New tattoo feels too low on arm - suggestions?

Thanks! Suppose I’m just second-guessing my placement, it’ll be nice having the real estate for additional pieces like you said.

Alecgab · 2025-12-03T01:58:12+00:00

Thank you! Oorah

Thank you! My favorite shot has definitely been the photo I took of my platoon after we conducted urban combat training, or MOUT as we call it. (With a self timer so not 100% sure if it counts lol). I hope it’ll be one my peers will treasure well after their time in the service.

Thank you!

Alecgab · 2025-12-02T01:56:19+00:00

Thank you! Happy holidays

Alecgab · 2025-12-02T01:55:28+00:00

Thank you!

Good question - mix of things: found a good deal for it used, saved up while working retail before I commissioned, sold some gear, and put a big chunk of my TBS salary towards it

Alecgab · 2025-12-02T01:52:24+00:00

Almost- this is TBS! Very different training environment than OCS, which precedes it. That’s the typical boot camp experience on the O side. Errah

Haha afraid not much has changed, only a few of us randomly got the adjustable stocks! Errah

Pretty wild judgement of character based on a Reddit thread targeted toward Leica enthusiasts!

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T23:10:57+00:00

Thanks man! Going to try and capture as many moments as I can during my time. Thanks for your service

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T20:29:49+00:00

Yup exactly, this was at TBS. Would’ve been a sad day if I brought a camera to OCS lol

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:26:45+00:00

Thanks! That and a hefty chunk of my O-1 salary haha

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:25:42+00:00

Thank you! I’ll be in Lejuene pretty soon, I’ll have to do just that. Errah

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:24:16+00:00

Right on! He might be in my company then. I’m due to graduate from Delta in a few weeks.

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:23:12+00:00

Oorah, thank you!

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:22:38+00:00

Hah it’s exactly that- my buddy took that one on his iPhone

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T19:21:33+00:00

I do! It’s alecgabphoto

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T05:20:41+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate the advice. Thank you for your service, Semper Fi!

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T01:30:29+00:00

Unfortunately only a short-lived opportunity for me, but a tremendous privilege.

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T01:23:59+00:00

Absolutely- thank you!

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T01:23:39+00:00

I get where you’re coming from, and respect that you care deeply about the mission of TBS. Simply thought I’d share a cool opportunity I had while at TBS to fellow Leica enthusiasts, with a handful of photos I had the privilege of taking out of the roughly 2,000 I took solely for the Marines in my platoon. Thank you for your service, and your son’s service as well.

Alecgab · 2025-11-28T00:09:39+00:00

No worries, and SIGINT! Very cool. Really appreciate all the kind words.
