What is your MOS?

I understand that, my comments were directed towards the Corporal who stated that my Air Force is completely useless.

What are Air Force guys doing in this thread anyways? I can't believe I fell for it and got into this silly argument with them. Damn pride!

Security Forces.

You are telling me that every person in the marine corps can enlist in the Air Force, and go through TAC-P, Combat Control or Pararescue school?

Dude, what are you doing? You won't win this argument, so don't bother trying.

The fattest, most pathetic waste of space in the Army or the Marines thinks they're far tougher than anyone in the Air Force simply due to the branch on their uniform.

You won't convince any of them otherwise, so don't bother. It'll just lead to macho service back and forth babble that isn't worth the time it takes to read it.

I just enjoy arguing.

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.


HAHA....wait.....did you just claim the AF turned DOWN the UAV Program???

....yeah you guys win....AF doesn't fly any gunships....nor any Reapers...nor Predators...(((sarcasm)))
