Hey guys I served in the US MArines as a sniper in the Infantry and some time in the US Army 5th Special forces group.
If it wasnt for having your full name and SSN on most of the awards and MOS's certificates we could post them here to show what cooking school we went to.
I am by no means busting on cooks, I love to eat. And the Infantry I have the highest respect for, for the love of God in the Marines we were all 03's. Times have changed thats for sure.
Like I said every job in the military deserves its respect my wife is at Camp Bucca Iraq right now and she is Admin been in for 18 years and we joke and cut up all the time.
Way to serious, everyone knows what they did or do in the military no need to fake or brag why would some one do that anyways who really cares.
Semper Fi
Here lets dissect some of this and your profile info.
Marine Sniper in the Infantry.
Thats convienant since that's where the Marine Corps keeps Snipers, since Snipers have to come from 03XX fields, except for certain 02XX officer fields. So the question would be are you a Pig or a Hog??????
So you served in 5th Special Forces Group. By my reckoning that would mean......
You seperated from the Marine Corps.
Enlisted in the Army
Completed an 11 Series course at most
at least completed an Army orientation course
Maybe you came in as a Spec 4
Went to Basic Airborne Course , unless of course you were Jump Qualed in the Corps, but then we'd have to discuss your path into Scout Sniper in the Corps.
Got to your unit
Got promoted to SGT
Applied for, took, and passed the Q course for SF
Got selected for SF
Went to JFK for training
Did your 18 series training
Got assigned to 5TH Group and operationally qualed.
In 4 years.......you must be Aaron Banks reincarnated.
Unless of course you were assigned to 5th Group in a support rather
than operational capacity.
"All Marines are 03's" .................. I have never, ever heard an 03 Marine utter that. I have heard countless non-03's puff out their chest and say that.......usually followed by............."Cause every Marines a Rifleman first!" 03's are professional Riflemen other Marines are Rifle Qualified and can serve as provisional rifleman as needed but they are not 03's anymore than an 03 is an AAV crewman or Air Crew.
Really I don't care what you did in the service, what I have a problem with is ..........................................
Your time line dosen't fit.
Your answers are too far off for someone claiming what your claiming
You don't want to reveal your MOS designators, right probably classified I know.
There is a high level of pogishness to your posts.
So ethier up with it or find somewhere else.
