A Soldier at Heart. You wouldn't understand unless you grew up in the military enviroment... I'll try to explain it the best way i can... It's one who isn't fully a soldier but knows what it means to be one...
A military groupie, then? Or an Army (Marine?) brat who isn't old enough to enlist yet?
I'd wait until you become a soldier before trying to understand it, but that's just me.
Check the siggy.
He's lighter than me. No ******** way he's FORECON. I got a friend in that group; same height, 250 pounds. lightweights don't cut it in units that carry 90 pound rucksacks on jumps, dives, and tailgate drops.
@Kaiju: Haven't told me s**t, beyond "Ship date is 12/29. Going to FT Leonard Wood. Then to Ft Sam Houston for AIT."
Don't judge a book by it's cover. I'm a Marksman.
Two things. First, you're an airsoft player, not a soldier or a Professionally Instructed Gunman. You are not a marksman, you are not a sharpshooter, you are a kid with a toy gun.
Second, marksman isn't that good. It's 19-29 out of 40. That's bare minimum to qualify on BRMs.
Three things, I lied: Trust me, I know weight isn't as big a deal as some make it out to be. But it's still a big deal where groups like FORECON and the Airborne are concerned, because your rucksack would weigh more than half what you do. That's why I'm working on gaining weight, so I can get 68w1 instead of 68w10, the difference being Ranger school.
