INFANTRYMEN OF /K/
Did you choose the Army or the Marine Corps, and why?
>>29987813
Marines are the only real infantry, army is just boy scouts with guns.
>>29987813
I chose the Royal Marines, in the process of joining, getting my medical after I phone the AFCO I believe.
>>29987819
The corps is for people who weren't smart enough for the army and you guys get all our hand me downs
Army, because i was garenteed infantry. Also i don't like being in water other than a pool or shower.
>>29987813
Conscript, and Ground Forces
>>29987853
Army also has a lower minimum ASVAB score for infantry than the USMC
>>29987813
Army because I wanted decent training and equipment, not motarded mexicans.
Army infantry.
>>29987813
Army. Our navy and riverine forces are less funded and there's better room for promotion. Also, nothing is more beautiful than visiting the old ruins on a patrol.
>>29987959
>>29987813
Marines because I liked the higher standards of general toughness. Nothing against army bros, your culture just always seemed too relaxed for me to be comfortable with you guys having my back. I'd rather be in the company of crazy mother fuckers that live to kill if I'm going to combat.
None of it matters now though, did 2 MEUS and never got to play in the sandbox, just using that sweet GI Bill to get an AAS in Programming. Got a paid internship for the summer. Career monies soon.
Army so I'd actually get to do stuff and not end up as a meatshield :>)
>>29988135
>crazy mother fuckers that live to kill
>2 meus
>sandbox
just reading what you type makes me so glad I got out
>>29988469
exact same thoughts here lol
>>29987813
Marines, I literally flipped a coin when I decided between them or the army.
>>29987813
Army is the correct choice.
Marines are a buncha president killing buddy fuckers.
>>29987813
marine infantry was so pose to go with a friend but he shot a bb at cops and ran
>>29987813
I'm planning to become a 12A for the Army. Grandfather served and was part of the 82nd Airborne, 3rd Battalion. He removed commies in Operation Powerpack and in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. Also, I'm trying to reestablish the military role model and culture that died with my grandfather whem he was murdered by his owm weapon. My brother is already a libtarded cuck and my mother is political idiotic. The last thing I need is their influence on my youngest cousin that was born from my based Uncle.
Army infantry for 3 years
HHT 3/2 Cavalry Regiment Rose Barracks Vilseck Germany

>taking shuttle to hotel for MEPS
>meet a kid that's going into Marine Corps
>start bullshitting
>"I'm going infantry and love this country. But the president is a commie. I may need to take him out one day."
>Stopped talking to him the rest of the ride
>>29988135
>Nothing against army bros
You, I like you. Branches can have friendly rivalry but don't need to be at each other's throats
I joined the Marine Corps infantry.
Literally the only reason is because I made a pact with a friend when we were kids that I would do it, and I don't go back on my word.
It was OK. Had some fun times and some shit times. I have no animosity towards the Army. I like to think I'm one of the more level-headed and intelligent grunts, though.
>>29989878
You'll come to find detailed that a lot of branches are like this.
I'm army and I talk shit about all the branches but I'd still have a beer with them.
>>29989924
Out, not detailed
Army infantry because jump school was in my contract without a doubt.
>>29989423
Which regiment m80?
>>29987813
>>29987819
Semper your Chesty Puller oooorah.
I love my pogs tho. And they hooked me up.
>>29987813
>being a pongo in the first place
>>29989885
So did I. But for different reasons.
I bet I could fuck your penis back inside your body.
>>29987813
Marines. I knew I wanted to be infantry, and the Marine Corps was always presented to me as the tougher of the two. Just seemed more prestigious, I guess. Not dogging the army, but I didn't want to go army, then spend the rest of my days feeling like I could have gone Marine, yet didn't. No regrets.
>>29990154
Yut.
They'll never understand. I do.
Question for infantry guys
>would you feel more camaraderie with a Infantryman of a different branch than a POG of your own branch?
>>29990181
Absofucking-lutely.
Don't get me wrong as an 0311 I love all Marines.
