@TheRidersChoice No, but people might take you a little more seriously on the job, and even in your personal life, if you sounded as though you knew what you were doing when trying to communicate.
jkappek, the white trousers enlisted wise were traditionally only used by the silent drill dream, and now it is a rarity to see such low ranking enlisted men in white outside of ceremonial.
@LesPaulWhat It actually has nothing to do with this "drill" stuff. The white pants are for the summer and the navy blue with the "blood" stripe down the side is for the fall, winter, and early spring. Both enlisted and officers get both types of pants.
@LesPaulWhat The real silent drill team is its own MOS. When you're on the drill team, that is literally all you do while you are assigned there. It's not really a career-advancing billet so the members are usually switched out every year and a half to 2 years so that they don't get stuck in a dead-end MOS.
@djcadanhar It wasn't intentional, but the way they play it off, it almost seems that way, doesn't it? I'm a drill team member much like these guys, and the move he performed where he dropped is extremely difficult; it's supposed to look like how it did the second time he threw it. After six years of constant drilling I still haven't been able to successfully achieve that throw, so I can definitely understand how easy it is to drop it like he did.
@TonyMajorGeneral it was the commanders fault.. he was supposed to toss it from behind his back and over his head to the marine in front of him but he made a mistake, still an amazing performance excellent precision and discipline
@JeffersonDinedAlone if your enlisted then you should know better then to talk lke that, a soldier respects other soldiers and other people. you should know better.
@JeffersonDinedAlone Exactly, I would do the same thing if I was allowed to, unfortunately women aren't allowed to be in the infantry so when I get to decide I can't choose infantry (right now I'm 15, but I will be a marine when I'm old to). I prob will score high bc I'm f'in smart. Top of my class at the moment, and a damn good athlete. Ranked in the top 20 in my regions Junior horse back rider rankings (Juniors is the top level you can compete while you're in high school). OORAH!!
@JeffersonDinedAlone You are one of the most ignorant recruits I've ever heard of that scored that high. Yes, they might score low on the ASVAB -- but the fact that they're infantry doesn't mean their dumb. Do you understand why America's Army is so powerful? Because our fucking Infantry HOOAH! is SMART. We run shit because we're SMARTER than other countries. Infantry has to be smart in order to be Infantry. You obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about.
@JeffersonDinedAlone NOT TRUE! My husband scored high enough to do almost anything job but he wanted to do infantry because that was his dream! In OSUT he was offered honor guard but turned it down because infantry was his dream. Some guys just want to fight to defend their country and don't want a different MOS, doesn't make them stupid!
@JeffersonDinedAlone I also have to disagree. My brother scored a 96 on his entrance exam, and he CHOSE infantry. And for other servicemembers who may have scored lower on the test and didn't qualify for other jobs, remember that it's infantry who is physically out in front of everyone else fighting the enemy.
@JeffersonDinedAlone Funny you should ask; I wondered the same thing about you when I read your derogatory comment about those in the infantry. Perhaps next time you'll remember that "all military personnel in ALL positions work together to fight the enemy" before you want to speak of the intellect of others in the military. I don't believe that one MOS is any more important than the other, but you seem to think that's the case. Why else would you say that those in the infantry are
@JeffersonDinedAlone "too stupid" to do something else? I think the majority of the people who responded to your original comment were attempting to make the point that an infantryman is just as important as anyone else in the military, and that not everyone takes that job because they couldn't do anything else. Props to you for being someone with enough sense of duty and courage to join the military and help in defending our country, but your sense of camaraderie seems to be lacking.
@maketonight318 Or, the truth could be that I'm just playing with your heads because it is so easy. And, when I'm momentarily bored, which is exceedingly rare, I may very well do this. You just never know.
@jeffersondinedalone . the backbone of the US Marines is the infantry. I could've chosen another MOS but I wanted to be in the Infantry. Douche bag pogues like you would rather sit behind a table doodling with your thumbs all day while real men go out there and protect this nation.. you make me sick.
@rrraberrr There is no "backbone" position for any military branch. All of the positions are neccesary, every job is required, to protect this nation or they wouldn't exist. Referring to someone as a "douche bag pogue", whatever you think that nonsense means, only serves to indicate to anyone that you have the pathetic mindset of an idiot child. As for your delusional 1940s John Wayne movie mentality, replace it with 21st century reality. Your ignorance is only surpassed by your stupidity.
The Platoon was not that sharp. Drill Sergeant was way off on this return flip and also the second return flip but the troop managed to grab it. All hat and no cattle.
@LesPaulWhat Whit pants are for dress occasions and for officers at a military sanctioned mess. Staff NCO's can still wear the dress blue white trousers until sometime in the next few years when the order that allowed them to be grandfathered ends.
@RNkim2010 You don't have to be infantry or security. You just try out for it when the time comes, as long as you meet the requirements, big one is height.
@RNkim2010 They are 0311. White trousers are generally for Marine Barracks, Washington, DC. Although commissioned officers also wear white trousers for certain dress occasions. Blue trousers are for everyone else.
@RNkim2010 not true this version called the Blue-White Dress is for SNCOs unless they are in formation with NCOs and junior enlisted personnel who are not authorized to wear the uniform, and by NCOs and junior enlisted personnel for ceremonies and social events only, if authorized and provided by the command structure
