Typical jar of today would be sucking the slopes dicks instead of giving them the finger.
Fact is it's ALL watered down and we're in no position to fight a war.
Easy to say when you've never been through MCRD Parris or MCRD San Diego..
I dont really know anything about any Branch being prepaired for a Combat Deployment except
Where my own kid has been and where he is at and those that serve on the bases he rolls through each year for schools and fleet deployments. They are still up at 0:330-0:400 for pt shower and chow 5-6 days a week.
Classes, classes, range time, field time, grass weeks, range weeks, more pt with 20-70 lb rucks.
Does the Navy do 10+ mile ruck runs with 45-70 lb rucks and weapon systems at basic or after when serving there mos?
Toss in a few a month with 120 lb ruck and burn off a quick 5-10k.
Mine went through meps at 196lbs 3 1/2 years ago, hes been in the low 160's for at least 2 years now.
300 series infantry Marines are always trained and ready.
Infantry Marines will by and large spend a fri or sat at the gym with other members from there platoon.
Drinking is after for those that partake.....
The Marine Corps Infantry around the world is always prepared.
Im also certain The Armys Infantry is prepaired as well.
Wanna be a Infantry Marine? Tell your grandkids to get prepared before basic.
You gotta pass the final test.
