Soldiers With No Awards. #army#shorts

[TSPLY]

This is no ones fault but we always assume the navy seal or the green beret is the coolest and best guy ever and we can trust them. In every job ever and the military some of the best soldiers I have ever worked with were the ones who could care less about the clout or what school they could do. They could pass the training and schools but cared more about just being there and getting the job done. Also they won't snitch on you.

Medal of honour or a George Cross is a pretty good sign right

I’m glad my dad was able to have a lot of awards and also be well respected by the people he worked with

Ever seen a photograph of a North Korean General ? They have medals down to the hem of their tunics...and some on their trousers !

What are your thoughts on garlic bread?

Amen. I used to be in a battalion where the paper pushers were the most decorated, bc they had the connections and computer access to easily "earn" ArComs, AAMs, make sure any award they were remotely eligible for they got, etc. I knew a guy on deployment that earned his ArCom for taking out 4 insurgents; and also knew four paper pushers that earned theirs for "knowing their pre-fire checks" (basic information every artilleryman should know). Also knew guys that would refuse to wear certain awards they had earned overseas because they lost men on the missions that earned them those awards.
It really just be that way sometimes. Never judge a soldier by their eye candy.

I would only wear my top 3 ribbons according to Navy Instructions. Never felt the need to showboat. Same with Medals either all Medals or top 5 according to instructions.

My unit was full of some pretty badass guys. But their chest didn't reflect it at all. They were a national guard unit that happened to end up doing some badass shit in Iraq. (I came to their unit after they came back, I was never deployed.)

Yeah he ain’t lying, you can bust your ass off and just get an ARCOM while the commander gives himself a silver star for tying his boots

[A_Random_Dude_Typing_Nonsense]

Medals are polished fancy metals, scar are badges of strength and tenacity, reflection of ones will and determination to serve and protect ones country

I thought I was a rock star once they allowed the Sapper Tab

I 1, 000% agree. After 5 1/2 years in the sub force with a good chunk of deployments under my belt I had a lot of awards and I was not a good sailor by any stretch of the imagination. My biggest flexes are: I wasn't stupid and got in trouble like everyone else did, and I did the bare minimum SOME times. I feel like I didn't accomplish much and I definitely wasn't trying to either, I was just there to finish my contract and leave, and I did lol

Office workers get tons of ribbons and awards no one sees the real work done door to door

[Lynch]

Officers sweating after getting roasted

[kaumibon]

Facts 💯💯 some people are in to chase the awards but then again you can get an award for being in a area and not see or do any action

[DMurrayx]

I'm so glad you said that out loud!!!

[crazestyle]

Tell me you're a bitter underachiever with out telling me you're a bitter underachiever.

Office workers always get the most awards in the army they mean nothing
