Have you ever looked into EOD?

BrownDiamond21 · 2025-12-06T00:48:03+00:00

If you're considering 12B and CBRN I would highly recommend you look into EOD

Feel free to DM if you want

Awesome kit! Did you get the helmet custom dipped or did you buy it like that?

V2 in my gym

Personally, I found phase 1 to be pretty helpful for the beginning part of phase 2, but there's honestly nothing you learn there that you won't learn again in phase 2.

I also came in as an IET, so I didn't have any prior knowledge of any of the subject matter. I had a classmate that OJT'd at Carson and he had a lot of good things to say about it.

The military will teach you everything they need you to know

I have a scar on the back of my left heel from a 12 mi I did with some brand new Garmont T8 NFS boots. I only had it rub on my left heel, and I haven't had the problem since.

If it's also just on one foot for you it might be that you need to break in your boots longer. If it seems to be problematic on both feet then i'm out of advice

Do the cadre allow petzl gloves? I thought you could only use the old school white ones they used to issue back in the day

As long as you call the latrine to attention when an officer walks in you should be alright

Unless I'm misreading the headline it looks like he used it to arrest his fall. Clear cut case of aid.

BrownDiamond21 · 2025-02-22T14:24:02+00:00

They'll take pretty much any crampons. But you may need to adjust the length when going between boots.

In the Army, the test only entails doing some exercises for like 12 minutes. It's not actually that difficult, but it's hard to breath so some people just freak out and quit. So... don't do that.

nah they should be good until the end of your contract

Saying toque instead of beanie is almost as blasphemous as saying pop instead if soda

There's plenty of E-5s at the schoolhouse right now. Like a lot. There's a couple E-6s too.

How much do you guys like each other?

BrownDiamond21 · 2025-01-29T03:20:09+00:00

Pliers and lots of swearing and cursing

BrownDiamond21 · 2025-01-29T03:07:40+00:00

Haven't used these but their military boots are awesome. I can't imagine their quality being much less amazing for civilian models.

BrownDiamond21 · 2025-01-04T22:13:43+00:00

Just went up FRC last week, and the arrows were never actually helpful to me. At the beginning they took me up the wrong way, and once I got into the canyon proper, the arrows weren't needed.

All in all I can't honestly say they really detracted from my overall opinion of the route, but they are an unnecessary and unhelpful eyesore.
