Those people in Army uniform are National Guard... not really Army. Makes me sick...
In the real Army they'd get thrown out quick.
Seriously? Did you ask him?
Not all national guard is fat like that, and not always do they get kicked out if they are overweight. The 82nd was just over in Baghdad and they had a few rather large people. There is no proof from the pictures that the soldier is active duty or national guard or reserves.
National Guard is real army, they just don't train all the time. They do the same job as active duty, go through the same training, go to the same countries, wear the same clothing, shop at the same places, get paid the same when they go on title 10 orders or title 32 orders...some get paid better while they aren't on orders which is why they don't want to go active duty even with all of the money you're entitled to with food, housing, etc.
Oh, I'm national guard, not over weight, been deployed like active duty, qualify with a weapon just like active duty, pass my pt test like active duty, have a pt shirt that says ARMY on it, I wear ACU's, I carry an M4...oh, and I got a military id that says ARMY, it doesn't say NG either.
