Blood wings absolutely happen. I was an Airborne Combat Engineer, completing in Oct 2008. After our 5th jump, completing Airborne school. The Cadre pin your jump wings during the official ceremony. Then, turn a blind eye to unofficial and against regulation to getting your blood wings. Where the backs of the Airborne wings badge are removed and punched into your chest. It is absolutely a right of passage. And if you didn't get your blood wings in Airborne school and you are assigned to an Airborne unit. You will get your blood wings from your new unit, most likely.

30 vacation days sounds like a lot, until you realize, you only get to see your family and friends, 30 days a year. The other 335 days a year, you’re alone.
If you don't have friends in your unit wth are you doing? My best friends I made in the service, not seeing family sucks sometimes, but friends change over the years.
@@Airburn19 in my first unit, I had plenty of friends. Then one commited suicide and two were murdered, to say nothing of the guys who transfered out. Once I got to my next unit, I only made one friend. He later turned out to be a bit of a monster. It's been over ten years now since I got out of the army and I don't keep in contact with any them. Those few I did keep in contact with, well... I suppose. I could always get back on Facebook and try and restart a connection, but at this point it feels like a cold call. My story is by no means unique.
Well greatly appreciated fellows throughout the 4th military week of said April! Splendorous goldbricked men y'all. You worked so hard on this one today!!
The Army did blood rank as well when you become an NCO or pass a certain school such as Airborne, SF, sniper training etc. I still have the scars and I’m damn proud of them as I worked hard to earn them. People need to stop being such nancies.
Scary thing is that while the fascists (i.e. government controlled corporations) are working hard at all levels to feminize America, China is doing the opposite and is pushing a campaign all over their nation to make their men more masculine. What do you think the end result of that combo will be?
Yea if the people who had it done to them wanted it done and are proud of it, the problem is only in the eyes of people looking on at it, not a part of it, and being offended on behalf of someone else
I'm offended! J/k I didn't get blood rank when I became an NCO, but I did when I earned my Airborn Wings. Those were my blood wings; I never wore them again and kept them safe. I'm not superstitious, but I will not be the one they point to as proof that its real. lol
For infantry we got blood cross rifles? I'm pretty sure they were cross rifles, but air assault didn't do anything. Hopefully some places keep the blood whatever going.
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees, coughing blood, as he screamed for his mother. I fell by his side, and that's how we died, clinging like kids to each other. As I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood, and I wept as his body grew colder. I called for my mother, but she never came, but it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame. And that's how it is for a soldier..
I would not be surprised if the pillow fight turned into a campus-wide free-for-all, involving the staff, using any weapons they can find. They split up into factions, dominating different parts of the school.
Lol we showered maybe once every 2 weeks in Iraq if we were lucky enough to go back to the fob. A lot of us came back with skin conditions like chronic hives
(Laughs in Victory) I am sorry to hear that, Buddy. Thank yiu for helping keep things in perspective. That said, I would've gladly stayed in Iraq then have to go back to garrison in Fort Drum.
@Bradley E too be fair, when you're fighting in an austere environment. You simply can't get access to showers or hot chow. Especially if you're the first unit operating in the area. It's just the nature of the beast. That will never change as long as we are waging wars with each other.
Hey Simple History, do you think one of these days you could make a video on the Battle of Mogadishu? I’ve seen the video made by The Operations Room, which is really good, but I also wanna see your take on it.
@17:26 One of my old Army Units would "Blood Wing" the E-4 All E-4's and NCO who put them on, and any Other NCO's or Higher. E-3 And Below, was not allowed to participate in smacking our rank on the collar. Surprisingly everyone in the unit wanted to get to E4 but but didn't enjoy the day.. but it was looked back on i think by most in a form of like "Reverence".. or I made it, or "Brotherhood", it encourages I think that you try to get E-4.. I was fond of reaching that point.
This is amazing, do you think you could do something about the balloon busters, as they destroyed loads of German blimps in ww1, and it is quite cool. Have a great day everyone!
Hey man, you’ll hear it a million times over the next few months, but god damn is it the truth. The quickest way getting out, is getting through! Make the most out of your time, and Godspeed.
I always make sure to have my daily taut of rum. Yes sir. The best way to wake up and be ready for duty sir! and to wind down when leaving duty sir! keeps the men happy sir! A TAUT OF RUM MAKES A SAILOR HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND EAGER FOR BATTLE!
Private in Vietnam: hmm... you know what? it's an RPG kind of day. I'm going to treat myself with an RPG. Officers: DON'T *Wink Wink* Private: sure, I won't take it. *takes the RPG* I'm just gonna do some heavy "research" with it.
2:27 Yeah, I was a medic. We were trained in force health and sanitation-not just medical care. It’s a big deal. The motto of the medical corps. is “to preserve the fighting strength”.
