If you're Army or Marines, you know what it is, but if not; I was in the Infantry ( 11B10, light weapons infantry ). Thing was, when it
gets tough, you have to just grunt & keep going. So we were called "grunts". Since I was in "Nam" in 1967, we have grunt67.
I used it on all my forums & other places I visit. There you have it.
I've been called worse. :D
Nothing wrong with being a grunt, dad was one also.
Gen. Paton once said he had a lot of respect for the soldier with the Combat Infantry badge, more so than the CMA.
My Dad's his has the Star in the top center, dang collar.
WW 2 & Korean.

Thank you and ALL the Veterans here for your Services.
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend.

RP, your Dad was a good soldier. WWII & Korea.Thats a heck
of a tour. I have the CIB also & the Purple Heart.
My Dad was in WWII.
If your Dad is still with us, tell him thanks for his service from
an old grunt.
It's a bond like none other.

Wanted to bring this thread back. We have a lot of new members and thought/hope they might have some interesting things to say.

Just now seeing this thread and see some of you were grunts. My Dad was in the Navy during the second but I was a grunt in the Nam in 66-67-68.
Welcome home brothers! I served with the 173 rd Airborne Brigade and the 82nd Airborne Div. over there. Stationed at FT. Bragg between tours and also a little secret mission in Africa.
Airborne!
But I am called Wil here cause my combat buds called me Wil there.

I’m from Pennsylvania “the keystone state” pretty unoriginal.

I go by “birdsnest” on some fishing forums because that is me with my baitcaster.

In all my time using this handle one one person knew what “Zara Puppy” was (or at least mentioned it). It’s bigger brother “Zara Spook” was given consideration but passed on.

Deadly bait in the shallows where there are tons of larger type rocks covering the bottom.
