Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

[mem]

Yeah I was liking Scratch last week.. lol.. she is back on the shiz list.

Last week she tugged at our heart strings and made us care. This week we want to tear her apart with out bare hands. Not to reignite a debate that went horribly sour but anyone that doesnt see the beauty in what JM's voice acting brings to the podcast doesnt deserve to listen to this great work of podcastyâ„¢ excellence!

Maybe in the non-combat arms MOS's (well non-Infantry really). But not anymore than the Marines that are non-infanty. And I'd hardly call it common... As a matter of fact the top marine marksman this year at the National Matches placed 5th place... behind 2 Army dudes an Army reservist and a civilian (prior Army)

And if memory serves he's a poor shot with a M-249 (and is a fictional character).

Uh, no. Every Marine, no matter what their MOS has to qualify with a rifle. Cook, airplane mechanic, machine gunner. Doesn't matter. The Army has lower standards, not opinion just fact. Marines have been known all throughout history as being infantrymen first, their MOS second. The Army has no such distinction. One year of rifle competition doesn't make a trend, and at that level half an inch can make the difference between winning and 10th place. Your example is pretty much invalid because it ignores almost 250 years of history. Saul is a poor shot all around, it's been stated multiple times that he isn't the best choice to have when something needs shot.

Neither. I'm a Graphic Designer and a part-time actress. Though I guess the insane part could be debatable. My parents and close friends seem to like to call me crazy often enough

WRONG! You're clearly batshit cray.

Negative. You owe me royalties for using podcasty in a post.

Arguing who is the better shot, Marines or Army, seems pointless. Is it something that can really be proven?

Besides, I think the topic at hand was, Saul being a piss poor shot, which Yes, Yes he is. My homeboy is a bad shot, unless he's aiming with Cupid's Arrow, booyah!

Kidding, he misses with that too. When it comes to ammo, quantity is Saul's best bet. Burt is a great shot, but that seems like the type of thing he focused on. Hell, he and his wife were pros. It's like my girlfriend and I playing video games. We do it all the time so we whup ass when we host a game night. I think Saul could improve with practice, but for some folk, you either got it or you don't.

If we are going to argue poor shots as the sole Navy vet on the forum I really think we can claim that title. The only reason I learned to shoot as well as I did was an extra zero on a supply order form and the mercy of one young marine.

I heard you showed that young marine no mercy.

You are so weird.

You are so weird.

Funny you should say that. I was thinking you're batshit crazy.
