Infantry

Whats the difference between the Army infantry and the Marines infantry?

I joined the army as an 11B, you know infantry and i was just wondering whats the difference between the infantry in the army and the infantry in the marines. like what will i be doing in the infantry as an army member that marines wont do and vice versa? I Also i leave in 3 days for basic training to fort benn any advice?

At this point they do the same things. The big difference is that the units here will train for amphib landings. In Iraq and Afghanistan they are doing the same thing. I do believe they have pulled the Marines out of Iraq.

3 Days to wonder WTF is gonna happen now. Chill out the odds are on your side kid.

Ahh the memories, phosphorus melding into the Monterey fog, Drill Sergeants putting us in the thinking position. CS, blowing up Bambi’s dad with a claymore, first aid and how a bandoleer can hold things in place, chow, KP, pots and pans, having the Range Officer screaming cease fire while some idiot is firing on a civilian aircraft ( it was not me ), same thing except it was a yacht in no mans land behind the dunes in Monterey Bay, the guy that got hungry and ate poison ivy, wild pigs in bivouac area, being choked out for not saluting the aggressors flag in escape and evasion……AND WE ALL LIVED, SO WILL YOU!!!

They say that in the Army
The Chow is mighty fine
A biscuit rolled off the table
And killed a friend of mine

They say that in the Army
The Coffee’s mighty fine
It looks like muddy water
And tastes like turpentine.

They say that in the Army
The chickens mighty fine.
One jumped up on the table
And started marking time.

Don’t think it has changed too awful much since Dino Days, I even throw in a little butt chewing…no extra charge

It might go a little like this:

Up before the sun @ 0430. Also known as O dark thirty
30 minutes max for the 3 S’s ($h!t, shower, shave) sometimes the shower is the night before.
Formation.
A little PT: Daily Dozen and Singing “Up in the morning with the rising sun, were gonna run till the running is done” while double timing a mile
Chow: Coming to attention, count off 1 Drill Sergeant WETSU (We Eat This $h!t Up)
Formation
Draw weapons if going to range
Formation
Double time to training site. C130 rolling down the strip, airborne daddy gonna take a little trip.
Train
Chow
Train
More PT Drill Sargent We Eat This $h!t Up
Double time back to barracks. I wanna be an Airborne Ranger, lead a life of death and danger, I wanna go to Viet Nam, just to kill ole Charley Cong ( I will guess the words have changed)
If weapons were drawn….
Stack weapons
Post guards. Guard relief to the head of Chow line.
Chow
Clean weapons
Have weapon inspected
Turn in weapon
Formation maybe maybe not
1 hour of your time….maybe
GI boots
GI area
Mass Attack on Showers or wait till morning
Write mommy
Lights out 2100
Coma time

“DROP AND GIVE ME 20″

Keep the pie hole shut and listen.

Think out your questions…it’s the Army…do not appear that you were not paying attention!!!

Do not point at food and ask WTF is that:
If it is a green looking meat like substance that is “Mystery meat”. Chow down it’s very good for you!
If it looks like lumpy burnt oatmeal it’s SOS.
If the SOS is poured over a something …that is a biscuit not a hockey puck…though it’s hard to tell the difference!
If it is yellow and dry it is cake. Just stick it in a glass of milk, it will be fine.
If it is brown and poured over rice it is chili…..maybe…could be gravy made from left over bacon grease.

You think it will make you fat???

NO PROBLEM! I will just PT you until your legs are wore off to the knee’s and your arms to the elbow!!!

ARE WE CLEAR???

WELL ARE WE???

GOOD!

Close enough anyway!

A premature welcome to “The Club”!