But me and a Army airborne guy who also used to wrestle an m249 has more in common.
>>29990181
Probably the POG, but not by much.
>>29990181
This looks really familiar. Where you guys at here?
>>29990241
>>29990219
I have a friend who was an 11b in the army and he said he literally could not stand talking to POGs because all they did was try to hype up their MOS to be as "badass" as combat arms. He said he was always cool with the marine infantry he came into contact with, even if he didnt agree with some of their tactics.
>>29990256
No idea, I saved them from some guy on here who dumped them.
>tfw I am a filthy civie who never joined
>>29987853
The Marines are for those smart enough and tough enough to do more with less.
The Army has to have the shiniest new toys and then still complains.
>>29990257
Eh, it depends. The POG in my unit as support were okay. They knew they weren't infantry and they never put on like they were, for the most part. It's those salty admin faggots and bulk fuel cocksuckers who want to point to their crossed rifles and say "hurry durr, evri muhreen ah rifulman" everytime they get within half a mile of L street.
>>29990268
I see. Just reminded me of some of the pics I took over there.
>>29987813
Army so I could be a medic muhreens gotta have navy bois go I'm with them
>>29990303
I work in an environment (pawn shop/gun store) where I come into contact with ALOT of vets, and honestly the non-combat MOS brag/bring it up way more than combat MOS. I even had one guy who apparently deployed to bagram (92r), and never left it come in and brag to my grandpa who was LRRP in vietnam about "all of the intense shit" he had seen in Afghanistan.
I have tons of stories like this. I really do not understand why these guys talk the loudest.
>pic is gramps in vietnam
>>29987813
I chose Army. Grandpa was Army infantry in WWII. That's really the only reason. After I deployed and met Marine infantrymen, it really doesn't matter. Infantry is infantry, just different structures and equipment procurement (Army gets better stuff). Marine infantry are cool dudes though. The seasoned ones anyway. Their boots are worse than our cherries. If you like propaganda, go with Marines.
Be warned, bullshittery is strong in all infantry.
>>29990257
I'm an 0311 on GI Bill.
I was lazy and thru on my Afghan/Iraq shirt because it was clean before class. Some dude with an parachute tab on his backpack walks up and says "Oorah devil".
>Are you fucking with me bro?
Lol no. We end up pregaming about ten beers on the back of his pickup truck. He was Airborne I was Marine Infantry. Talk shit to each other, drink, we both got separated because we both got laid. And both of us barely remember it.
Yeah real life isn't like the Internet. We are bros now.
>>29990357
Your gramps was a badass. It's because of this generation of vets, honestly. Most are self indulgent faggots, deperate for recognition and pity. Everyone wants to be the damaged Hardcastle with a story to tell. In ww2, they came home e after 4 years, put away theuniform, got jobs, then tried their damndest to make our country great. Now they FB about their edgy sadness and smoke ptsd reefer with their service pitbulls, while jacking it to ranger up vids. I hate to say it,but the grunts become worse than the POGs when they get out.
>>29990449
Hardcase*
>>29990449
>>29990449
I only know 2 guys who are infantry vets from the current middle east campaign and neither of them brig up their service to anyone. Of course this is just the two guys I know.
I also had a guy who was a army Radio Operator in Vietnam in 1972 look at another guy in the store who was a 0311 DURING KHE SANH and say that his deployment to some base in Saigon was more intense than the 0311. The marine literally looked at me and laughed and walked out of the store. Alot of the older combat vets do not talk about their experiences. I have talked to that 0311 dude a few times and have heard a few stories about khe sanh but he has said that alot of it he doesnt talk about because he has some pretty intense PTSD, and understandably so.
>another random image some other anon posted on here.
>>29987813
army.
I only like anal rape in a sarcastic "man this job sucks" kinda sense, not literally taking dicks up my ass on the daily.
>>29990357
That's a corn fed motherfucker right there.
Non combat jobs are more important than combat.
>>29990544
Buy me some beers then I start blabbing.
