Aw fuck, e7..and this is after '01..you could murder a motherfucker in cold blood and not lose it...it was just hard to get it. There are only so many platoons (Cold Steel!)
As far as misconduct and how easy it was to lose rank- I hit E5 twice. I got busted once for profiteering (cigarettes and MnMs, mostly). .......and the second time I got busted it was for doing my job but 6 mnoths later I was recomissioned to train new recruits in MOUT. Never lost my scroll, though, cant take that away from me, no matter what I do. It was only easy to progress in the army if you were infantry. We got away with everything. Kept it in house, you know? Doubly so if we had a scroll...I got off scott free on some shit that would have been a discharge otherwise. I was expected to lose my shit and go stone cold on friend an foe. It wasn't acceptable (we hold ourselves to the highest), just expected. A weird standard.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
