Telling the difference between the grunts and the really smart, good looking and talented Marines (Field Radio Operators) is simple. Put 11 dimes on the table and ask each to count them. The guys who reach for their shoelaces when they get to 10 are grunts.

Come on, you guys can do better than that, I'd give that shoe lace line at least an 8 and it's vary adaptable. If I keep coming up with things like I'll be writing jokes for Letterman and making the big bucks. But don't worry, I won't forget the little people like you who helped be achieve greatness.

The radio operators used to help me with my letters home, they were so smart they could actually write. Since I always packed my own magazines I remember that I could count up to at least 19.
Just a thought, if the radio operators and Tony were so smart, how did they get stuck with us?

And we're very kind, caring and compassionate. Believe it or not, I got a PM from a guy a while back asking what that thing was on my back.....I told him I didn't know it was either, it just appeared there one day and started talking to me. He believed me, must have been a grunt.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I was always told that those that washed out as grunts became radio operators because they couldn't shoot worth a damn or work well with others. The radio operator was on a leash which was held by the head honcho. He was like a beast of burden carrying the radio so the head grunt could call in for what was needed.
Radio operators only had to know 4 words. Whenever the radio went down and the radio operator was asked what was wrong with it he would simply say "Hell if I know."

[quote=advanced;772885]I also think that they mistook that look in our eyes as our being dumb. That look came from our seeing things that no man should ever have to see and doing things no man should ever have to do.
Like burning out ****ters?

Tony, I know for a fact. That the radio men in the 3/5 wore out their lips constantly radioing . You Marines in the 3/26, please come and get us out of this shet again. Over.

You loved us when we were humping your azz out to a medevac chopper or calling in an airstrike....unless of course the drop missed and then it was always the pilot that screwed up.
