Marines are merely poorlt organized Army units from what I hear. I don't know of any great operations thy've done recently, other then this: during basic training, we had two major failure examples: The Marines and Jessica Lynch. I will not go into Lynch on this forum, as I'm sure that would get ugly.

My MOS is 25B, Information Systems Analyst/Operator. Pretty much, I set up and defend networks. No where near as hard as 11B (Infantry).
Regular Army does not usually tell you untill your AIT is over. I COULD have gotten it in my contract, but I didn't. I'm hoping to go over to Germany as part of the 1st Armor Division. Seeing as the Big Red One (1st Infantry Division) is leaving Germany, I don't know how that will turn out. I'm thinking of going to Airborne school and hooking up with some elite light infantry. We'll see.
The M-60 is heavier, but does not jam as much as a M249 SAW. It also has farther range. I suppose I'd go M249, so I could carry more ammunition, and deal with the jams. To be honest, I'd prefer my 240B.
And my instructors said that jumping on a grenade, or throwing a body on it, that was armored, might REDUCE the range of the grenades damage. I tihnk he might have been talking about someone else's grenades, becase those things are just gonna blow the body right off.

Besides being relatively disgusted by your lack of respect for your country (Lets please stop with that crap in my topic), my only other response is this: Pugil sticks are brutal, and EVERYONE gets beat up, with the exception of my boxing battle buddy (Light Class Champion) and my 260 some pound, 7 foot tall friend who pretty much just pushed people to the ground and hammered them.

Your thinking of the Marines. In the Amry, its Hooah. It blends alot better, and dosn't sound as forced. And I think I will take you up on that Strike help sometime.
ANd I thank anyone who welcomed me back, and smit all who turned my topic into a slam fest. Curse you, hijackers!
Nothings changed. Good.
EDIT:
By the way, all my classes got pushed back a week because we had such a large class. So, No learning for a week. Curses.
