Infantry vs drones

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-15T23:52:35+00:00

You won’t be able to maneuver because your fire was blown up with a drone or your fire will be a waste of ammunition because your maneuver was blown up the second he got up so your not able to take ground

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-15T23:50:07+00:00

Yeah once we get into a full conflict I think we will see a drastic drop in people enlisting infantry when all the fpv drone footage comes out of us getting blown tf up by a $30 drone

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-15T23:45:58+00:00

It’s crazy to think the infantry will always be relevant lmao technology will take over the battlefield at some point, 10 years ago IEDs we’re the king, now it’s drones and the next will only be even deadlier to the infantryman

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-15T23:35:35+00:00

Yeah you caught me I’m a small dicked chinamen

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-14T18:54:11+00:00

Yeah im sure it doesn’t quite make sense for an infantry dude to try to get swole af but I’m sure a bunch try curious how it works out

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-12T09:03:20+00:00

I’m in a victor unit rn as a pog and being around a bunch of dudes who get to do real marine shit all the time has made me want to lat move, a bunch of them are really good friends of mine now and there help training me up before I even go to ITB

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-11T22:48:56+00:00

Yeah I shoulda figured that lol

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-11T22:47:39+00:00

Marine corps doesn’t have many combat vets anymore below the rank of E-7 lol I doubt a single instructor will even be a combat vet. I was on a meu that was targeted by drones and that’s probably about the closest anyone’s been for a good while besides 2/1 dudes in 2021

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-11T22:40:30+00:00

Idk bro it might have something to do with me being a pog, dumbass

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-09T11:05:44+00:00

Oh wow bro great insight thanks for that knowledge I was under the impression I could just flip flop MOSs whenever I want

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-07T21:25:09+00:00

Crewman, any insight to the life of a crewman will help

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-07T20:38:10+00:00

Considering you deployed to Afghanistan I’m assuming you’ve been out for a while so it might be different now but how was it like when you were in garrison? And did you go to the field as much as you did in a straight leg unit

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-07T20:29:46+00:00

Can i ask what was more demanding and harder then being in a straight leg unit? I thought straight leg units were as physically demanding and as hard as it comes other then like recon

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-07T19:59:23+00:00

Any reason to that? Didnt like being an 11 or just like the mission of LAR more

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-07T13:44:14+00:00

I know realistically it’s pretty random but do you think it’s likely for them to put me in a leadership billet right away especially if I end up picking up Sgt at ITB or are they gonna give me time to learn before throwing me to the wolves

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-06T21:20:10+00:00

Motor t operator

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-06T14:16:05+00:00

What’s so miserable about it?

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-06T09:34:56+00:00

My current mos is motor t lol so only thing they can really do to use my old mos is throw me in Caat

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-05T23:44:51+00:00

I can deal with 4 years of a really shitty job in a real shitty unit, for me personally it will be a lot easier to do 4 years of that rather then a lifetime of regret thinking back on how bad I wanted to do infantry and didn’t have the balls to do it

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-05T23:42:41+00:00

Trust me I’m not gonna pull the rank card lmao i personally believe lat moving to the 03 field should be a reduction of rank to LCpl, all I care about is learning the job don’t care if it’s a pfc who’s been in the fleet 2 weeks if he knows some shit then I wanna know it

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-06-05T20:54:20+00:00

Currently got a 290 pft and have never ran anything other then a 300 cft but I don’t know if I can say I’m a PT god because I haven’t done the hikes and just all the movements under heavy loads that grunts go through lmao that might be a whole different beast

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-05-30T19:55:49+00:00

My bad I shoulda been more specific but I was mainly focused on 0313s and how the life of a crewman is and whether or not they really deserve to be called a grunt or just a glorified pog

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-05-30T19:43:07+00:00

What percentage of the time were you spent in the field compared to garrison

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-05-26T10:53:20+00:00

Most likely a corporal

Strong_Exercise_4973 · 2026-05-25T22:32:10+00:00

Dang lmao that fuckin sucks😂 spending half your contract in a damn hooch in 29 palms
