AF versus Corps. Non-Combat jobs

Wikipedia is not a reliable source due to anyone being able to edit and put whatever information they want into whatever article they want. Which is why no one in my field uses it. I'll stick with first hand experience on this one. Open your eyes.

I know it isnt a reliable source, but go ahead and google any of those and they'll explain it to you.

"I'll stick with first hand experience on this one. Open your eyes"

Is that not a little contradictory there? You tell me to open MY eyes but you will stick with YOUR first hand experience? Why dont you open YOUR eyes?

Questions for you...Whats your MOS, and how long have you been in?

Intel - 3.5 years.

So in your 3.5 years in, you've spent time with each AFSC of the Air Force (AFSC is the Air Force equivalent to MOS) to conclude that the Air Force has nothing to do with Air Superiority?

I work with an INTEL AF person who sits right next to me and she is a total idiot. I WOULD NEVER go into combat with her. Now there is a female Marine that I work with that I would gladly go into combat with.

I love how working with one person in a branch means everyone in that branch is useless.

Michaep - You want to know the difference between non-infantry Marines and non-"combat" Air Force? Here goes...
Marines, regardless of MOS, are required to qualify with a rifle annually from distances of 5oo yards as well as under combat scenarios.
Marines, regardless of MOS, are required to pass a physical fitness test and a combat fitness test annually.
Marines, regardless of MOS, are required to progress in a martial arts program as their rank progresses.
Marines, regardless of MOS, are required to attend professional military education that focuses on individual combat skills, tactics, combat leadership, and combat orders as a prerequisite for promotion.

The government gave the Air Force the chance to be useful on the battlefield, but they turned down the UAV program. Now the other services are running with it, it is wildly successful, and you're arguing with everyone trying to justify your existence. We went 180 years without one, I think we can do without an Air Force again.

You came in here to back up your buddy who originally posted this thread and then try to belittle Marines by sarcastically calling them by their rank after your sentences

And I could pull the admin kid down the hall, slap a silly red beret on his head, and have the utmost trust and confidence that he could be a Combat Controller, or whatever you call it. We have those too, their called FAC's, and we don't consider that special forces because it's NOT THAT HARD!

Back up my buddy? The guy who started this thread is a tool. Comparing the Marines to the Air Force serves no purpose whatsoever. They have different missions. I belittled ONE marine because he said something that he had no proof of, which was rather stupid. If you can point out a post where I have ever belittled the entire Marine Corps, I will shut my mouth. I've got respect for the Corps, the Corps does a great job with a lot of different things. I do not have respect for anyone in ANY branch who belittles an entire branch of service based off of little to no interaction with personnel in that branch.
