The United States Marine Corps

[Kunal Biswas]

Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it was some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts so short as to be ungentlemanly, worshipping their Commandant as if he was a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action and are the cockiest SOBs I've ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, of the United States Marines with whom I've come in contact, are the most professional warriors and the finest men I've had the pleasure to meet.

Yeah,
Actually we had a Very good talks about Striker APC and morden weapons which US soldiers( 14th Cavalry Regiment "Strykehorse," 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii) brought with them!

Btw, I had no knowledge about the structure of US forces, I just know the are American soldiers!

Sounds like a good experience, Kunal Biswas. When I served, I always enjoyed training with soldiers and marines from other countries.

For future reference we don't wear girl scout patches all over our utilities

Indeed, I remember having a Aussie coyote at Mojave Viper, coolest guy I've ever met.

Because it either holds more, has pockets or they prefer these over the ones issued. When it's a field or "junk on the bunk" inspection, then you bet your a$$ you'll be sporting the one issued to you.

IMPROVISE! ADAPT! OVERCOME!

Thats the answer I was looking for!!!!

Exactly everything they give us is the cheapest gear they can get their hands on. Thus alot of people buy their own stuff. I just bought gloves because my black leather gloves are just crap unless im dealing with c-wire. But whenever inspection time comes up you need to have the exact CIF issue gear.

Packed like Sardines, motor T couldn't give us enough vehicles for that field op.

How often are the inspections???

[Lord Helmet]

Not very often with my unit, I had the Master Sergeant go through all our stuff in december right before going on leave. Apparently there is another big one coming up soon. The word was if you are missing gear then you're getting paperwork for it... page 11s i think. I need to buy ****ing black eyepro.

With the Grunts, it can be whenever. But it always stars with someone with higher rank then you. It can be the Company CO, 1stSgt, Platoon Commander, Platoon Sergeant, Squad Leader, Fire-team Leader. Back in 2004, I remember seeing a buddy of mine (another Plt.Sgt.) have his Marines fall out at 0300 in front of the barracks for a gear inspection. $hit that could happen will happen in the Grunts.
