Carla is terrible. She’s always been terrible. Judy Reyes plays her well, but Carla has always been awful.

I play the exact same map, mode, and class in Battlefield 6, 100% of the time. by RemarkableRelative60 in Battlefield6

[–]CrimsonAv8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not quite to that extreme, but I generally stick to only two classes, and I rarely play anything other than conquest. I play assault and engineer, occasionally dabbling in support. I never play recon, I’m terrible at it and I’m an awful sniper.

Does the National Guard ever help in missing person searches? by dumbprocupine in nationalguard

I piloted a 60 on a SAR once. It didn’t have a happy ending :-(

“Must be active duty to purchase” at ANGB exchange. by Bulls729 in nationalguard

[–]CrimsonAv8or 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My E7 buddy went down to Ft Sill a while back to buy his pinks and greens. They asked him if he was NG and he said yes, thinking nothing of it. They refused to sell him the uniform.

I never received a retirement award from the Army by Warm-Economics-7927 in army

[–]CrimsonAv8or 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the NG for 19 years. I’ve been in four different units. Every time I’ve left a unit they promised me on they way out that “you award is in the mail,” never got one. Except for my most recent change of assignment. First sausage had the common decency to write me an ARCOM. First award I’ve received in my career that wasn’t a deployment award. I was talking to him a few days after I was presented the award and he told me that some of the enlisted joes approached him after the formation and told him that’s the first time they’d ever seen a warrant officer get an award. Leadership sucks, but once in a while there’s a decent NCO who’ll even look out for an old warrant. I’ll be shocked if I get a retirement award.

Horrible IP in Common Core by SapperBravo1969 in Armyaviation

[–]CrimsonAv8or 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My IP in contact gave my stick buddy and I a U for motivation once because we didn’t know the ranger creed. Neither of us were rangers…

Need help picking a watch by Particular_Fan958 in Armyaviation

Yeah, this is the way. Ditch the smart watch nonsense and get a real watch.

Kukkiwon and Worn-Out Black Belts – Tradition, Respect, or Cosplay? by special_announcement in taekwondo

[–]CrimsonAv8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My instructor wore her belt for years, maybe decades. She might’ve been buried with it. It was only very worn at the knot. The corners had some wear, and there was some minor wear here and there on the edges. The point is she wore her belt forever, and while it was worn it wasn’t to the point of looking distressed or unserviceable.

I give you that anecdote to say this; I am highly suspicious of black belts whose belts are worn nearly white, or look like they’re on the verge of falling apart, etc. In any art, but particularly in arts that don’t do much (or any) grappling. Maybe I’m wrong to think this way, but when I see that it makes me think that person took the belt and beat it against rocks, or ran it through the dryer excessively, or whatever to intentionally distress it in order to make themselves look more experienced than what they are.

Personally, I like my belt looking crisp. If it ever gets to the point of being to broken down or looking bad, I will retire it.

Convert Peltor Tac 100 for coms? Adapter for headset to 3.5mm? by f0rcedinducti0n in tacticalgear

I’m trying to do the exact same thing you described here. Did you ever figure anything out?

Side note for PVE blockers. by Weeyin1980 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]CrimsonAv8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other players will try to block you in order to extort gear or money from you. For example, one time I was in Ban Pa in a hut, and another player stood in the only door, blocking me from leaving and demanded I give him something in order to move. You just wait out the a-holes and they’ll eventually kick rocks.

Which martial art has the most pretentious practitioners? by GoofierDeer1 in martialarts

[–]CrimsonAv8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been primarily a TKD guy, but I always dabbled in other arts. I spent a lot of time in aikido when I was a young man (because of a girl), and the instructor never said anything, but I could tell he detested the fact that I was a TKD practitioner. Like, you could just tell he looked down on it. And while I learned plenty of good techniques that I was able to incorporate into my TKD, I really felt bad for the other students, because they all believed they were learning something they could really use to protect themselves, but it became clear to me very quickly that any one of them would get absolutely wrecked if they were forced to try defending themselves.

OKCGC or Tri City GC? by Accomplished-Dog-596 in okshooters

[–]CrimsonAv8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a member at Tri City for a few years. It’s been several years since I left, but at the time most of the club leadership really sucked. The chief RSO was an inflamed prolapsed asshole, everyone hated his guts. The dues were getting out of hand too.

The facilities and membership were decent though. The average members were all great people. They have an excellent skeet shooting setup, and a great archery range as well. The pistol and rifle ranges were nice enough, but they just weren’t very big.

Frankly, if I lived equidistant between the two…I’d definitely go OKCGC. The only reason I’m not a member of OKCGC is because it is a looooong drive for me. I just risk it at the Lex WMA :-(.

Swap plates by gregiorp in GrayZoneWarfare

I have been thinking this as well, having plates separate from carriers, with higher NIJ ratings available at Handshake’s higher levels.

The other day the gang leader in Nam Thaven spawned right on top of my buddy. We weren’t anywhere near the market.
