What is your favorite military Patch, Medal or Badge?

Dirty nasty Legs!!!!

SGT Jesse Davis - Airborne All The Way D-C0 1/506th 101 Abn 67-68 RVN Tet. Sgt leave the legs alone , we were all in it together !

Great answer!

SGT Jesse Davis - Without legs, you re useless.

SGM Mikel Dawson - I have read your replies to some of the folks here and in my personal opinion, many of them have been very unprofessional. You have the blue cord and are proud of it, that is great. A lot of those junior troops you are disrespecting on here may not have a cord that is awarded to anyone who can complete the AIT for that MOS, but they have been downrange in harms way. While you would say that I don't understand the brotherhood of the blue cord, my impression is that you don't understand the brotherhood of those who actually were in combat regardless of their MOS. In Iraq we even had AF transportation units running convoys outside the wire. They aren't grunts, but they performed their mission in hazardous conditions and deserve respect, not scorn because they don't have a cord.

When you turn: "BLUE: that is forever." When you change MOS's you are still "BLUE."
It follows that the Blue Cord remains with the soldier that earned it!

SGT Tj Casiano actually you earn that BLUE CORD. Fort Benning is not joke even in today's new training standards, Benning is still considered the hardest.

I love my blue cord and I've deployed more times than most oc the guys i went to OSUT with. Seen more sand and Jack shacks than i care to openly admit. Had more Dear John because of Jody letters than i want to count, been dehydrated, ate sand blended MREs, and still to this day! I never forsake my creed as an Infantryman nor the Brotherhood.

We hold ourselves to a higher standard than most, we crave combat and while many coware from it, we yearn for it because we have accepted our own mortality and want to walk that line between life and death with disregard to whether or not we get to do it again.

The Last 100 yards is what it's all about. Wars are not won by machines, they are won by the men on the battlefield on the front lines smiling, crying, sweating, laughing, bleeding, etc. All so you can sit at your desk and say, "we got Intel saying the bad guy is here" meanwhile on the battlefield, "sir we all do respect but your intel is fubar"

Infantry, and i mean true infantrymen, embrace the life, embrace the suck, live the life, love the life.

We look at those before us
Gordon
Shugart
Patton
Eisenhower
York
Murphy
Moore
Chamberland
Bowie
Crockett
Greene
Madison
Washington

And many others that paved the way to where we are now as infantrymen.

We do the stairway to heaven ruck just to stare into a fire that you'll never see.

That blue cord and those rifles mean everything to me.

SPC Jonathan Bettandorff tme. There are those that are not infantry that i love and respect as well.

Supply being one of them. Without them, we wouldn't get the tools we need for the job.

Mechanics, we would all then turn into light foots.

Pilots, well you guys are angels on the battlefield.

Cooks, we always look forward to your meals as we return from the field because while MREs are okay, nothing beats hot chow.

Medics, it's obvious here

But my biggest coodo goes out to those who get trashed talked a lot, the 88M. You guys are always willing to give us a lift no matter what and drive us into Hell if you need too but you're right there with us

Lmao....scuba, halo, ranger tab, bat scroll, sf tab, honor guard....plenty above that piece of “gimme flair”

I earned a pair of the above, complimented with a bronze star....pathfinder is a gentleman’s course, you sadden real soldiers by your ignorance....thanks for your service though

Door gunner on the space shuttle. Lmao

99% of them were earned.
