Funny military memes, B.S., and shotgun club!

Valhalla. Battles every day, drunken feasts every night.

Lol

 

Promotions are weird in other branches. I mean we get SWE and marks(it' own game) plus our awards for the current rank/grade/etc.. but when everyone's maxed in points, those matter.... (plus other services also put education in the mix) ...

And Lt Lee is my soul animal some days.

I saw this very random article yesterday in my News app on my smartphone, "All US Army Badges and their meaning", so naturally I looked out of curiosity. Most of them I was unfamiliar with. Some were from WW1/2 eras, and have since been discontinued. Others were from long after I ETS'd in 1988. These 3 really caught my attention. Feel free to comment if you have some actual knowledge on any of them.

Expert Soldier Space
WTF?? Is this like a participation trophy?? Way after my time.



Jungle tab
Created in 2014. For a special school that was shutdown in 1999. Better late than never, I guess????



Driver and Mechanic Badge
Established in 1942. "If you drive Army vehicles you will get this badge". Ummmmm..... I worked in a motor pool. I drove a Deuce and a half. I have never seen or heard of this badge until yesterday....???




Just a little humor for your Saturday.

 

#1 - equivalent to EIB/EFMB for soldiers in other MOS that don’t qualify for those badges. Typically given to those who do the EIB course but previously just got a nice handshake out of it because they weren’t 11B/C.

#2 - there’s a jungle warfare school again.

#3 - pretty much a gimme badge if you have a license and have driven for some certain number of miles and not crashed.

 

Very cool, thank you. I knew someone would be able to shed some light fo rme.

 

Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Vets. An especial Thank You to all who served during war time.

 

Happy Independence Day
