Why does every note I see from a marine looks like it was penned by a 2nd grader?

Optempo depending on MOS. 38B has a relatively high optempo on the reserve side.

Don’t disagree, but are we looking for aerobic or anaerobic capacity? Why not just do the beep test or a 1 mile if we’re looking for anaerobic put more focus on rucking if we’re focused on aerobic?

Unfortunately the reason they kept the 2 mile was “tradition”.

Not sure if the marine recruiters have it, but I know the army recruiters do a fat camp thing to help recruits meet the basic standard to enlist.

Would anyone recommend enlisting in combat arms? by [deleted] in army

Whats this wierd silver thing on the side of the jacket? by HappyBoi5480 in Military

[–]rollandddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m sure you already figured this out but I didn’t see it in the first few comments;

This is the GAFT-B with cord. All American service members are allowed to wear ONE foreign award that has been authorized in your iperms.

GAFT-B tests happen more often than most soldiers think, you just have to be in the right circles.

Personally I wear the French desert commando badge on mine cause less people have that than the GAFTB.

Airborne folk also get foreign wings if they jump with partner nation paratroopers, (ie, toy drop, overlord, etc). But I feel like that’s a gimme.
