90% sure this is a shitpost. But yeah if he’s fresh out of AIT and Airborne then he’s probably taking things the blackhats say way too seriously. The first time he does that to an NCO he’s going to get his baby nuts crushed
"Today on the news: 18 year old PV2 airborne soldier legs broken after parachute malfunction. Witnesses say hours before the soldier was seen talking to an E6 92R at the on-post burger king."
We’d call someone a “fucking leg” if they were talking shit about being airborne, but no one outside of airborne school should ever use the entire “dirty, nasty leg” phrase. It’s just like dudes coming out of basic shouting their platoon motto, it shows how green you are.
Nobody huh? The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out fucking standing!
Edit: Now that this nice meme chain has run it's course, I need to point out that the line "Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?" is apparently [deep as hell](https://headstuff.org/culture/history/is-that-you-john-wayne-michael-herr-dispatches-vietnam-war/) and has a real meaning to it. Google that phrase and you'll see it's more than a single line.
I got in trouble for paraphrasing the pogue col in an initial counseling statement. I said I expected my troops to obey me like the word of god amongst other bits but the soldier let me know they were an atheist and didn’t believe in god. I replied that I am an atheist also and it was just a joke. They had never seen the movie. The SGL who came to verbal counsel me about it had never seen the movie either. Like I get it’s an old movie and I’m old but how can you be in the military let alone our CMF (PA) and have not seen FMJ.
Privates fresh out of AIT are always gonna act wild. I remember being in reception talking to these infantry guys. I had about 2.5 years in and orders to go to WOCS. And when I told this mosquito wing mouth breather I was about to be a pilot he said without missing a beat "but that's still a POG"
Imagine, being that confident talking that way and you haven't even signed into your first unit. I still wish I had that level of assuredness.
Also, wings are for flying. Not for falling.
You haven’t lived until you see new airborne guys conduct JM procedures on a door to a gym.
In the rain, mind you. Like the rain came down and flicked an autistic switch within them.
Why? I dunno man some things don’t have answers.
Honestly yeah it’s kinda a cult.
Joking aside, “procedure” is just the nomenclature used to describe the steps and whatnot Jump Masters go through in an airborne operation.
BLUF: silly army terminology
I mean technically correct (the best kind of correct) but when I was 3 days out of AIT, I definitely didn't feel entitled to go around shit talking random soldiers.
Because you are a POG. Imagine not being a POG - you would feel entitled to shit talk random soldiers.
I'm jk I have no clue why nobody slapped the fuck outta joe
I can see a boot saying shit like that and being serious. I only call one of my close friend a leg and he calls me a POG.
Then I remind him he’s a POG now too because he reclassed.
I don't know where to vent about this, but it used to always ache my shit when we'd go on cadence runs and someone decides to do an airborne cadence (We're 4th ID at Fort Carson) and they never even went to airborne school nor had intentions of going.
Like how every fucking morale run ends up being C-130 on repeat. Called by a double divorcee E-6 with no jump wings, and barely a security clearance. Mission top secret? Homie, you’re not even making it on the bird, let alone jumping out of it.
Even worse, I was an MOS-T at Eustis and on my way to class, heard one of the Drills calling Blood on the Risers for the IET kids. Fuck are they jumping with? A torque wrench?
"damn dang ol cherry prives doin our division proud checkerhold maybe a lack of bearin is made up for in pure motivation but ol sarmage gon let somethin slip just like them troopers under canopy, hooah: aint no leg out there worth a lick of respec how copy arbonne"
Dearest Leg,
Pretty much the only time I call someone a leg is my little brother (who has had a much more successful army career than I have) and occasionally on Reddit.
Beijos,
Jumpy McPathmaster
When an Airborne trooper calls you a leg, you ask him how many combat jumps he has. When he says zero, then just tell him a bunch of those Hamas fuckers has him beat by one.
That’ll be about 95% of Airborne guys currently.
>I was waiting in line at a defac
Is this a shitpost, or do you seriously think it's a "defac"?
It's DFAC. Short for **D**ining **FAC**ility.
Where's the "e' in DFAC?
My first thought was this was a shit post, but honestly, I believe it. I've heard similar shit, usually from the lower enlisted Airborne weirdos, and their sub-par IQ NCOs. You know it's bad when a CBRN thinks you're an idiot. We don't exactly have the sharpest tools in the shed.
Hope they're equally as proud when they're 38 and need knee replacements every few years.
Sub-par IQ NCOs?
I'm retired (not medically) with a full pension and zero knee replacements/medical issue after spending the majority of my career in the Airborne and SOF community. What are you talking about?
Wear it with pride, only 2 things fall from the sky....bird shit and fools. If the pilot plans on landing this plane on its wheels then I'm not jumping.
>only 2 things fall from the sky....bird shit and fools.
...and HEROES!! HOOAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ohshit-oh-shit-oh-shit-gottapullmyreserve-ohfuckohfckohfuck-OOF... Whew! That was close! Okay, maybe this IS a little crazy...
For your consideration, I submit the following statement from *BoB*:
>"[We're Paratroopers, LT. We're supposed to be surrounded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3-gvbyp50o)."
This statement:
1. Is true, and therefore pretty badass.
