American Sergeant opinion on Georgian military

[Motherland]

I'd say that vast majority of non-commissioned officers in the U.S. military are LITERATE, and would know how to SPELL. That quote is from a military photo site. Any PROOF as to the poster actually being who he claims he is?

I can think of at least one military poster on this site that has much worse grammar & spelling than the posts there, right off the top of my head...

I bet I can think of at least 3 nonmilitary posters who exhibit poor grammar for every military poster you can think of. Of course posting here isn't necessarily a clear demonstration of ones true grammar proficiency. Some are just careless or lazy.

You probably can. I was responding to this post.

Well, I don't recall any essays or grammar tests required for entry in the US military though there are definitely education requirements, including a reading comprehension evaluation. Furthermore, there is ongoing education in all branches of the US military with college participation highly encouraged and applauded for the enlisted corps.

I don't care how well you spell English, you are not a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. military, it isn't your literacy in English we're discussing.

It's pretty damned high in the military, especially once you get into the NCO ranks and above. In fact, the literacy and education rates in the military are often above the general population.

And this is the exact same conversation we had the LAST time boroda brought this up about the Georgians. 

An "Internet Sergeant" says so and so.  Any english speaking person then points out that "Internet Sergeant" is probably fake, due to bad grammar and horrid spelling abilities.

...they broke into shipping containers to steel MREs.

Proof that it's full of BS.  Who the fudge wants to steal an MRE?  Gimme a break.

An Ethiopian who has not heard that they have been rejected?

I currently have a squaddie in Iraq that served with the Georgian troops in Iraq.  I'll make a point to talk to him about what their troops are like.

All I recall him saying about them is they are "hard core".  IIRC he was saying they were a "tought" bunch similar to our military personell.

I will take the 1st hand opinion of someone I know and respect who has served and knows the Georgians over some drivle Boroda dreamt up.

Let ya' know what he said.

(edit: I'll just have him pop in here and tell ya'll himself)

You wouldn't happen to be a non-commissioned officer in the US military, by any chance, would you?

I quote an American serviceman, at least the guy said he is, and did it like half-year before they started a genocide in Ossetia. I sell it for the same price I bought it.

I am waiting for your squadmate's opinion anxiously. Seriously, it could be great if he appears here, may I ask him some questions? You know, just to tell he doesn't speak about Georgians vs. Texans.

I've seen some emails from E-5 & up that made me cringe, as far as spelling and grammar go. 

Spelling and grammar mistakes don't mean the guy isn't really an NCO...

The US military is a microcosm of American scociety to a large degree.

Talked w/ 'em this morning.  (WMTom btw, give him a <S> in the LW's when you see 'em)  He'll pop in here when he can.  Seems to be havin' trouble login' into the BBS from Iraq for some odd reason but he's aware of the thread and will post when he can.

I never had the pleasure to serve.  I tried to join each branch but I put my foot under a lawn mower as a teen and chopped up foot = can't enlist.  Which really is too bad as I had planned on joining our military for as long as I can remember.  I DID talk to a recruiter recently and they said I might be able to get in now, but at age 37 I should probably just accept it wasn't meant to be.  c'est la vie.

(interesting sidebar:  I was one of the people cited to Congress (along with a ton of others of course) as to why we need that little guard on the back of push lawnmowers which is now mandatory)

What did he say of the Georgian troops, lute?
