I believe Infantry and Operators should be treated with a higher regard in the military.

Even officers and NCOs of all other military specialties should show respect to our nation's true warriors.

The general military is doing a good job of promoting everyone is a warrior but those non combat arms specialties do not train or destroy their bodies like true combatants. I would even say that infantry line medics and navy corpsman that are attached to the marines deserve the same regard.

This is not intended as a put down of other specialties but an awareness that some put in more than others in combat arms.

isn't there a warrior class already? Like you said, it's Infantry, but also SF, Ranger, Airborne, DF, Marine Recon, Navy Seals, and I'm sure the Air Force has one also? Sorry AF, I don't know much about yall. Perhaps one yall could help me out here please? Anyways, I think the Armed forces each have a 'warrior' class.

Way to stay humble asswipe. You don't deserve respect you don't even deserve to wear a uniform. Good luck finding a real job when you leave the military with that shitty attitude.

Like everyone who decided to join, each one of us had the option to pick our job. A person that likes aviation prior to joining would be smart enough to take that job for the experience that he or she will need when they leave service and enter into the civilian work force for that line of work.

Obvious Troll is Obvious. This post was better written than his entire profile. Look if you want to invoke a POG, Infantry fight then you did good, but please take your fake profile, and go somewhere else with it. Your unprofessionalism as someone who is suppose to be a Senior NCO is so lacking it's obvious you are not who you say you are. Especially for someone who is suppose to teach other NCO's and soldiers how to act. Not all infantrymen see combat and not all POGs are fobbets. Now before people start to attack me for "being a POG" I honestly don't care. This POG and Grunt shit has been going on since before either of us were alive. What I care about is someone who is my senior setting not only a bad example of professionalism for myself, but also for my peers and juniors. Maybe you need to go back basic to learn from a drill sergeant what professionalism is. Either way have a nice day.

Damn, I was an MP and more on the combat side. Just because I did not live on a C.O.B just not make me less important. How about route clearence, we also do dismounted patrols with I.P's. Yo say that one Mos deserves mote respect than another is crazy. No one mos works without washing the others hands.I believe that's how a true NCO thinks.This is just horse crap. Maybe rangers and S.F. should get all the credit then!

Don't think it would make much of a difference. Those that are in this business simply to be able to gloat "oh I'm infantry" or "Oh I'm SF" usually don't last long. The rest of us (speaking as an infantry medic) while having varied reasons you can usually tie it all together with a desire to just "fuck shit up" - apologize there is no other way to phrase that.

while many outside the role will never admit it openly. we already know that they look on wishing they could do what we do, but they can't, because they're not infantry. They want to be us. their women want to be with us. It's a hard life to live.

So my real name similar to yours tosses people for a full loop: Oisín Padáig Ó' Cruadhlaoich - it's from Ireland like myself. Immigrating to the states though I anglicized the name for an easy time.

Basic Combat Training is NOT AIT. If you went thru boot camp, more than likely you have a secondary MOS as Infantry. I'm an old fart so things may have changed since 1964-1986
