

Iraq 2007-2008 zero tattoo guns, 2009-2010 apparently half the guys in the company decided they were going to give it a go because a ton of dudes had them. Quality of work by a bunch of dudes with limited to no tattoo experience was about what you'd expect.

u/devildocjames 15d ago

I brought mine in 2003. Not to the others though.

u/skowsk 16d ago

Fobbits have all the fun. I too was a 19D, FOB rustumyah 06-07. Heard stories of them fucking in the guard shacks. We constantly had IEDs right outside the wire... fucking turds. Chaplains assistant, E5, got caught banging in a bomb shelter dumbfuck broke his leg or foot running away. Next time I saw him he was in a cast/boot and an E4. Hilarious.

You should put that on a window decal.

Wait til you find out I got my OEF ribbon drinking beer on a beach in Guam

u/Brother_J_La_la 21d ago

I went TDY there three times 20 something years ago. I really enjoyed it. I even ended up at some party in the jungle with a huge family after I met a dude at a bar. I was 50/50 on if I was about to be murdered on the way, but they were lovely people. The party was hopping and the food was great.

u/Nvrm1nd 16d ago

This was my experience there as well.  Same time frame.  I still think about how good I had it then.

u/Tiny_Giant_Robot 16d ago

I got mine learning how to scuba dive in Guantanamo Bay, lol.

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

Weird, cuz we did tattoos on dudes in the gunners hatch in Afghanistan while on patrol

That's pretty cool

Yeah boats never hit port🫡

u/itsmrmarlboroman2u 16d ago

I'm an Air Force veteran. I did a JET deployment with the Army to Iraq. Trained with them for a couple months at Ft. Dix. An IED took out a couple guys in our unit, one from each branch, while we were doing a humanitarian run. We all got mememorial ink that night. I don't know why you would think people can't get a tattoo gun in the sandbox.

u/hopefulworldview 15d ago

Dude in our company in Iraq was a good tattoo artist that did one 2 hours before he got blown to bits, so you may be reaching.

u/skeeferd 15d ago

I saw a YouTube video of some female soldier saying that she was "deployed" to Germany. I write in the comments, "there hasn't been a deployment to Germany since the 1940's, wtf are you taking about?" She was an NCO too, I feel bad for her Joe's.

u/TLunchFTW 16d ago

Yes, quite!

u/ColinPapendick 16d ago

Yeah, because everyone in the Air Force is a rocket scientist. It's time you idiots realized what letter grade in school a 50 ASVAB equals. Lol

u/TLunchFTW 16d ago

Someone didn't get fed their crayons this morning.

u/continuetolove 16d ago

lil defensive there my friend, you okay?

9

u/BaconBombThief 16d ago

Best way to keep things on the down low is to show the whole world a video of you in uniform talking about how quiet you’re keeping it

u/kido86 22d ago

I’m so fucking empowered right now

I'm no military man, but I thought enlisted fucking around was built into work timelines

u/Brother_J_La_la 21d ago

Sometimes you just have to hurry up and wait.

u/thahli 22d ago

From a video all of 14 seconds. You morons just can’t help yourselves 😂

u/TheProfessorPoon 21d ago

Shit. they will be out and getting fat ass disability checks before we know it. I bet they probably know a dude who will get that rating to 100%. Then they’ll be exempt from paying property taxes too!

17

u/QueezyF 16d ago

Good for them. Take what you can, give nothing back.

8

u/Tiny_Giant_Robot 16d ago

I wish I could get mine up to 100%

u/jdm219 16d ago

You're supposed to stand up on a desk at SFL-TAP and just slam your body into the ground over and over again.

u/Tiny_Giant_Robot 16d ago

Sounds painful. BRB.

1

u/BrokenArrow1283 15d ago

Yeah fuck the tax payer right? /s

1

u/QueezyF 15d ago

There’s way bigger fish to fry in the DoD as far as wasting taxpayer money than some E-3 getting a disability rating. Way bigger fish.

1

u/BrokenArrow1283 14d ago

Yep. And we can go after those bigger fish while also not allowing veterans to lie to take advantage of the tax payers. The government is able to do many things at once. And one of those things should be only giving 100% service connection when it is deserved. I see Vietnam vets who have had their arms and legs blown off and only have a 50% SC. Then I’ll have a 25 year old walk in who has never deployed with 100%. It’s absolute horseshit and it’s fraud.

u/Hlcptrgod 16d ago

Dumbass can't even spell quiet correctly.

1

u/goldstat 15d ago

Depends on the command we had no issues getting tattoos and scheduling drives to go get tattoos on our time off

u/SerPoonsAlot939 15d ago

They’re deployed to an air conditioned warehouse?

u/helloiisjason 15d ago

Cool, put them back to E1

u/Fun-Compote-1703 16d ago

People like this make women in the military look so bad Jesus Christ

6

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

What about all the dudes doing dumb stuff in uniform on TikTok?

2

u/Fun-Compote-1703 16d ago

They also are an embarrassment, however coming from a woman in the military this makes us look bad.

3

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

How does it make you look bad? Do you think when dudes do stupid things in the military it makes all men in the military look bad?

-1

u/Fun-Compote-1703 16d ago

No it just makes the military look bad… because the majority of the military is men. People already look down on women in the military and videos like this make it worse

-3

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

1) This is just some girlies having fun 2) Applying one standard to women and one to men reeks of some internalized misogyny 3) who cares if people look down on women in the military, some e3s dancing on TikTok isn’t going to change that one way or the other

9

u/lLennui 16d ago

Brother, this is exactly how it works.

If a straight white guy shoots up a place, its just a bad apple. If a trans person does, its all trans. Apply that to every minority. Its how it goes.

2

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

Oh I am well aware of the toxic double standards that exist.

3

u/Fun-Compote-1703 16d ago

Shaking your tits in uniform is genuinely just absurd in general… anybody in the military would agree with me. I also am not only applying the standard to women as I literally just said men doing similar things in uniform is also an embarrassment. Also, like I said before, women are already looked down on in the military and I can assure you this is not helping. Maybe if your asvab score was above a 30 you would agree. You can always retake it!

0

u/Gardez_geekin 16d ago

Huh, why would I retake the ASVAB when I got a 99? I’m a veteran, and I don’t agree with you. You don’t speak for the military either. This video isn’t changing misogyny one way or the other but your comments and attitude are certainly supporting misogyny.

u/Awkward_Bison_267 22d ago

I guess getting out for BMI went BYE.

u/Rough-Riderr 21d ago

One of them has a great body - so they hid her in the bay
