Sign me up, I'll help with that. Former Jarhead here, still know a thing or three about munitions and shooting.
My last duty station in the U.S. Army Infantry was as an Airborne Instructor at Ft. Benning, GA. Any M.O.S. in the Army that was assigned to an Airborne unit was required to come to Airborne school to get jump qualified. The only soldiers from the sister services were their specops, Navy SEALS, Airforce Pararescue, and Marine Force Recon. In my 2.5 years as an Airborne instructor I say with all sincerity, that Marines are some of the finest soldiers in the world. Highly motivated and disciplined. I salute you, my brother in arms, Semper Fi. Stay frosty...watch your 6...stay alert, stay alive.
And thank you for your service as well. That discipline you speak of is still with me today, and it's been many years since I wore the uniform; but my oath when I entered did not have an expiration date, and I suspect the same holds true for you. Thanks.
Roger that. My oath Sir, expires when I close my eyes for the last time, and draw my last breath. "...all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
Yes, thank you for your Servix, ahem, Service, and I was at that school in '84, Delta Company, the Beer Machine Company....
My Stick was Recon on my Right, and SEALS on my Left, I was in the Middle with a Female Major, but we ALL made it through, and the PT never stopped, Standing in line to eat, do PT, going somewhere, Run, waiting for Black Hat to call your Stick, do LOTS of PT....
Anyway, the M60, she is NOT called the ""Hog"", she is ""The Pig"", so please correct the nomenclature....
Plus you failed to state the Quantity of each....
For every M113, you need::
1 Ma Deuce....
1 M60 Pig....
2 M113 SAWs....
9 M16s...
2 M203s aka 40 Mike Mikes w/Two boxes of Mixed Rounds, mostly HE, Smoke, Shotgun, and a some nightlights....
That makes for a Full Squad of 10 Soldiers and 1 Squad Leader and 1 Asst. Sqd Ldr....
Some will have double/triple Jobs, but that's just the Infantry....
I'll take two boxes of Claymores, Two Boxes of Hand Grenades....
Everybody gets Night Vision Goggles....
All the rest is for Support personnel, maybe one of them will jump on here and give you a good setup...
I stand corrected. 😌 Drive on Airborne, drive on.
Every time this Commercial ran on TV....

Not quite certain whether the Servix reference was an insult or a joke.
Vet to Vet, Airborne to airborne, Sergeant to Sergeant, my direct and unwavering answer, and I am Unanimous in this, is a solid, Loud and Clear, resounding, YES....