But I'll most likely tell stories that are funny instead of stories that involve death of friends. Unless that's truly what you desire. They were flesh and blood, is their death story really entertainment to you?
>>29990872
No, I really do not care what the story is. I just think its amazing to hear from people who were in combat in general. I never push for any story, I just kind of ask general questions and let them talk about whatever they want. One of my close friends had a friend die on deployment, and hes never spoke about it, and ive never asked him about it because I can only imagine the negative feels that would come along with that story.
>tfw gramps tells me one of the guys on his team killed a 10 year old who was pimping out his 16 year old siter
>tfw buddy tells me story of shitting off the side of a mountain in Afghanistan
>tfw 0311 guy tells me the story of getting his first shower after Khe Sanh
Most of the stories I hear are pretty light hearted and I still really enjoy them because its people who have lived life to the max, and experienced something only a very small amount of people have. At least thats how I look at combat vets.
>>29990943
Looks like the spics already took over back then. Wow, your ancestors died to fight the gooks while they allowed the spics to take over your home.
That's just sad.
>>29991002
Europe doesnt even have a army worth bragging about.
>>29991076
The spics do?
>>29991002
LRRP teams were hard as fuck, and were/are real American heroes. Your ancestors were cucks just like u.
git fuked hippie
>>29991095

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Benavidez
>>29990555
Why are Army guys so hung up on ass play.
Methinks thou dost protest to much
The Navy is probably more your speed
Army.
Great Grandfather was in the British Army in WWI. Grandfather was in the British Army for WWII. My Dad was in the Rhodesian Army during the Bush War, so I decided to be the first in the family to join the US Army.
>>29991110
>Dying for nothing
>awesome
Yeah sure, go for it. Obama will thank you. Not.
>>29987813
Army, I was too tall for the Marines at 6' 1"
>>29990943
Then I'll give you the condensed version:
>Was an 0311
>Smoked two bitches in Iraq, another in trashcanistan
>I feel nothing except extreme apathy
>Tfw you tell someone you were a vet
>Cool "ever kill someone?"
Ugh. The people I felt sorry for was the kids that got killed. Watched a 4year old girl die in front me. Saw a mother who got her fucking baby blasted out of her belly from a drone strike. You could see the blood trail of her trying to crawl to it...
I've been propositioned by goat people offering to accept money to fuck their 7 year old daughter. I've seen pedo Afghan dad's get beaten and rifle butted for offering it to my squad, I've participated.
I've seen hajjis slice off a man's dick and put it in his mouth as a warning to us, plus far far more.
I hate Arabs, and I don't care if that's political incorrect.
>>29987813
0311 all the way.
>>29991162
Ive never understood the timeless question of "did you ever kill somebody"? Its like people have no concept of just how deep that question can go. Weird thing is my friend who was 11b joined the army hating Muslims and Middle Easterners in general and after his deployment he became best friends with a middle easterner who was in his unit, as well as one of his terps. It had the opposite effect on him.
Although every vietnam vet I have talked to fucking hates gooks to this day.
>>29990257
>all they did was try to hype up their MOS to be as "badass" as combat arms
There is about a 1:36 ratio of this actually happening vs a 13b or whatever complaining about it.
>>29991223
Maybe so, but like I stated I was never in the military, I just come into contact with alot of vets. They range from Vietnam (occasional Korean vet) up to Afghanistan and in my personal experience non-combat arms always talk louder.
>>29991205
I was an OIF/OEF vet and we had Arab bros.
But they were Americans. My platoon hajji was named Abdel and he could rap battle anyone in the 1st Marine Division.
Weird but cool.
>>29991293
kinda like how you're talking really loud about something you know nothing about, right now?
>>29991366
I never claimed anything I have said is right, or claimed to have been in the military, its merely the shit I have seen/heard in my day to day life. I dont think me talking about my interactions with people is talking about something I know nothing about.
>>29988135
How did you not get deployment?
>>29987819
Please stop making us look retarded.
>>29991205
>every vietnam vet hates fucking gooks
I actually work with like three Vietnam Veterans and know two more from shooting clubs, and I'm a Oriental sunofabitch.
