* MemeticMolester: Invoked within the strip by characters. According to Uriarte, he's not based on any real-life person (Uriarte says the chaplains he knew were good guys), but that chaplains in general are AcceptableTargets.

Your Cheating Heart is not a trope anymore


* YourCheatingHeart: Jody's a representation of the (fairly standard) fear of this happening to their beloved from deployed military personnel...but given the webcomic's intent is comedy, Terminal Lance plays this for laughs.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: That Guy is literally the asshole who ruins everything for everyone. He kills puppies (and uploads the videos to YouTube), drives drunk, and does every obviously-stupid and/or distasteful thing imaginable. This results in all Marines being viewed as drunk [[JerkAss Jerkasses]], getting their weekend liberty passes cancelled over things they didn't do, and having to sit through hours upon hours of training about why they shouldn't do things they all know not to do and don't do anyway.

* GratuitousSpanish: Only during Abe's zombie fantasy. Garcia [[LampshadeHanging bluntly responds]] that [[AvertedTrope he doesn't actually talk that way]].
* OnlySaneMan: Generally the most mature and level-headed character in the comic. Not that that's saying much...

* ButtMonkey: The point of Boot is to get fucked around because no one likes or respects him, be it forcing him into doing more work or just being a plain jerk to him because that's what happens to boots.
