Difference between Marines and Army
#22
Dude when i 1st came in over 3 years ago i was pushing for PFCs as a PV2 and locking up for them as well. I was the guy who they loved to **** with due to i was the only new guy they had for a while.... So i learned disapline real quick... When i came to a new unit after i PCSed from Ft.Lewis (5/20INF) to Ft.Hood (1/26 INF) I had a PFC who told me an E4 to go **** my self when i was chewing his *** for being late to work.
This is why im in the WTB i beat the living **** out of him nd blamed it on mental health lol..... Any other E4s and above do that?

Im a E-5 in the navy and its kinda the same here. We have some e-1 thru e-4 that are the **** u I dont care what rank you are type. But the majority are respectful. Personally I have some really good friends in the marines and when they found out I was a e-5 (both of them bein e-3) imediatly started to call me Petty officer while we were out drinkin. I was like dude no its seth. Marines and Army are way more disciplinary than we are tho...

Interesting post. It's good to hear that Marines of today are still paying respect at the proper time and place. Being a prior Marine Corps Drill Instructor, it makes me feel as though the time I spent at Parris Island was time well spent.
Thanks for posting this up. It made my day.

I did salute an army guy by accident one time. He was in my cousins unit and on there beret (spelling), they have a silver pin that looked exactly like the air forces colonel rank. Well he popped up next to me and scared the hell out of me and when i turned, all i saw was a shiny bird. I felt like a dummy.

I see Navy enlisted guys getting saluted all the time. Ive seen people salute loadmasters becasue they wear a flight suit.

It's often better to salute and endure a little embarrasment rather than not salute and endure an *** chewing if they are an Officer. I've done it.

OO-RAH Gunny, Yes I know I definetly still give the proper respect to all that outrank me, even though being here in Japan it seems as if my NCO's are getting lax and they come out with me and my fellow Lcpl's drinking and whatnot. It seems that we may be crossing that work/liberty line... Ah well, I think they are just looking to have some fun.

I was on the street from '88 - '91 (2nd Bn, G Co). I was also a WSSI at the pool.

You don't know the pain, tomato head
I kid I kid
It's funny, every time I see a controller up here they can recognize it from a mile away, but every other person just assumes cop. Another good one is "whats that patch on your shoulder for?"
I went to LRS today to get a gas mask for NTC and she asked me which security forces squadron I was with

Not to sidetrack this thread, but along the same lines as the title, isn't it interesting how if you walked by a bunch of Marines and yelled "Hey, Marine!" how they would all turn and look at you. Then in the same situation, only a group of Army, and you yelled "Hey, soldier!", they would also all look back at you. But then, if you walked by a bunch of Air Force guys and yelled "Hey Airman!", I doubt even one would turn around to look.
I am a die hard Air Force Airman to the point where I have been told that I bleed blue (whatever the hell thats supposed to mean), but I find it almost comical that the Army and the Marines are disciplined to the point that you could yell something like that and they would all look and treat you with respect. In the Air Force its not that way. I will admit that some days in the Air Force having it a little more relaxed around the ranks is nice, but it still pisses me off when proper respects are not rendered, or you get young Airmen calling officers by their first name.

We as leaders regardless of service should expect our standards not others. What I mean is if a Soldier doesn't lock up and address you to your standard then you let him know the standard regardless of the situation. If you are lax then you are lax but expect to be treated that way as well.

I mean this half jokingly. The Air Force is probably by far the worst branch for this stuff, and it does bother me. But as a new officer that has been previously enlisted, I know there is a big difference between a young Airman (or soldier) who just doesn't know any better because he has constantly been around lousy superiors that never consistantly corrected them who may just be having a bad day and lost his or her situational awareness compared to the same ranking individual who knows whats going on and what they should do, but just is lazy or chooses not to. In either event, they should be corrected, but reaming in both situations IMO is not justified.

When I left active duty (Army) and was called up to deploy again with a reserve unit in another state I didnt know what to expect from the reserves. Man were they relaxed, even other SSG's were telling me its ok and to relax a little. They said I was to AD(active duty) I was like WTF is to AD it was complete bs. It was like I was having a heart attack 24/7 watching first names being used and lack of saluting/parade rest.
