A person who has completed and passed the physical, moral and mental exam for the military and is in the delayed entry program (D.E.P.) for any branch of the Armed Forces. Poolees have already signed their military contract, have took the oath of enlistment and have sworn into their respective branch. Generally a poolee may stay in the D.E.P. for up to one year and must stay qualified and contact their recruiters weekly. Most Poolees are required by their recruiters to attend classes and physical training once every other week.
After my 16 days as a poolee, I will ship out for MCRD Parris Island!

For Marines, at this phase of their lives this is the point where they have a chance to turn back before stepping on those yellow footprints and realizing they made a huge mistake. It's the point where you've signed the dotted line but haven't yet been to boot camp. Despite having never been to boot camp, poolees will never shut up about the Marine Corps and have an annoyingly high level of motivation only recruiters/RA Marines can tolerate. The only people on Earth, besides recruits, who give a fuck about general USMC knowledge, like the General Orders or Leadership Traits. As much as it's fun talking shit about poolees, one should nonetheless appreciate the fact that at least some millennials aren't total fucking hippies/communists/ISIS fags.
Being the dumbass poolee that he was, Johnny wore a USMC shirt everywhere in hopes that he can get some pussy.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
