Sean, You operate any with Marines? I have to say, they are darned fine soldiers. I got to operate a bit with them over the years, attended one of their aviation schools, flew the MARSOC guys in Afghanistan, and later, the regular Marines all over southern afghanistan. For your run of the mill, day to day guys, they all act like 82'nd, 101st or 10th mountain infantry.
My first deployment (OIF3 05-06), our entire brigade served under II MEF. I'm proud to wear their patch on my right shoulder. Good folks to serve with. I've never had an issue serving with Marines, but that doesn't mean I don't give them a good ribbing. ;-)
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

After a spell of up and down the Euphrates river valley we went back together under USASOC. So I have the RCT2 patch and some others.. lol
Us Army wearing Marine combat patches...We've already seen dogs and cats livin' together, and boys married to boys...So I hate to think what's coming next???Marines wearing Air Force patches???????

But since he was now a soldier in the Army, he had no Army unit patch to wear on his right shoulder. We wear the unit we are assigned to on our left shoulder, and the unit we served in combat with on our right shoulder. The once Marine, once soldier didn't yet have permission to sew a non-Army unit patch on his right sleeve so he was standing inspection wearing all these combat awards with no combat unit patch.The senior sergeants did not like that very much...