I'm not a short Vietnamese FOB though, so that may be why I get along great, plus I like history which comes in handy referencing stuff that said old vets actually LIVED through, not just the war. And I also don't act like an entiled Bernie worshipping millenial SJW either.
So that might be why I'm been off the hook.
>>29987813
Army...family tradition I guess. Never really even thought about joining the muhreenz to be honest.
>>29991716
Buddy i went to benning with has been with 10th mountain in NY and 2nd ID in korea. Hes an e6 now with an EIB, ranger tab, and completed sniper school. Hes stacked as fuck on paper and has never deployed. He joined in 08. Luck of the draw i guess.
>>29991162
Holy PTSD Batman.
Marines
Most time on the rifle range
Most pussy slaying power in a dress uniform
>>29987813
They battling bee's?
>>29990181
Yes.
>Infantrymen of my own branch/doc
>Infantrymen of other branch/ their medics
>Kiowa pilots

>our combat arms
>their combat arms
>POGs
>coast guard
H-Hey guys, C-can I j-join the d-discussion?
>>29987813
army because in my county the navy has no business in land warfare.
>>29990357
When I was younger I had a calculus teacher who was ex-special forces in Vietnam, and this History teacher who was a motherfucking 88H talked shit to him about how Iraq was more intense than Vietnam
That calculus teacher was badass, he used to randomly tell vietnam war stories right after we got done with all of our shit (mainly shit like assassinating VC higher ups or seeing friends step on mines)
>>29989975
>He didn't get army diver and RIP as well
High speed as fuck, friendo; it's like you don't want to be stationed in Hawaii, jump out of planes, play innawoods, and creampie Asian college girls.
marines, cuz I was drunk and talked a whole bunch of shit about the army to all my friends and said a bunch of shit about how I actually wanted to fight n shit. I didn't wanna look like a stupid hypocrite the next day when I signed up.
so I went to Afghanistan and got blew up a bunch of times. and hiked so fuckin much that I shrunk 2 inches and have a bad back, hip, knees, ankles, wrist, and probably mild brain damage (from all the explosions.)
all because I run my mouth when I drink too much and am too proud to back down.
so in short I'm a violent retard and Marine infantry was the perfect fit for me.
>>29987813
I chose the army because my IQ is above room temperature.
>>29987813
Army because I'm not a flaming faggot.
>>29987853
Also currently the Corps doesn't use much hand me down gear from the army, pretty much all of our stuff is proprietary
>>29995940
yeah.
the whole "lol muhreenz use stuff da urmy throws away" Is mostly left over from older wars, and because it makes marines feel tough and army guys feel superior.
now days the Marine Corps uses its own stuff, they just NEVER FUCKING REPLACE IT when it wears out, so the idea that our logistics tactics consist of dumpsterdiving behind an army barracks persists.
>>29990872
Different anon here, the ONLY stories I tell are funny ones. Of course, I've got plenty. Also I was an engineer not infantry so I had life a little bit (a whole fucking lot) easier than you guys.
>>29991129
You dun gud.
>>29995982
>be home on leave after 1 iraq tour and 2 afghan tours
>run into history and geography teacher from highschool
>he wants me to come in and talk about cultures I have met n stuff, politics, and current world events
>shrug and say okay, nothin better to do
>dumbass 15 year old boys just want me to tell them about how its exactly like COD
>teacher begins prompting me with questions to try to gain kids interest
>"so what is it like to lose friends and kill people?"
>reply by blurting out "thats a stupid fucking question, why the fuck would you ask me that here you sick fuck?"
>kids are now interested cuz i swore at thier teacher
>finish up the chat by explaining opium processing and drug economy
I uhhh...... wasnt ever invited back. wonder why.
>>29987813
i went with army because marines sid my diploma didnt count over the phone but i think the guy misunderstood.
high school diploma from a college, not a GED
he didnt seem very smart to behind with.
>>29987813
not in either but talk to a bunch of ppl in both
>Marines-First in, no PC bullshit, trained to fight till the last man fearlessly.
