You might be disappointed.

I have had two trainees that already had Distinguished Rifle badges.

GRUNTS

-Underwear is entirely optional at all times
-You have shit in the same bag you ate from.
-You put that bag into your Ruck next to your sleeping bag.
-You've shit in a hole more than a porta potty
-Every time you shit, you tell everyone everything about it.
-You go on missions with your fly undone so you can piss while pulling security.

-You have no problem running 5 miles drunk.
-You have no problem maxing a PT Test drunk.
-You have no problems doing a 12-mile foot march drunk.
-You have no problems but drinking problems, and you don't think it’s a problem at all.

-You would fight for a guy you barely know, as long as he's Infantry.
-You'd fight your best friend, even though he's Infantry.

-Monday morning formation should be taped and sent in to the Howard Stern Show.

-You know someone who has done the following:
1. Pissed themselves, shit themselves, puked on themselves. No problems.
2. Killed a Haj. No problems.
3. Played with the head of a dead animal or person, for points. No problems.
4. Killed a case in between COB and last light. No problems.
5. Ran for a few miles on a broken something. No problems.

-You know that work is work and play is play. No-holds-barred with either.
-You pride yourself on getting dirtier than any pogue, and somehow still end up looking better.
-You've done a PT test sick or injured and still scored better than 90% of any support unit.
-You wince when a pogue handles his weapon like a pogue.
-You know pogue dudes hate you because pogue chicks dig you.

-You know heroes.
-You know heroes that don’t care if they're heroes.

-Your buddies know all of your business, tell all of your business and when shit goes south they'll help you handle your business.
-Your squad does "the wave" after calling in close-air support.

-You got stopped in the airport by some fat security guard on the way home from OIF or OEF because your uniform had bomb residue or powder burns on it, and they treated you like a terrorist because of it.
-You've had a uniform taken away because it was so caked with blood and bodily fluids, it was considered biohazardous material.
-Your arms are so chewed up from IV needles (training and live) that you could be mistaken for a heroine addict.

-You use words like Roger in casual conversation.
-You say Roger when Roger could just mean you're having a really bad day.
-You say Roger when Roger could be just welcoming a really bad day.

-You can fall asleep absolutely anywhere.
-Your meals may consist of any of the following: stolen animals, chewing tobacco, hate, cold coffee, dry ramen, warm bottled water, energy drinks and rat-fucked MREs.

-You hear Kuwait, you automatically get the shits,
-You hear Iraq/Afghanistan, you say, fuck it dude, Round Two, Three, Four, whatever.

-You're hunched-over from too many rucks that out-weighed you. You're deaf from demo breaches and hours spent next to a tube. You always seem to be digging dirt out of your ears. You've earned a bad complexion from too much time under greasepaint and sweat-dried-to-salt. Fucked-up joints, compressed spine and fallen arches from too much running and jumping. There are scars behind your ears from carrying logs and litters for PT.
If needed, you would bleed on the flag so the stripes stayed red.

Using everything from knives and bare hands to mortars and machine guns... you're the sleepy-looking, blister-footed, camo-faced, sun-burnt, hungry, filthy, swearing sons-of-bitches that have fought so long to keep the wolves at bay.

Rock on brother good luck

“There is nothing particularly glorious about sweaty fellows, laden with killing tools, going along to fight. And yet—such a column represents a great deal more than 28,000 individuals mustered into a division. All that is behind those men is in that column, too: the old battles, long forgotten, that secured our nation … traditions of things endured and things accomplished, such as regiments hand down forever … and that abstract thing called patriotism, which I never heard combat soldiers mention—all this passes into the forward zone, to the point of contact, where war is girt with horrors. And common men endure these horrors and overcome them, along with the insistent yearnings of the belly and the reasonable promptings of fear; and in this, I think, is glory.”

Nice. After my stint as a BM3 in the Navy, I did a little bit as an 11B. God love the Infantry.

I forgot all about Rat Fucked MRE's

"Hey guys, here's a case of MRE's.... with all the good shit missing."

Damn! I forgot about that! I don't know if you guys remember the "meat patty".... You had to soak in water before it was edible.

I freakin' hated those things. I pretty nuch sucked up any other MRE,though.

Oh, man I loved those! Heat'em up with a ramen, that was the shit! You could dip them, too. Like beef jerky, just not good beef jerky.

Great list, too!

no CIB, but that list really resonates, like the time we got blown out for an alert at 0230 Sunday in Korea, half the company was drunk as hell-the half I was in- 12 mile road march, up to ROK Airborne School pass and back. I sobered up about halfway home.....lol......

And my feet are toast-bone spurs in the heels.

I'd get unfat and go back in but for that. waaaaa....

How about getting half soaking wet so you could keep your weapon dry?
"This doesn't suck enough!"

Hooah used to be OUR word.

I'll admit, that brought a tear to my eye.
