Its all good dude, you can't offend me very easily, so feel free to speak your mind, I'm willing to hear you out. As far as I'm concerned this is a friendly conversation, and we are just pointing out our views. Nobody is getting butthurt, so everything is good.

Now, I'm not disagreeing that Marines are better than Army, either. Due to modern warfare, the "every man is a rifleman" thing applies all accross the board, though yes, Marine pogues are probably better than Army pogues. I've seen Marine pogues in action, not only were their room clearing skills crap, but one of them even ND'd his rifle running from the house! Not to say this hasn't happened with Army, but I can tell you that an infantryman of either branch wouldn't do that. This isn't really an 'argument' of branch against branch, its more of a "this is why we call you a pogue" thing. I KNOW that you guys have names for the infantry types too, this is just what we call you.

I'm just throwing this out there, but don't let a "training excercise" fool you as to your capability in real combat. Shit, I've killed 2 platoons of infantry in a window with a 240, and me and my battlebuddy kept another platoon at bay using a rifle and a SAW indoors. It does feel good to say you've done that though.

We have gone off topic, and Twitchy, if you'd like to discuss this further, we can take it to PM.

Infantry is a good MOS to get, if you can find the slots. They are out there, and I'm not 100% sure, but I think they have slots in the 1/158th INF open again, so hit up a recruiter. I'm not sure what kind of training you will be executing, but I feel that being an MP, and being a police officer really don't have that much correlation. The tasks that you perform are way differentMaybe someone can enlighten me, but don't MPs have to get a security clearance reguardless of rank? In the infantry, to be an e-6 and higher you need a security clearance.

...there is always the Marine reserve..... :mrgreen:

I'd rather be a national guard infantryman, than a marine reserve pogue.

and Doc, you're right, being infantry is the bonus.

CA33 is sold.

One more day left on the Tanaka M700. I'll be at the gearbox tomorrow, so you won't have to pay shipping on it.

There should be no issues with you returning it to our store, as long as you have your reciept. In fact, I would recommend it, if it isn't too far away for you.

Its the gas version, I don't think tanaka makes spring sniper rifles. It retails, the rifle alone, for around 500 bucks.

Buy the M700 from me before, or on tuesday, and get 20% off my asking price. That's $380. Find a better deal, you will not.

I've got a bushy. I like it, it likes me. It fires the dirty ammo that I run through it with few problems. Only thing I don't like about it is the non-milspec buffer tube, which isn't a problem, I just haven't had time to replace it. Good gun, and you can pick them up for fairly cheap(I paid 8bills for mine).
