# TWITTER TUESDAY: The best military tweets of the week

When you’re only given 280 characters, you better make them count. I can’t say most Twitter users succeed in this endeavor. I searched through the craziness to find the military tweets of the week. Enjoy these gems.

**1. Kit Up**

Some adjust more easily than others..

**2. Housing**

Wait, who has military housing with a bannister?

**3. Relationship Problems**

I’m not sure if I should laugh or be concerned.

**4. Fighting Words**

I’d watch a competition between the Rockettes and the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon.

**5. E-4 Mafia**

![military tweet](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-N0maz7tA1eECoEXzb_XhI7sbDCR2q9kqgWgh6fyQM9FuTTz0EnTrYuhRINJqhqwv-wAGpvCwNRH4G6Pvgqe0cB8e2xxJVamqDPMtVvHgHDiY6kJjPduqhlbMqNsLVix2yfqE-HTVYytWW3Fog>)

I’m not sure of the strategy, but it would be interesting.

**6. A PCS Christmas**

We’ll be finding these stickers until the end of time.

**7. It’s Go Time**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/gnFV35LGi0RbtDoVjSpj-nEzjJAszBHfl6yjscUr2EFZGWxaXRg_Yc5O87MXhCC04OkNAtnhna6gw7OlgZ4FuBvotb5stIwQ3_8k5WTClHK36jbjhbZh2q9D0Fy0nCJBSVie2DblFP8mGLEu3g>)

The after picture wouldn’t be so exciting.

**8. Recon!**

I have a feeling the recon folks will disagree.

**9. Marines and Crayons**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Jo9lceBTp09RqQ9Z5QE1YK-UZCYHxoJgNTiDh7T6aGE4AOs0WU1SVNOOzjLem1pyXbDvUQAloO__CDrKEw2LcXSpXdOGjY4oxZmW30idGpIXz59ZloYZlqFTIgOcuPvcL85WF9dOLJ7I_JDT-Q>)

I’ll have to research the oorah borealis.

**10. The LT**

I see how the Lieutenant can be confused.

**11. Fact**

![](<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IW4qEU13-UQ6Niqdlg32cQic7gZBS-gY6qNpuqAG60w404jPLbS-ej4umCdQ3IWl28fBToJc1xDuiewctpAjoYKljOu-WwXs-JkQCDHaAsSKkrb3VZDPHIzMlgwPKXJ6lZCv6a4E4A1kI7EkDQ>)

Where else do you learn to sleep standing up?

**12. Logic**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/KuSyx4tFa7YR7v2M75l_wE1NQ9kF6xSB_QBXZxlMzXr7xYbHpjHjaabxldIYVka4wz4QMNuO-mIZ-SH2wJ2Won6YmCSr-CZdJiY0ytFSeyXFsiDa2htY_Liy5P1B3y7CfkJnbE0NKFg6VtKgwQ>)

Only in the Marines.

**13. Life Goals**

Some people thrive in chaos.

**14. Haircuts**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/XFBFwiuLtqSTzNzZnBOmlsx7KpklvPths0ofHzZ1AU8UP4g8B1vqVAbELSvHvQ2FneFfwyq1QpEZ3xBVcM9xDblZ3Av9Hyr1Kr4OEGbkzVC2bILLYthewhExgOWXVxcA0j4bRtXpi_zUM_qlIQ>)

We know the barbers on base only know one way to cut.

**15. Burn**

![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/KivvfGHG1usfR67esge82sR74Ed_qTaEeBmIM0LTXtSSCI8-1ky4AuqHMAOsmq3q1fnlmcy5YzaV4GD6R5ExoMPnf-WfWlsdwPzvIFJpLYaiudMjP1j3GhInoId54aIcGmNm1oO903gfnNDDlA>)

I feel like the Devil Dogs will disagree.
