I don't think the terms of that fight will include endless patrolling with an 85 LB ruck on min sleep and chow for 61 days. If it does, you may have a shot
Fair point but it also means I’m not a quitter. 121 days for this recycle lol
Can’t say the same for those “warriors” lol

A tab, you’re right, it’s just school.

Your "I'm Ranger-tabbed" comment brought back memories of an "no shite, there I was" story.
Back when 3/4 was at Carson and the rest of 4ID was at Hood, I was an S6 for a mech Battalion under 3/4. The command climate at the time was toxic because the BC was trying to ensure that all of his leadership had been at any point members of the 75th. He refused to let his S4, who was senior to the other Captains, take command because he hadn't been to Ranger school, but I digress.
During a 4ID Warfighter at Hood, they flew a lot of us down to stay in CHUs and work at the Sim Center (waste of fricking time). During a pause in the exercise, a few of us went to downtown Austin. In between bars, one of the Captains in the group (worthless prior service piece of shite appropriately named "Moon" because he was the embodiment of Moon Moon before it became a meme) started trying to flirt with a couple of women walking down 6th Street. When they blew him off, he yelled, "Well, at least I've got MY TAB, where's yours?!" and pointed to his left shoulder (in civilian clothes).

If you don't know what the abbreviations (I used one. CHU = Containerized Housing Unit) mean, the post wasn't meant for you.

This is the football forum. Your military abbreviations are of no use here.

Sounds like a winner lol.
My point was responding to the OP was calling out fat keyboard warriors but I digress.
What Battalion and when were you there? I was at Fort Carson in 1-68 3/4 from 2012-2014.

That was the norm in any IN BDE, light or heavy.
If you weren't tabbed, you may get a Delta CO command in a light unit
It was the fast track to TL or SL for enlisted
It's why you went with the mentality that you weren't coming back without it, barring significant injury. It's why Wisconsin Tiger likely hung around dor 121 days.

These are the melts that keep me posting here. Thanks friend.
Giving up melts like this is like giving up an addiction. "I'm in control. I can stop any time I want to. Ooooo A&M fans melting because they pulled out of a bowl game! I need a hit of that!"
The Aggie melt will get most of us well through the holiday season and into the next year.

I thought 1-12 was light infantry for some reason but that may have just been 4th brigade. Did you all have Bradleys and tanks as well?
