No, “former Marine” is fine. You’re thinking of “ex-Marine.”

As for the gundummy, I understand how that was mostly true, but it was a Marine who nearly shot me at a clearing barrel.

Being a former Marine you need a specific one for the Marines and the "harder then you swagger they walk with" especialy prevalent in those Marines who also happen to be FOBbits.

And hate to talk bad about my brothers but you know the ones im talking about Army guy can have three purple hearts four CAB's and get told by some 110lb paper pushing Marine he ain't nothing because he is just Army and Marines do all the work.

Fantastic stuff! I've heard about these sorta creatures from family members who have served. I'm about to enlist, so will surely come across them and occasionally play the part of at least one of these creatures. I'd like to say I won't "be that guy," but I'm no fool. The FNG just can't help it.

Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your service!

Some POG's are cool, but even you that act like you support the Infantry are annoying as hell. The only POG's I have respect for are medics, becuase they have saved many of my buddies lives or atleast struggled their hardest to try, cooks, because when I can get a hot meal, he does what he can and supply, because how else am I going to get a new weapons sling when mine was ripped by shrapnel.

or better yet, the soldiers who join the ARMY or anything else just for the sole purpose of college than end up getting deployed not realizing there is still a war going on. those are funny people. Maybe. kind of sad though cuz they take up space.

is there anything for someone who goes to combat stress all the time to avoid little tasks and when confronted…takes it up to IG? i think we just call them dirt bags or blue falcons but i need something in reference to OIF. i was in q-west on a 15 month and it was alittle worse than garrison. absolutley no reason for that soldier to be in combat stress though. bob on the fob is great by the way.

Sorry buddy, but now a days most units now operate out of Forward Operating Bases, FOB's
