| Yep that's why we call them the ARMY National Guard they even advertise it that way. Now mine Join the Navy SEALs see the word SEALs is louder then Navy |
| The army wouldn't accept us and we didn't want them. They can't think outside of the box and all we wanted to do was get inside a box, hehe (plz excuse the crude attempt at humor). So I put my vote for the coast guard, which is where I started my military life in. |

| Marines. Personally I don't really care what you call us. One time in Speech class someone told me, in front of the whole class they thought Marines were brain-washed. At first I kind of got offended by it but after thinking about it, I don't mind. Brain-washed, conditioned, trained, whatever you call it, it keeps you alive the first time you get attacked and don't know what to do and let training take over. |

| Huh trees can count well that's amazing. The US military is pretty awesome if they can teach trees there ABC's and 123's Marines are also good at playing fetch "Come on boy get the terrorist go get the terrorist" A few minutes later "Oh thats a good boy you caught the terrorist here have a Scooby snack" |
| Yeah it was hot duh. The truth is we had to "maintain" a low profile because we where "undercover" no one except the US Military was supposed to know we where there. Until it was to late mawhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha That and it was hot as I said before |

| United States Army. "First to fight for the right to defend the Nation's might..." I think I will abstain from adding in any nicknames here. People tend to go to sick call (because their feelings hurt) when you add in the ones I'm familiar with (but I also worked with all of the branches). There was a lot of in service ribbing going on, but a lot of respect as well. The Marines (as an example) used to refer to my unit as Crunchies, Speed bumps and bullet stoppers. I did learn one little interesting saying from a Lance Corporal "Lead, follow or get the hell outta my way!" I always liked that attitude. "If it aint rainin' we aint trainin' and if it aint snowin' we aint goin'!" |
