What was you guys least favorite thing about being a grunt?

It's a toss up between the sore feet, sore back, sore knees, cut up hands, long nights, long pack marches, heavy packs, wet nights, cold wet nights, hot days, dusty days, hot brass, industrial level tinitus, foot rot, body odour on the 12th day of patrol, long ambushes, longer OP's and nasty people trying to put holes in me with hot bits of fast moving metal.

Well thank you all for your help and i will take your guy's advice to heart belive me! I would not have asked this question on any other site then this one, because i trust you guys thanks

[Hellfish]

Seriously? You trust us?

When I was at 4th Force it was still on the leeward side with a rickety rappel tower near Pearl. It was only a couple platoons and only one-ish was half way trained up. There were a few very cool guys and a bunch of reservists who had only done that.
The whole unit was full of every Marine Reservist on Oahu.
I wasn't there very long, about a year, and decided that civvy street was what I wanted.

Any tidbits for someone who wants to do USAF Security Forces?

i would really appreciate if someone answers my question and thanks in advance
what is my vision category is it v1 or v2 or v3 or v4 or v5

here is my prescription

[Hutz]

If you don't have 20/20, then you're not a V1. Just an education guess, but I'm gonna say you're a V2.

But, you'd have to ask a mil doctor or recruiting officer (maybe) instead of us animals.

Try army.ca instead. They have a dedicated recuiting section on the forum. I don't know what the formula is that the med tech uses, but it's more about a vision test than prescription.

thanks bro for the reply
ok....but my optometrist didn't know anything about military visions
i asked my recruiter he told me minimum for infantry is v3...so i hope mine is v2

Try army.ca instead. They have a dedicated recuiting section on the forum. I don't know if it's determined by a big chart of numbers, or also based on the med tech's judgement.

It's determine with the standard eye chart. But sometimes they get tricky and use the projected chart which can mess up your plans of memorizing the chart.

Yeah, I rephrased my response.

Eye doctors don't know anything about military standards, atleast here in Canada.... unless they served in the CF.
