Fact of the matter is that we maintained the same level of readiness as the full timers with only a couple days a month to do so. I don't know what janky ass reserve unit you dealt with but we always showed up with pressed uniforms ready to work. The turds in the reserves were usually the former active duty NCOs looking to skate, the younger guys had a lot to prove and were typically very motivated. Of my 6 years, I spent nearly 3 of them on active duty. 2 of the 3 stints were working side by side with the active duty guys and they didn't exactly blow my mind with their level of professionalism and ability. At the end of the day you coming at me like that tells everyone a lot more about you than it does about reservists. You probably run around on veterans day yelling hoorah getting all the free stuff you can while pounding your chest like you're better than everyone else. Keep up the good fight keyboard warrior.

It only escalated because of Litos's low level of reading comprehension and insecurities.

it's hilarious because you'll get 15 different Marine Corps tattoos all over your body and sit with all your high school friends at CiCi's pizza and convince them that you fought in a war. then to prove to them that you suffered injuries, you'll show them the scar you got on your knee when you got beat up by the school bully when you were 12 years old..... 8 months out of the year, you're sitting at home crushing donuts and Big Red on your mom's couch yelling SEMPER FI, I LOVE YOU GIRL at every fat 15 year old freshman that walks by your dirty, broken screen door..... reservists always talk about how they're war heroes, when in all actuality, my boots spent more time in the Marines than you did........ lol @ reservists. i told ya'll they were hilarious.... |

All the guys I served with went overseas at least once, most of them 2 or 3 times. I wouldn't be all that surprised if you served in the late 90's when nothing was going on. The only difference between reservists and active duty guys is what they do when they're not deployed. Cleaning your barracks and standing for inspection is some real war hero stuff. I went to a Marine Corps ball in 2005 for an active duty unit. There were so many heifers I thought I walked into a county fair. Then there is the awesomeness of how faithful they are. Nothing better than seeing an empty enlisted club one day, have a unit deploy, and the next day have it bursting at the seems with hoes with wedding ring tan lines. I saw that on several occasions. Everything you spew can just as easily be said about active duty side.

You'll need to elaborate on why you think that the only "real" Marines are the ones on active duty. Overseas, everyone is the same. I guess standing a post or cleaning shit when your stateside makes you a "real" Marine. Like I said before, I spent nearly 3 of those years on active duty (Iraq 2003, Iraq 2005, stateside 2006-2007) and I didn't see anything in that time that gives you active duty guys the right to talk crap. There is no difference between the two groups regardless of what you superiority complex says otherwise. BTW.... I did hold a top secret clearance. It was a requirement for one of my billets. I'm sad to say it, but I wasn't a sniper. I was a PMI for a couple years though. You were probably infantry, which would explain your lack of rational thinking and the god complex.

I'm not even sure you actually read things before you post. Must have been an ASVAB waiver.
