They are infantry with a ride.
Until you go to combat and see that sCAB on your chest.
I don't see any difference between that and the CIB. I know plenty of scouts that legitimately earned it and plenty of grunts who made coffee on a FOB in a designated zone and got a CIB. Both of them lack much meaning bc too many were awarded for political reasons, not combat experience.
Lol you're full of sht and it's glaringly obvious that you havent served in decades. I have buddies that were ambushed, attacked from all sides and fought off hajis outnumbering them 8-1 for hours before CAS was able to come in to aid them. A buddy of mine was shot 4 times while dragging wounded from a Humvee that was on fire from a grenade to another one 50 yds away, then got up and killed about 5 of them on his own. He got a silver star, a purple heart, a participation trophy and a special accommodation from his congressional representative when he got home for it bc he was just a pvssy 19D. If only he could have been a leg like you and earned a CIB.
Wow! He got a special accommodation from his congressional representative when he got home for it bc he was just a pvssy 19D. He must be proud.
Yea i do, but it doesn't seem like you do. So IF, and at this point I'd say its a BIG if, you were an 11 series, did you hump or take a bird? If you flew and jumped, that means you hitched a ride, which also means you're no different than a 19 series. Maybe we can get you cab for your troubles.
Never? That tells me you were never on jump status. You were Infantry and never heard people make fun of the Mikes, Hotels or Charlies?
I've never understood why 11 Series needed B, M, H, C.... 19D's did all of those (yes, we rounded out mortar crews ALL the fukking time), plus 13F, 12B...
If you Army idiots knew how to call for fire theyd never even need AIR FORCE "SPECIAL OPERATIONS"!
You and I were probably at the 101st at the same time.
Homer, in all seriousness, in the days of Armored Cavalry Regiments, you do understand that a Troop had ALL those things, right? We had 2 x M106's in our Troop and a battery of 6 x M109's in our Squadron and we got to call for live fire for them at Graf in Germany (where I ONCE got to call for 155mm for being a 1000 pt gunner, we got to call for our 4.2" mortars tons of times, especially illum on ranges). When our 11Cs were short handed, there were a dozen of us cross trained to round out the two crews.
Officers are not given an MOS, just a branch identifier because they're supposed to be able to do all of the jobs.Homer, in all seriousness, in the days of Armored Cavalry Regiments, you do understand that a Troop had ALL those things, right?

Given "1985," you'll remember SQT manuals... there was no SQT manual even close in size to that huge assed 19D SQT manual. It's why I picked the job over "Pershing Missile Repairman" (or whatever da fuk SSG Ady wanted me to pick)... 19D video was hands down the most fun "shoot 'n blow schit up" video they had at the 'crootin station!
This is SO typical of us Army types! We're in a "Beat Navy" thread while those homos watch us kick the schit out of each other
