You might be an Airborne Soldier if...

The first thing you do in the morning is put in a dip
Your favorite beer is someone else's
Your cologne smells suspiciously like bug juice
You think a spit shine means to spit on your boots and wipe them on the back of your pant legs
Your kids wear a high and tight and stand at parade rest
You tell the arresting officer that you have just been alerted and you were speeding to work
When you have dinner guests in between paydays, you try to pass off a hamslice as canned ham
You use your spotter scope to pull surveillance at the pool or the Pope AFB air show
You would rather smoke a private then a Marlboro
Your hide site is cleaner than your room
You set up concertina wire around your house to keep trick or treaters away
You spend your free time thinking of ways you would destroy things if you were a terrorist
You never enter a bar without an E&R plan
You consider a "Recon" walking around the bar looking for chicks
You order a beer from the waitress by hollering "Nurse give me an IV"
You consider a six pack a well balanced breakfast
You say "Hooah" whether you understand or not
You creatively acquire things you need
Every sport you play has the word combat as part of its name.

Here's what I think....

Others often like to joke about or make fun of things they (1) Do not understand, (2) Are afraid of, (3) see as more desirous or respected, or (4) Know they have neither the guts nor the will power to pursue!!!

The sad fact is.... THE USMC IS RECRUITING AND TRAINING A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF UPPER MENTAL GROUP APPLICANTS THAN ALL THE OTHER SERVICES!!! Now who's the dummy????

That's what I was wondering when I made this post. Like what gave them the idea that Marines are dumb. Out of all the services...

Amen sixguns

The sad fact is: the other branches have had to lower standards in order to fulfill recruitment quotas since 911.

The USMC on the other hand, has a limited number of vacant slots enabling us to hand pick from the best and the brightest.

Believe it Son, there will be a TEST before acceptance, and it will not be bullsh!t like the above. It's called BOOT CAMP

Semper Fi,
Bob