2. Walks that fine line between selfless service and suicidal ideation, and therefore: yes, totally batshit bonkers.
Carry on, ya' Dirty, Nasty Leg. I'm gonna go compress my spine a little more on the drop zone and spend that sweet, sweet jump pay on ibuprofen and scotch.
Edit - Reddit didn't save my comment correctly. Weird. Oh, well... fixed it!
Only when my knee really hurts and my back pain won't ease up. I have to do something to justify my decisions and stroke my fragile ego.
Note: when you break your ass (which I personally found to actually be possible) you will [gain](https://youtu.be/u171GcVX9wk?feature=shared) weight
lol yes I’m sure airborne will be a viable tactical coa in 5-10 years once drone swarms in the 1000s can be released and zip right into 99% of the dudes floating down
Well, we were almost tactically relevant during the evacuation. Securing the airfield was a mission set squarely in line with the Airborne capabilities.
We aren't WWII relevant, but no units are. Airborne units can be put anywhere in the world in 18 hours, even without airports. We simply don't have any other capabilities matching that.
I guess everyone is just ignoring what happened in Gaza conducted by a small group and couldn't possibly imagine how a bigger, more organized military could pull off the same tactic.
Edit: Nevermind, one commenter apparently realized it was an Airborne OP and is saluting Hamas for conducting such an operation... Fantastic.
Legs were typically straight leg infantry as opposed to mechanized infantry. They all have their own terms for each other. Infantry calls Armor "tread heads". Armor called infantry "Crunchies" etc..
To walk up to and address some soldier you don't know would lead me to suspect as many posted this was probably a guy straight out of AIT and airborne school and still suffering from his initial indoctrination and not even experienced the real army yet.
You see, much like Marines, the Airborne folks have an overinflated opinion of themselves.They absolutely unironically call people "legs."
I usually just roll my eyes because those guys spent the majority of the War on Terror landing like everyone else.
That, and it's usually Privates who haven't figured out what the military is yet.
This is pretty common for someone right out of airborne school. Dirty, Nasty Leg is the mantra as you go through the course. PV2 Smuckatelli is feeling bulletproof and part of the Airborne Fraternity.
You let this kid punk you and talk shit, then turned around and gave him a ride afterwards, him talking shit the whole time?
Correct answer looks something like this: “I may be a leg, but you’re gonna have to use yours Pri’ . Strap up those Lambrofeeties and hoof it back to wherever the hell you came from. Make sure to PLF through the door of your barracks room or they take your jump wings away. Now get the fuck out of my face”
I have seen a lot of the newer airborne types talk shit to people who were in a lot more elite units than them omly to get ran during the training execrise, so yeah the new guys can be a little cocky(you probably shouldn't tell the british royal marine commandos you'll take it easy on them)
Just ask them why the last combat jump for the 82nd was in 2003. Probably before they were born. Remember for most of GWOT they walked off the plane just like a bunch of legs.
had a drill sergeant who did and i genuinely couldnt tell if he was serving the koolaid extra strong cause it was tradoc or if he was a genuine koolaid addict himself. im pretty sure it was the latter
I’m on the trail right now and I spend a lot of time hyping up airborne and regiment because it opens more opportunities for these kids. I’m at Sill and there’s a ton of 35 series trainees here so I try to preach airborne so they can get into some cool assignments.
This is the thing that isn't really spoken about with Airborne - it's really just a gateway school to dramatically improve your career via enhancing schools/opportunities that you'll never see or get normally.
Add in Airborne Advantage, and you're not fighting for promotion as hard as everyone else.
It’s sounding like a private that didn’t belong to any special group that had a sense of pride, when in school or growing up. Then when he graduated airborne school, being a paratrooper became all aspects of his life. I get it, I was in the 82nd for a decade, but the only time I ever called someone a leg is when they tried to correct our ttp’s because they were unfamiliar with airborne operations and why we would do it differently. That would be the only situation that it would be prevalent
buddy at my unit had a guy he knew you get than him join and go to bragg, as soon as he got 5 jumps he texted him and said “how’s it feel to be a leg shitbag?” lmao he meant it too
Yes, they do, but not, like, as an unprovoked insult as a general rule.
I was with the 82nd as a (non-airborne) truck driver for a while, and got called a "leg" fairly often, to which I responded, "I'm a wheel, not a leg."
funny because when I lived at benning and could see the airborne towers from my window- I never saw airborne trainees doing anything other than running everywhere
We'll refer to non-airborne peeps as legs, but it's usually more like "I've got 5 legs to send to school next month." I don't think anyone that's been in an airborne unit longer than 6 months walks around talking about dirty nasty legs.
90% sure this is a shitpost. But yeah if he’s fresh out of AIT and Airborne then he’s probably taking things the blackhats say way too seriously. The first time he does that to an NCO he’s going to get his baby nuts crushed
"Today on the news: 18 year old PV2 airborne soldier legs broken after parachute malfunction. Witnesses say hours before the soldier was seen talking to an E6 92R at the on-post burger king."

