Read all 14. Well worth it. When I was in the USMC, we never called people who were in the Army "Grunts". We called them "Dogface" or just "Doggy". Grunts were our own 0311s. Funny, but later when I was in the Army, I never heard the word "Dogface" any more. ";^)

So what did they you do with your PR agent when you left the Marines?

I would also like to add that referring to oneself as an "Army Brat", "Navy Brat", etc. isn't derogatory! Its an endearing term!

I take it you weren't in the Third Infantry Division. Only they are the Dog Face Soldiers, not the whole Army. And they say it with pride.

6) If you witness someone calling the U.S. Coast Guard nonmilitary, inform them of their mistake... and kick their ass.

Last summer a real cute Coastie moved in beside me. I jokingly said that the neighborhood had a lot of military and a few Coast Guard.
She bristled.
I calmed her down when I mentioned that moving from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security almost brought them back into the fold. I still consider them more as cops than military, except when deployed in war.

The referring site tried to load spyware on my machine that was caught by McAfee. Clicker beware.

Nor did I ever hear "dogface" ever used in the Army. Grunt was a term to describe Army Infantry, not the Army as a whole.

On the ass kicking thing, great post. How about if we just go find someone and kick their ass before they screw up? Get ahead of the power curve that way?
