Prior service Marines joining FAT BODY Army National Guard Units, thinking we are superior, ignoring our own FAT BODIES and diminished skills. The interaction between the Army, The Guard and Salty Marines is limitless. I have funny true first hand (combat) stories and experiences if a VET tv writer wants some input. SEMPER FI Brothers and Sisters.
Feel free to submit any stories you'd like to share to [email protected]
My 'Guard unit was Air wing as well. They presumed that I came from this hard core environment when it wasn't much different in garrison. The Army Guard is batter at spending huge amounts of money than the Marine Corps. What had gotten me was the Air National Guard in the state had an A-10 Squadron who were more field experienced than anyone.
I was deployed to the winter Olympics in 2002. We are helping the secret service X-ray every thing that went into t-he Olympic square. My family and I are all Army I basically have no experience with Marines until this point.
Prior service marines are very common in the national guard. Anyway these two Marines find out their Marines and it’s always the same thing. I went to Lejeune I went to ..............let’s go blow each other in the bathroom. Anyway they start saying Siperfi to each other. And I keep hearing simplify. This goes on for about four hours And I finally ask them why the fuck they keep saying simplify to each other all the army guys that it was fucking hilarious, the Marines guys got salty and did not Think it was funny at all.
I too am a prior Jarhead that found his way into the Army...(thanks a lot shitty "tattoo policy" and PC changes! P.S. Fuck you SSgt. Keeler!) There is ALWAYS that mother fucker that finds out you're a prior Marine and they say that fucking wretched phrase..."I almost joined the Marine Corps but..." Aaarrrgggghhhh!!! No the fuck you didn't you ass kissing douche canoe! Yes, I went from '03 life in the Crops as a knuckle draggin bullet sponge to being a wrench turning, truck driving grease monkey in the Army... no matter what the fuck I did or what the fuck I said... it was always "Forgive SGT Marts... he was a Marine." YEah... there's a fuck ton to be said about this shit.
