SVT Cobra and Shelby Cobra GT500KR

SVTCobra006
when done correctly the SVT Cobra can be the most intimidating machine on the street hands down. by far my favorite car and soon to be a proud owner. and for good measure i've always been a fan of the dodge ram, grew up with my dad driving a ram so naturally im gonna favor the lifted rams with a hemi. and the damn photos won't show up! piece of sh*t...

[QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"][QUOTE="smtfs2113"]

You were an 04?

0311, if you're asking about MOS.

It was a test and you passed. I am tired of people claiming to be in the military when they haven't (It is a federal offence).

the people who lie about military service don't really care that its a federal offense, they care more about looking like hot **** while trying to impress the unintelligent and chicks... trust me, i come across them every once in a while whether it be parties, restaurants, bars, theme parks, you name it. and its f*ckin gravy when i get to do the same thing to them (the whole 21 question test) only in front of someone they're trying to impress.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]Don't ask us. The Military is a big commitment, one that puts your life on the line. Think it though before you make a rash decision based on the opinion of a bunch of sweaty nerds on a game site who think Marines are coolest because of Aliens (myself included). Also, if you're just in it for pay, and don't want to get shot, then forget the Military buddy.trix5817

Some of the people that posted in this thread are in the military...

And no, just because you join the military doesn't mean you're going to get shot at. There are countless jobs where you will be out of harms way. People have such a distorted view of what the military is like...

thats got to be the most intelligent response ive seen on this thread so far. thank you.

[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="specialedpal"] Color is what defines camouflage.. Thus making them different. Thats like saying BDU's are the same thing as the OD's. Also, Functionally they aren't the same. The ACU uses annoying velcro and a zipper to close up the blouse. The Marine camo uses the traditional buttons. On3ShotOneKill
BDUs are the same as the DCUs, just the color is different. Function is what matters.

What are you talking about? If the camo of a uniform is different than they are NOT the same. The Marine's and Army's uniforms are also made differently, so you really need to stop talking.

The ACUs and MARPATs believe it or not actually do have a slightly different pattern, and obviously color so they are different. the MARPATs have a total of 8 pockets on the uniform whereas the ACUs have 10 not including the pencil holders on the arm and the extra pocket on the inside of the cover. there are a couple other pockets im sure, but i don't ever get that close to soldiers so... ACUs are worn with a beret (pronounced buray for the dumba**es) or a round top cover. MARPATs are worn with an 8 point cover. both are worn with desert boots (i've seen people wear both 8 and 10") ACUs are worn with a tan undershirt, MARPATs are worn with a green undershirt. ACUs utilize zippers and velcro with a collar that folds up to protect the neck, MARPATs use the old school buttons with a collar that is ironed flat, basically the same as the old cammies. and last but not least, i hear everyone in the Army complain about this one, you can roll the sleeves on the MARPATs (don't you dare roll them unless they look on spot) but you can't roll the sleeves on the ACUs. there are more differences but im trying to go have a cigarette... and comparing some kids' airsoft uniforms isn't going to cut it, they aren't the same as the real cammies, trust me on this.

[QUOTE="drachmas"]mainly i just want the easiest and highest paying branch there is lol. maybe im wrong for it but im not really into the whole "brotherhood" mentality and all the male bonding type stuff that goes with the military. im also not the type who wants to join just to shoot guns and blow things up. i just think right now its a good paying option with not having to deal with all the corporate BS and having to go to college just to get a decent jobrjxtian

definitely not the Marine Corps then. Air Force, or Coast Guard for you.

basic pay is the same for all the branches, for example an E-4 in the Marines makes the same amount of money as an E-4 Airman. however once you leave U.S. territory your pay is no longer taxed, some people time their re-enlistment so that they're overseas, that way when they get their re-enlistment bonus it isn't taxed. Other things like hostile fire pay, BAH, special duty pay, **** like that im not 100% positive but if basic pay is the same im leaning towards the fact that additional pay is as well. but pretty much all across the board we all make the same amount of money. If you want to make more money in the military just go IA or volunteer for deployment somewhere, im sure there are other ways to make more money in the military but the most conventional way is to just go do a tour somewhere. and the USAF recruiter that told you (roc boy) the Air Force is the only branch that pays for all your college is either lying his ass off or you heard him wrong. all branches do that. as well as the GI Bill which is the same for all branches. jrabbit: just because you're not in a combat zone doesn't mean you're safe, that all depends on your specific job in the military, not your branch. they are called job safety hazards.

And on a side note, the Seabees are strictly land based, we don't go on ships. Ship based construction and shore based construction are two totally different things...

Unless you've served in a particular branch or served alongside a member of another branch i would suggest you not throw around false stereotypes about the military. There are all kinds of people in all branches, I hear people say the Army is full of idiots with no future, and even though i've met and worked alongside quite a few soldiers like that, i've also had the privilege of meeting and working with a lot of smart mother f*ckers in the Army who have a bright future. Not everyone in the Army is a hardcore machine who is ready to kill even in his sleep. Same goes for the Marines most of my buddies who went greenside were pretty hardcore before, but they're badasses in my book now, of course they're all grunts, not pogues. I've known some **** ass Marines in my day, and i'm sure the Corps. is ashamed of them but in due time they will act accordingly and gtfo! Some see it as a job and nothing else and that justifies them not being in the military at all, its not a job... it's a lifestyle. Love it or leave it. (i guarantee just about any grunt will agree with me on that one) Air Force? Yeah we all like to call them the Chair Force but in reality, I've worked with some hardcore Airmen that will f*ck your s*it up any day. Then again i happen to have a few friends in the Air Force who are some lazy a** mother f*ckers as well so... And the Navy? I'm not in the fleet, im in the battalions (Seabees) but most of the people i know who aren't Seabees, are fleet Sailors. We are the same deal as all the other branches The Navy has some lazy, good for nothing, worthless piece of s*it dumba**es, but we also have some hardcore sailors who don't play around and are on spot all the time, and squared away like a proper Sailor/Seabee should be. As far as a family in the military? have fun with that. I have yet to know someone in the Military who has a wife/girlfriend who can handle deployments, they are out there, but i have yet to find one, or someone else who has. Then on occasion you hear the stories about who got cheated on while they were away. Some guys never go through that, some do. In my own personal experience its just best not to be in a serious relationship in the Military. When it comes to that subject just make sure you're both prepared and absolutely positive about what you're doing... The benefits are pretty much the same throughout the Military minus and plus a few things depending on the branch, college is free you get the G.I Bill yada yada yada... In my "opinion" one shouldn't join a specific branch based off of second hand or even third hand information, and a hollywood stereotype. The individual should join because of the job fields they are interested in. All branches have jobs that are the exact same thing as the other branch, for example the intelligence field, and then some branches have fields that others don't. For example we don't have an infantry division in the Navy, however the Marines and Army do. On the other hand though the Navy has the Naval Special Warfare/Spec-Ops community, Corpsmen who are FMF qualled (Fleet Marine Force), and the Seabees... all combat related/based job fields. Talking to a recruiter isn't the best way to go either, rather talk to many people who are currently in the military and have worked alongside members of other branches as well. Some people have a biased opinion on their particular branch, but there are others like me who see them all as one team (who wears a sh*t ton of different colors) and gets the job done. This goes for everyone talking about the military on this thread, we're all brothers and sisters of a family bigger than you could imagine, we're all family and we depend on each other regardless if the guy next to me is wearing MARPATs, ACUs, ABUs, or BDUs, it doesn't f*ckin matter. Yeah there are a lot of people who shouldn't even be in the Military, but at the end of the day... we all have that one dumba** in our family...