Blood wings applied to any service for parachute wings, air assault wings, and I guess whatever wings the Air Force has. Everyone in my unit got blood wings and then did push-ups on the red log. Good times 😂
Most of the WWII weapons used during vietnam were confiscated from NVA cachès and taken from NVA soldiers as they were often purchased from countries that had these left over from WWII stockpiles. The main weapons that were shipped to US soldiers from home were handguns and knives, not rifles and automatic weapons. When I was in during Desert Storm, we weren't allowed to keep any weapons, empty casings and usually captured knives and bayonetes, although quite a lot found their way back to the states.
At one point I tried enlisting back in 2015 in the Army or Marines but I was rejected, I think I might have a better shot at joining French Foreign Legion if I were to try again.
Let’s just say I have a medical condition that they didn’t want to put in the extra effort to waiver even though others with my medical condition are still serving in full capacity.
I’m Going to Join The CT Army National Guard in 2024 after 2 years of Naugatuck Valley Community College Waterbury CT Hopefully my Family, my Girlfriend would be Proud of me
I can confirm that getting pinned and blood striping have been COMPLETELY eliminated in the Marine Corps. I have NEVER seen such a gruesome and heinous act, and am appalled that you would suggest any such thing happens. I don't have any recollection nor scars in my chest and collar from my various rank insignias... /S
COMPLETELY? I've seen it with my own eyeballs in the army, so it must still exist in the marine corps, not only that but I have seen the scars and heard the tales from marine friends. Some opt to 1 inch punch the rank patches as well.
When you get rid off facial hair like beards, then you don't need to worry about getting dirty around your mouth when you eat since you have then just clean skin to wipe off the face. You save then on water and on supplies.
Most of military life is spent in "Hurry up and wait mode". Short bursts of high intensity excitement with long periods of boredom and monotony inbetween.
My uncle scored so high on the ASVAB when he was in high school the Air Force kept contacting him to join 😭😭😂😂 but he never did. (He said he wishes he had listened to them)
I had to buy a new blouse after my blood wings lol. Lt said “imma let you boys do what Marines do.” And then 32 people took turns setting and resetting my pins
If a soldier has all this time to do this hygiene, they are blessed to be on a major base or away from active combat. Soldiers don't have time for this when they are actively engaged with an enemy.
Нет, есть. И за этом должен в обязательном порядке следить командиры. Прежде всего, эти вот, казалось бы "мелочи" помогают не сойти с ума от стресса и отвлекают, переключая внимание. Во вторых, позволяют поддерживать гигиену и уменьшают так называемые "санитарные потери". Наконец, замечено, что если человек прекращает следить за собой, то появляется чувство безнадёжности, а самое опасное - чувство безразличия к себе и своей участи. А это всегда ведёт к гибели. Я понятно излагаю?
@@Mr-Wisdomthief Yes... but it's a term that was used in Korea when US Infantrymen had to replace the crews of tanks. with a quote from one of the officers "You went from dog feet to tank men." I honestly prefer this term better. But hey grunts work too.
Uhh missed some important facts. No their body plates wouldn't help against arrows or javelin. There is a separate speacilized body armor for knives as they pierce the bullet proof armor easier then you'd think.
I’m not sure either of those assumptions is correct. Considering the tech and lifestyles of that era, actual uniforms would have been limited and uncommon. Considering that Alexander was going against the Persians, and knowing that they all wore beards, he might have ordered his troops to shave in order to lessens the likelihood of “friendly fire” attacks during the chaos of battle. “Stab the guys with the beards, don’t stab the guys without the beards.” Grabbing beards in a fight is a real thing. So is grabbing long hair. I know…I once grabbed the long hair of a large man who attacked me and grabbing his hair enabled me to get him into a rear naked choke (no, this wasn’t during a sport fight, it was a street fight).
My favorite MRE when i was in the Army was beef stew, which came with a vanilla cake, fruit punch mix, chocolate covered raisins and pretzel sticks. It also came with coffee, creamer, sugar, utensils, TP, alcohol wipes, gum and toothpicks. Honestly the most filling MRE.
Mine used to be chili Mac but they redid the meals so now mine is chicken burrito bowl

There are only two reasons it was misspelled. He either did it intentionally, or.. well, I don't like demeaning Intel Weenies.
@@SharkOSix ... Maybe. Certainly true after the fact.

@@MisterNi he had one by the end of the tour, especially considering that was only like the second time he ever wore the helmet. One time when we flew in, and one time when we flew out. “Combat tested”. He heard the boom when the gate got shot at. Once.

Considering that Alexander was going against the Persians, and knowing that they all wore beards, he might have ordered his troops to shave in order to lessens the likelihood of “friendly fire” attacks during the chaos of battle.
“Stab the guys with the beards, don’t stab the guys without the beards.”
Grabbing beards in a fight is a real thing. So is grabbing long hair. I know…I once grabbed the long hair of a large man who attacked me and grabbing his hair enabled me to get him into a rear naked choke (no, this wasn’t during a sport fight, it was a street fight).
