It keeps the killing competetive.
Quote of the day :cheers:
Anyway, here's the breakdown:
Army: Infantry/armor/support thereof, limited sealift, and close air support (for themselves, usually).
Marine Corps: Infantry/armor/support thereof (designed for mobility rather than brute force), close air support, limited air-to-air capability.
Navy: Limited infantry/support (Seabees), massive sealift, at-sea combat capability, close air support, air-to-air capability, limited airlift, major nuclear capability, ballistic missile defense capability, major ground-to-air capability (Aegis).
Air Force: Very limited infantry/support, massive airlift, air-to-air capability (limited outside CONUS), secondary nuclear capability.
this is cruel the US Coast Guard isn't even mentioned why?? They are very valuable and important I hate they aren't mentioned
I would go marines or army any day, rather be in the fight than watch from the sidelines or watch through a satelite...
Was in the PX. Airforce girl in front of me read the headline from the Airforce Times "Air Force to reduce PT standards". She turns the the girl next to her and says "I can't believe this. Now the other services will respect us even less."That is not the Air Force when I left the service a little over a year ago. Recruits going in got issued a (non-functional, THANK GOD!!!) M-16, Basic Training was ramped up form six weeks to eight weeks (as I had always thought it should have been in the first place), and be able to run a mile and a half quickly (though with no guidelines as to exactly how fast), push-ups (again, no set number of minimums), sit-ups (no set minimums, do we see a pattern yet?), and height, weight, and body circumfrence. The way the our whole PT test was put together was so that a person who's body mass index (if you want to know what that is, look it up) was 25 or under, then all you had to do was pass your run and not even worry about doing push-ups or sit-ups because you have already accumilated enough points to pass the test. The whole thing was a sham, if you ask me.
