I dont mean to start a Navy vs. USMC debate, but I prefer the planes USMC flies
What, broken ones?
I love the idea of PLC, I love the idea of getting to do stuff like FAC.
Navy guys do FAC too. Especially when the Deltas don't get off the ground because they're falling apart.
I prefer the USMC rank system and general way of doing things.
O-1 is an O-1... and regarding the general way of doing things... do you prefer "hey, bro, did you get __ done? thanks man" or "what the fuck. get that shit done. dismissed."
Since I have no love for boats, I would much rather be trained to do Infantry things in addition to flight, instead of having to learn stuff related to sailing.
Yea I hate boats too. I just like flying off them. And from my persective, my marine buds havel learned minimal stuff about ground pounding and brain-dumped it. There is a stark division between grunts and drivers. And I don't know jackshit about sailing. SWO bubbas take that stuff.
I dont want to join the Navy, not get a flight school slot, and be assigned to soemthign related to sailing. Above all else, its as simple as I want to be a Marine. I have nothing against the Navy though.
Same thing can happen in the corp, bud. But if you want to be a Marine to be a Marine, that's completely legit. Just understand Marine pilot's are looked at with a different lens within the corp. And check your sources a bit more, and ask some people in how they feel about their navy and marine corp bros and the general attitudes and climates.
Ready.