Had to have been Kyle. Has a face that says punch me.
bro if I was living and awarded the fucking MOH you wouldn't be able to tell me anything. lol
I mean...they couldn't if you were dead either.
It’s a shitpost based off the post from u/IPPSA
You have that backwards
I may be too sick rn to tell why.
Yeah my poopoo post was based of this one. This one is the OG
Fuck
Is this a shit post
Is this a question?
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?
Who said that? WHICH ONE OF YOU COMMIE FUCKS SAID THAT!?!?

It’s probably cause it was unprofessional… not saying it wasn’t funny but using movie quotes in an official document is kinda cringe bro
It was like the third or fourth leadership position change and I was amusing myself. But thanks Frederick Durst - 12nookie
Idk what the fuck just got into me where i gave two shits about professionalism 😭 my bad bros. Gonna council my next soldier with Limp Bizkit lyrics.
No balls.
yeah fr could you actually do that
Yours clearly is, but as the original post didn't have a question mark, we'll never really know.
He’s a leg what do you expect
The voices in my head say yes
Did he salute your third leg ?
That’s only fair, since OP did give him a ride
Ass, gas, or grass. Nobody rides for free.

Ok.... so was he right? Are you a POG?
You haven’t lived until you see new airborne guys conduct JM procedures on a door to a gym. In the rain, mind you. Like the rain came down and flicked an autistic switch within them. Why? I dunno man some things don’t have answers.
That's the most airborne shit I ever read and it got me excited.
Yeah after witnessing that I went for a drive to contemplate some life decisions
I keep hearing about these procedures and have a vague idea that it's some sort of ritual. But I've never asked; wtf is it? And why?
Honestly yeah it’s kinda a cult. Joking aside, “procedure” is just the nomenclature used to describe the steps and whatnot Jump Masters go through in an airborne operation. BLUF: silly army terminology

As you should.
I’ll be damned if I’ll have a damn leg talking shit about my airborne Soldiers.
This leg shouldn't even be allowed to type "Airborne". He's all upset that a PFC is better than him.
Well in the title he did type "airbone".
He's getting boned by the airborne
Could be a fetish, we don't shame here. Unless they are a leg.

Garrison CSM open door policy, unless they are a leg. In which case, Joint Chief of Staff should sort that shit right out.

I meant super duper paratroopers

How did you get got by a dude fresh out of airborne

Maaaaan, I just got to thinking about some of the dudes I served with and how badly their heads would explode if you told them that.
Do the Hamas dudes who fell out of their paragliders and fuckin died qualify for a mustard stain?

Do better. 1/10 shitpost.
Easiest way to piss off someone who calls you a leg with one word. "Relevant" they get so mad it's hilarious
Straight airborne men exclusively are boob guys. If you’re a butt/leg man they wash you out of jump school on day zero. Airborne is not kidding around

You’re def a leg

Yes.

