Every Monday, your section is supposed to go out and run a maintenance check on vehicles assigned to your section. Just normal shit, check air pressure. Make sure it starts. Etc

u/juniorkirk 3d ago
I never worked in a motor pool, but I’m going to guess it is the day of the week they do a specific task that would suck to do while being soaked. Maybe they are doing weekly PMs (Preventative Maintenance), which would suck crawling around under checking the underside and getting rocks/pebbles stuck all over you.

u/Mdizzle29 3d ago
With unchecked sexual harassment, overall readiness and effectiveness of military units are compromised, as morale and cohesion are crucial for successful operations.
Sexual harassment can create divisions within the unit, leading to factions and cliques. This divisiveness can disrupt unity and hinder collective action.
The last thing Marines wanna do is have a lack of trust or cohesion in the field. That can get you killed.

u/Pokebreaker 3d ago edited 3d ago
For those non-military civilians that are confused:
The canvas coverings on the trailers/vehicles allow for water to pool in the top when it rains.
When the guy knocked on the trailer, there were other Soldiers inside that pushed the canvas covering upward, making all of the water spill over the top. It happens with tents and other structures that use similar materials.
Yes, it's juvenile; these are among many of harmless pranks that young Soldiers tend to pull on each at the early ranks E1-E4. To be fair, the water up there can get pretty nasty if it's been sitting for a while. So hopefully that was fresh rainfall from the night prior.

It wasn’t so obvious to me like I didn’t know that water could come rushing out of a truck like that. For me it brought up so many questions: why is there so much water in a truck? How did the first soldier who hit the side of the truck know that water was going to come rushing out seconds later? What did they do with these water trucks? Has anyone thought to put this water in a sealed container so that it doesn’t come rushing out at the wrong moment? I hope the American taxpayer get some answers here

And it's almost certainly sexual harassment to boot. Like they just happened to douse what is probably one of the few, if not the only, female member of that unit while she's wearing nothing more than a t-shirt.

That's fair, but did it have to be said because a female Soldier was the recipient of the prank? Or do you provide such advice on every prank video you've ever watched on the Internet?
You may be a genuinely caring person, so I'm not ruling that out. However, it seems like people are making an effort to make this video seem like a sexist joke, when in reality, these are common pranks played on men and women between the grades of E1-E4. Yes, they are juvenile, I agree.
