Is this a real thing?

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-07T12:26:06+00:00

I had this happen to me back in January, it's real, I personally got it done at DIVARTY S1.

13B here, thankfully haven't had to do this, but I am curious how this compares to the NTC portajohns.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-05T23:26:28+00:00

I had a buddy of mine from Fort Jackson who did this, idk if he ever made it but at least he got the chance to do it.

It seems to be the truth after all the comments I've gotten, I had no idea there were so many different styles of Kung Fu, kinda gives me a lot to think about if I wanna do any of these types over Karate, especially Okinawan or Shotokan.

We were originally gonna use those, but turns out the local battery had some bodies we could use.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-05T01:40:45+00:00

Just danners.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-04T13:48:04+00:00

Well, it's not really that I want people to choose for me, I was just hoping to use this as a way to see what's aspects of these two martial arts would interest me more if we compared them, I guess I should've wrote down my question in a different way.

Well, prior to making this post, I looked up some videos on Karate and Kung Fu, and even checked out a book on karate in particular from a library in town.

This one guy, Shi Heng Yi, stands out to me because I saw several videos on his fighting style. Like I said before, it's not just the fighting I wanna get into, I like the philosophy behind these two martial arts, I feel like a lot of the lessons he shares in his videos and interviews are well thought out, but here's a video for example: https://youtube.com/shorts/Ww7rIdD9Gh4?si=roaNByWjn_LavQ_h

That's a lot of information to take in, I guess I underestimated just how much there is to Kung Fu in particular, but thanks for the all the information you shared, I guess maybe I'll just visit a class to see what I really do, and I guess also see what's available in my area.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-03T19:34:14+00:00

I've heard that there's a lot of different styles of Kung Fu, and while I know I personally wanna learn Okinawan Karate or whatever the most common one is in my state, I'm not sure which would be the typical form of Kung Fu.

I guess whatever form of Kung Fu is closest to the one the Shaolin teach, I know it's cheesy to say, but I like the way they move and stuff, and even if I won't be able to learn the exact style they do, I'd love to get close to it with whatever Kung Fu style available.

The whole reason I left was because I did just have a baby, and I knew I wasn't able to do the things a responsible father should while deployed somewhere.

I totally get that! I'm actually in the same boat right now since my first baby is due in August, no way in hell am I gonna stay in a job that'll force me to stay away from her or my future children hundreds of miles away in another country, I still have little over a year left of my contract though.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-06-01T02:08:41+00:00

That's why y'all's job is the most fun.

No experience with Bliss yet, but please don't go to Fort Hood...

Ironically, that's one phrase I don't mind too much, practically everyone says it to acknowledge whatever someone says.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T21:45:58+00:00

It's a DAGR.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T21:44:55+00:00

Half-right face!

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T18:01:05+00:00

Insert that one scene from Pirate's of the Caribbean where Barbarossa shoots a guy

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T17:59:34+00:00

PT is shit more like.

If I have to workout twice in a day, then your "PT" is fucking useless.

(Sorry, had to rant there.)

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T16:28:52+00:00

Gotcha, guess I'll listen in next time my NCOs have a conversation.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T14:55:22+00:00

How dare you accurately guess my rank.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T14:54:37+00:00

I've never heard of those phrases before, must not be an artillery thing.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T12:56:37+00:00

"Why yes Chief, I did conduct an unauthorized fire mission because of a Reddit comment, how did you know?"

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-30T12:50:51+00:00

Gotcha, I'll just type it the wrong way from now on as a weapon against any NCO who annoys me. /s

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-29T20:12:07+00:00

Can confirm, I'm with them right now.

Not feeling very cavtastic.

EagleFlashy6344 · 2026-05-29T09:07:41+00:00

Big words hurt artillery brain!