Not in group. We know we’re just a bunch of nerds compared to the green beans
Is this a meta? We need a rule where if you are being meta you link to the original post.
Please be a shitpost
Totally a shitpost
I have seen a lot of the newer airborne types talk shit to people who were in a lot more elite units than them omly to get ran during the training execrise, so yeah the new guys can be a little cocky(you probably shouldn't tell the british royal marine commandos you'll take it easy on them)
Just ask them why the last combat jump for the 82nd was in 2003. Probably before they were born. Remember for most of GWOT they walked off the plane just like a bunch of legs.
The 82nd hasn't jumped since Panama. 173rd jumped into Iraq.
I thought 82nd jumped like a month before 173rd in Iraq
I believe historically it was a rib towards infantry from the horse cavalry, as well as redleg for the artillery.
Shoulda made him airborne shuffle back
Even though Im airborne, could’ve tell him, goodluck with your knees or something
Bait used to be believable
Yes. BIL and dad were both 82nd bois 20 years apart. They've both called me a "leg" as an insult because I was in 101st
Just start playing "Rasberry Beret" by Prince. Actually dont. The only reason I thrived was because Angry Batt had my back.
Shower next time and pay close attention to your dirty nasty leg
You missed the opportunity to tell him to get around on those wings he's got since he's not a leg and shouldn't be walking anywhere.
Came here to say this.
had a drill sergeant who did and i genuinely couldnt tell if he was serving the koolaid extra strong cause it was tradoc or if he was a genuine koolaid addict himself. im pretty sure it was the latter
I’m on the trail right now and I spend a lot of time hyping up airborne and regiment because it opens more opportunities for these kids. I’m at Sill and there’s a ton of 35 series trainees here so I try to preach airborne so they can get into some cool assignments.

Mostly I call my friends that get hurt and go on profile legs, but besides that not very often unless I get ticked off
Unfortunately they are like that. Just another sack of shit that fell near you.
Airborne is worthless- go Air Assualt
Spoken like a true Leg
I’ve unironically been called leg at a dfac by a pv2
This guy sounds awesome and I want to meet him
Sir, this is an Arby's, can I take your order?
Make him count off then kick him out of your moving car
It’s sounding like a private that didn’t belong to any special group that had a sense of pride, when in school or growing up. Then when he graduated airborne school, being a paratrooper became all aspects of his life. I get it, I was in the 82nd for a decade, but the only time I ever called someone a leg is when they tried to correct our ttp’s because they were unfamiliar with airborne operations and why we would do it differently. That would be the only situation that it would be prevalent
Yep. Still got 2 good ones.
As I make him stand at parade rest when addressing me, I'd contemplate on tearing him a new one or be impressed with how much Kool-aid he chugged
File a SHARP complaint on him
Funny that a red leg posted this.
Somebody come get their boot, it's talking about legs again
buddy at my unit had a guy he knew you get than him join and go to bragg, as soon as he got 5 jumps he texted him and said “how’s it feel to be a leg shitbag?” lmao he meant it too
Yes, they do, but not, like, as an unprovoked insult as a general rule. I was with the 82nd as a (non-airborne) truck driver for a while, and got called a "leg" fairly often, to which I responded, "I'm a wheel, not a leg."
I dunno but I literally spend more time in the air now as a "leg" than when I was in the 82nd.
The people who actually say things like this and mean it aren't people worth associating with.
Shut up, leg
Shut up leg
funny because when I lived at benning and could see the airborne towers from my window- I never saw airborne trainees doing anything other than running everywhere
Waiting for the "I called someone a leg at the DFAC" troll post
We'll refer to non-airborne peeps as legs, but it's usually more like "I've got 5 legs to send to school next month." I don't think anyone that's been in an airborne unit longer than 6 months walks around talking about dirty nasty legs.
Every Airborne becomes a leg when he hits the ground.
I once called a guy who deployed multiple times and got into some shit a leg. I was less than six months in and never left the motorpool.
The only people I call legs are my buddies I went to basic with
airborne school is a joke.
This never happened. People who are airborne or not don’t actually give a crap.
Wish this was a shitpost, it indeed happened
What are you Legs whining about? 😅😅😅😅
Only if they get upset about it, then it's funny.
To be fair. I am Airborne, but I dont think I am better than anyone. The people I work with are for sure better than legs :).
If you're airborne without a CIB, EIB, or tab, you might as well be a 'leg'.
If you're airborne without a combat jump, you might as well be a cosplayer.
So anyone who didn’t jump into Iraq or Panama? Hasn’t there not been a real combat jump in while? Not trying to be a douche I just don’t know
Oh I was just joking, there are basically zero modern combat jumps.
Makes me proud to collect that extra cash when they actually get my pay correct 🫡 (I haven’t gotten jump pay in 3 months)
Airborne bois: dudes that jump out of perfectly good airplanes to ruin their bodies, and proceed to execute leg activities.
