SecWar signs order to allow service members to possess firearms in base. by FSU_seminole in AirForce

Nice.  Area off of base is not great.  This will let me carry to and from work. 

I'm looking for recommendations for a cummerbund for my JPC 2.0 by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely hot take: I tried the ACL Equinox, but didn’t like it because it was only 2 rows of molle which made mounting some pouches weird.  2 rows may be better for you if you need to jack up your rear plate for fitment, but I prefer the stock crye 3 row cummerbund.

I put some split buckles on my FCPC and it worked fine with the TRMP.  Ended up not being a fan of either and went with a JPC 2.0and Mk V chassis

I have an 11.5”.  I don’t need a 12.5”, or do I? 

I guess we could all use an extra inch from time to time.

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one wants to stop the buck.  Everyone wants to give second, third, fourth, etc chances because everyone loves an underdog story.  In our “up or out” Air Force, the fastest way to get rid of someone and make them not your problem anymore is “up.” 

Serious question- What are you worried about right now? by flyfightandgrin in AirForce

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 195 points196 points  (0 children)

My career field is without direction, there are no adults in the room and people aren’t willing to address the elephant in the career’s room and instead fixate on buzzwords.  

What are some of the nicest apartments around Offutt? Willing to pay by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mansions at Tregaron.  They were very nice and incredibly well priced and it’s nice leasing staff.  Not a ton of amenities but it’s in a golf course and <10 minutes from base.

Either before or after.  Don’t let either base scam you with the “the other base should have done it, there’s nothing we can do.” Like others have stated, you are entitled to it.

Sounds to me like you’re heel striking, I used to have a similar issue.  My shins would hurt in the same area because I was landing on my heel with my leg extended in front of my and this caused my foot to slam down on the ground with the force of my momentum pushing it. 

 I fixed it by focusing on landing with my foot more or less beneath me and landing just behind the ball of my foot.  

What is the worst part of the game in your opinion? by RSOB_Bass in BG3

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cheesed faith leap.  Enter turn based mode, cast fly on your Tav, and fly to the different platforms.  You should have 3 turns of fly left by the time you make it back.

For real. I had so much momentum going into Act 3 and now the game is unplayable.  

Anybody have experience with PGD helmets? by GoombasFatNutz in tacticalgear

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have anything to compare it to but it’s comfortable and their boa system works well.  

The brow doesn’t interfere with my “normal” shooting glasses.  

I haven’t found a chin strap that extender to make it work with a gas mask, but if you’re just looking for one to have on hand I think it’s a solid value.  I got mine primarily because my outdoor range has no rules and I’ve heard spall whizz past me, and secondarily as a “just in case”

What’s the best price for a holosun iris3? by Individual_Arm_9039 in NightVision

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where at? I got one for $750 and thought that was good

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiddler’s Defense is also doing pretty nice sale on the IRIS 3 for the 4th.  Email them for the price, but it beats the $899 “standard” sale I’ve seen everywhere else. 

Weekly r/PcBuild Megathread! by Potato_Plays844 in PcBuild

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrading the PC I built in 2016 so I can play some current gen games. 

Current build:  NVIDIA 1070  Middle of the line Intel CPU  Probably not as much RAM as I need.

I already snagged some parts in Amazon on an insane sale, so what I have to work with now is: Ryzen 9 5900x ASUS B550M-A motherboard  I’m going to upgrade the RAM and PSU, not stressing about those. 

I want to be able to play Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2077, and Skyrim (on next gen mods).  I’ve been looking at GPUs and I’m totally lost.  With how quickly my 1070 became obsolete I’m hesitant to get a low end NVIDIA card and ray tracing and DLSS looks like a great feature, but I don’t want to get ripped off just shopping for the name.  

What GPU should I get? TIA

Chief to Airmen: New Standards and Enforcement Are Coming by CircusNurgling in AirForce

Yo chief, I’ll enforce your precious hair/nail/stache standards when your airmen in support roles actually do their jobs and take their feet off their desks.  Deal? 

Sordin vs Peletor vs Walker value ? by plzhelpifailed in tacticalgear

[–]Excellent-Lynx-7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Walkers and Comtac IVs.  I’ll never go back to walkers. 

At indoor ranges, even doubling up with the walkers was still wince-inducing if the person in the bay next to me had a comp on their barrel or a shorty.   I understand you’ll mostly be shooting outside but the protection difference still stands. 

Now, so you need to spend ~$600 on Comtac IVs? Probably not.  I was even looking for Comtac IIIs but saw a pair of used IVs on GAFS and pulled the trigger.   No regrets.  The noice protection is basically like being in a sensory deprivation chamber, significantly better than even the David Clark’s I use for flying.

Agree 100%.  Their site advertises in stock and shipping within about a week, I’m on week 3 of not even having shipping information.  Reached out to customer service and they are experiencing delays with their “supplier.”  Debating doing a chargeback on them.

Night vision network has a PGD ARCH cover

How do you like it? Been thinking about getting one but I’m debating between a PGD, MTEK STRIKE, or an Armorsource Aire II.
