I am the Infantry.

I am my country's strength in war.

her deterrent in peace.

I am the heart of the fight-

wherever, whenever.

I carry America's faith and honor

against her enemies.

I am the Queen of Battle.



I am what my country expects me to be-

the best trained solider in the world.

In the race for victory

I am swift, determined, and courageous,

armed with a fierce will to win.



Never will I fail my country's trust.

always I fight on-

through the foe,

to the objective,

to triumph over all,

If necessary, I will fight to my death.

By my steadfast courage,

I have won 200 years of freedom.

I yield not to weakness,

to hunger,

to cowardice,

to fatigue,

to superior odds,

for I am mentally tough, physically strong,

and morally straight.



I forsake not-

my country,

my mission

my comrades,

my sacred duty.



I am relentless.

I am always there,

now and forever.

I AM THE INFANTRY!

Wow!!!! I am impressed, I dont mean to sound  like an a hole but how hard is it to copy and paste the creed and pretend like you were or still are an infantryman. I dont see the point in you posting that. You had to expect a reaction like this from someone right????...Posting my creed doesnt make you one of us and maybe I am way off here but I am calling bs...

STEP INTO MY KILL ZONE

AAHHHH!!!  KILL!!!!!!!

Hey, RLTW78, How about an intro post before you start insulting people.  Read the TOU, too.  It's the rules.

I was 11-Bravo when we still wore Army-green,Our side-arm was a m-1911-45-cal. pistol.We didnt haveany fancy crew-served weapons,Our m-60 Machine guns were heavy and jammed.We diddnt have computers,Our morter-team used calculators and kentucky-windage.If we got smart-assed with sarge,and got knocked on our 5th point of contact,Well We just learned our lesson and drove on.I have had the pleasure of visiting such pleasure-spots as Central and South america, East and west Germany,(Dont ask),Grenada,The mddle-East and Africa.And oh yeah, When I was serving,You had to EARN that black-beret,By going to Ranger-school,And completing it.

Yep, no camo when I was in, and the 1911 was still king.  I remember the troubles with the M-60, too.  Broken bolts, jams, and when the barrel got hot you'd better have your towel when it was time to change it if you still wanted to have any meat left on your hands. 

 A change of uniforms, weapons, enemies, or AO's doesn't mean a change in being infantry.

It's tattoo'd on my shoulder, my blood runs blue, and it runs deep in me.  I am the Infantry.  If you have something to say about it, if you think I'm not Infantry, then F**K you!  I spent 8 years serving in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman.  Here are some facts that would be a little hard to google:



In basic training I started off with C Co. 1/19 INF on Sand Hill, I broke my foot and was moved to B Co. 2/58 INF (the House of Pain) after I healed.  Bravo Company had a motto that we yelled along with the Infantryman's creed, the only way to know this motto is to have been there.



B 2-58 is who we are!

Best trained from near to far

We're lean and mean, we run the course

We're trained to kill without remorse,

We train and train in every skill

We always find the means to kill

We're the ones who bring disaster

Those who know us fear the Bush Master!

Those of you that talk S**T are the same ones who either dropped out or were kicked out of the military, or just never had the balls to join in the first place.  Or you were some lame ass P.O.G who hates the Infantry because we always steal your girls.  And By the way... Thats SERGEANT joe schmo to you!!

Wow....shit just got out of control in here....everyone needs to take a chill pill and smoke a cigarette

Quit comparin whos d**k is bigger

Gotta agree,
But come on Guys! It's cool every now and then to reminise or be reminded of your duty when you read the Infantry creed. For some reason every time, I see the creed I have to read it because it's symbolic to me. Having the prestige to say u are a grunt or was a grunt is the best thing. Maybe it was any easy way to get five points but no matter what if you are infantry or not, you should always respect the creed when u see it. I'm sure the guy who posted it is just proud of it and wanted to share it

It is something to be proud of.  Whether you are an Army Grunt or a Marine Grunt, we're all Infantry brothers.  We chose to take on the hardest job in the military (besides Rangers, Special Forces, and Force Recon, BUT they're all grunts as well).  We are a breed apart, that's why we stand out everywhere we go.  Looking the sharpest, shooting the best, weapon's the cleanest, acting the most professional.   I'm proud to be a Grunt and I'm proud to call the rest of you Grunts my brothers!

Yea someone's testerone was a little to high and they started challening the author of the thread if he was really a grunt and what not.......makes suspicious as to why there challening...Im grunt and wont challenge somebody when they say there a grunt unless there oblivous, so I wonder if the above are grunts, they seem a little insecure

I think the infantry instilled in me the disicipline I needed to acheive the things I have achevied. I beleive every young man should do atleast two years as a grunt because of it. I will tell u that I've seen a lot of nerd type guys become grunts to have the title, also have seen them become police officers because of the title, prestige and power. Also seen power hungry guys join as well because of the things mentioned. Atfter being in the fields for 13 years I can pick them out. Since I am a leader I set those guys down and mentor to them about, it's not the title and prestige, you have to love it. Don't have the love then your not cut out.

ahh..a fellow B 2/58'er

i still remember screaming that..

1st was Airborne

2nd was Warriors (mine)

3rd was Mad Dogs

4th was Raiders..
