as my infantry brothers misconstrue the RECON job I am FORCED to remind them all, we as scouts do THEIR job as part of ours on a regular basis, but having DEALT with a HORRIBLE infantry E7 NCO in Desert Storm THEY struggle with recon.
Cav is the heavy maneuvering arm of America's military ,WE pick the fight then call the afore mentioned colleagues to clean it up while we look for more...depending on the TYPE of conflict
OH yes and all the collective bastards don't let scouts in sniper school,at a guess because we'll smoke them ...I CAN'T say now.

Enjoying the comments from both sides (one of those 'you had to be there' situations) but not sure if any of them except SMSgt Ian Short's comment will give you any useful information.
Damn shame it was an Air Force Sergeant's comment that gave you the best answer for a question about the Army.

Having been a medic in both a scout platoon in an armor BN and a infantry company, the biggest trouble scouts get into is direct action. The best scouts I ever worked with were awesome at being unseen and quietly calling in 120mm mortar fire. Blue cords have their role, kill stuff. Both branches are fine and wish they were as cool a a Combat Medic, spent my fair share putting IVs in to hung over 11Bs and 19D.

Hey, thanks Doc. For real. You're the only Grunt that aint Grunt. And we love you for it, we really do. And after several of those lovely bags of sweet sobriety later, we love you all the more.
You're the only one that gets the pass on this one lol

Hard for cav to recon in vehicles. Infantry scout platoon is where it's at. At least we know how to make Ghillies and veg up.

19Ds have functioning brains and 11Bs think that they are more manly wearing baby blue. Pretty simple.

Who needs brains when you have the ugga-dugga, the pew-pew, and the brrrraaaaappp? At that point, everyone has the brains, because they're wearing them, compliments of the guy next to them.

SSG Steven Mangus - thanks! You should have been there when I said that to an E7 wearing his. That angry Cav man almost tried to get a knife kill that day. The look on his face was priceless
