Second hand hearsay doesn't count. It's the day to day operations of what you're there for that does.
BTW.............I've got a couple of Navy Expeditionary Medals that would beg to differ with your definition of 'REMF'. Ever been fired at by heavy artillery? I have. Off the coast of Beruit back in '83.
Also had a couple of Iraqi gunboats come after our ship when going through the Straits of Hormuz during Desert Storm.
Ever been on the receiving end of a weapon?
By "weapon" you mean a guy's cock, right? 'Cause that's the only weapon you've ever operated.
Actually, Sharpshooter qualified with the 45 cal. and the 9mm. Also 12 gauge shotgun qualified and have manned a .50 cal machine gun.
Oh yeah........was also special weapons team member for a FA-18 squadron, VFA-131 Wildcats to be exact.
What was it that you had? Oh yeah......a big yellow stain in your trousers from being a pussy.
I'm sorry, video game experience doesn't really count here.
Actually real world experience doesn't count either. It seems that's all you have (or claim to have anyway) because you can't write a post without bringing up the fact that you were too stupid to do anything but enlist and pull a trigger.