>Army-Tail coat, VERY VERY PC (Sexual harassment power points, love the fag shit, love trannies, women in combat, the awful shit). Not very tough a lot of dork nigga thinking they are hard when really they are about 135lbs.
>>29996005
>"thats a stupid fucking question, why the fuck would you ask me that here you sick fuck?"
I don't know how civvies can still be dumb enough to ask this question.
The go to response is "what kind of noises does your wife make when she takes it in the ass?"
That way they'll have some idea of what it's like to even try to answer that question.
>>29996005
You kinda spurged there anon. Not in an unforgivable way. I did 2 pumps in the sand.
You should of just told the kids a story about a sand nigger fucking a goat or a donkey. Which you have definitely seen if you've done 3 deployments or stolen valor.
>>29998486
>>29998486
heh, yeah, well I mean it was a dog when I saw it but same thing. hajis have sex with everything.
>>29999631
Mine was fucking a donkey standing on a bucket. Watched it on the thermals from the GBoss on COC watch. Afterwards he started to punch it for some reason.
>Watching a hajji hatefuck a donkey at 3am.
>>29998251
It's a cross between the braying of a donkey and the singing of a humpback whale. I didn't realize humans could make such a noise. It's beautiful. Now, how many friends did you lose, anon?
>>29987854
marines don't guarantee infantry or what?
>>29996005
>I just spent 10 years of my voluntary service trying to kill people
>did you kill anyone
>HOW CAN YOU ASK THAT!?!!! FUCK YOU!!! FUCK!!!!! FUCK YOU!!! WAAAAGGGHHH!!!
this is why military are considered legitimately retarded.
>>30000404
No they do. I know from experience.
He's army "special". I also don't know what he's talking about being in the water. We swim Quall in a pool.
I guess he thinks Marines just hang out in the ocean.
Marines
My dad was in the Army and I just wanted to try something different, but not really.
army national guard
still got deployed
still got fucked up and sent home
still gotta lie about the home-made tattoos to my parents and girlfriend when they ask what they mean
all in all it was an okay time, but I hate talking about it to anyone other than other vets
>>30000431

t. 1371 that worked a lot with you fuckers
>>30002836
>home made tattoos
Why give yourself a permanent fuck up with a poke stick when there's plenty of decent artists
>>30003139
Wasn't me, was my TL with a home made tattoo gun. We all got shitfaced and he gave us "war tats"
even better, it's on my hand
>>29987813
If you want logistics - join the Army.
Marines make do.

Also it's not just him. It's nearly half of the corps who can barely cook an MRE because finding "a rock or something" led them on a five day tour looking for the legendary something.
>>30003157
I cringe whenever I hear of homemade tattoos. It's like telling people you casually smoke method without actually telling them
>>30000431
It's pretty insensitive since some of us never get the chance to kill someone even after all those fucking years
>>30003263
Which is why I try to hide it as much as possible. I have a few professional ones as well but I'm not ashamed of those
>>29990449
Most WWII vets never saw any action.
>>30003282
Oh shit.
My roommate used to do barracks tats. My room was an official tattoo parlor. But he had a professional set up and was actually pretty good. One guy even brought his wife to get one (not a motto tat, flowers or some shit).
Myself I've never gotten one.
>>29997775
you stupid fucking faggot, were you a Marine? No? I was, and we dealt with all that shit. SHARP briefings every goddamn way during my me time. Not being able to do anything but heap praise upon wooks and subpar dark green Marines and all that or else you get spoken to by people you don't want to talk to.
No PC bullshit? Whoever you spoke to is likely a stupid fucking boot riding the wave of bootcamp motardation, let them hit them fleet and have their asshole molded into the world's finest impression of the mariana trench by everybody else and then we'll see what your high fade tracksuit and jungle wearing boot fucking faggot friend has to say about our Marine Corps
Army because my father and grandfather were both Army infantrymen, my great grand-father was in the Army Air Corps.
My ancestors served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, so really it's all tradition.
