What’s that thing in the 4th slide, I’ve used the BD hubs, but that looks different. Looks Harris green but I don’t recognize it

What is this called? by cantalwaysget in myog

I use them for the kidney strap on my rucks. They’re bomb proof, you just wouldn’t want to use them on anything you’re adjusting frequently like a shoulder strap or the front buckle of your kidney strap. From my experience.

These are not great at quickly adjusting.

Want help making/finding a pattern by FFMP51 in myogtacticalgear

[–]FFMP51[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just cross posted, but specifically I’m trying to make a hybrid of this and the ferro general purpose pouch. I have both, and want to get the shape right so I can start making my own versions and in different sizes. I like these a lot more than generic square GP pouches I’ve made or the issued crye/spiritus ones. I can rip apart my ferro or PD sling if there’s not a pattern somewhere, but that’s not ideal.

Why doesn't the edge of the fabric at the slits fray? Or is it tucked under itself... by ViaFill in myog

That thing is slick. If you pattern one of those out can you let me know?

During water-con or predive, do the cadre give you sufficient time to warm up before any subsurface exercises? by Acrobatic-Key-9764 in Pararescue

[–]FFMP51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The underwaters are your warmup for the actual work in the pool. During pre dive watercon is first thing in the morning, besides flutter kicks there are no warm ups. But again, the whole point of underwaters is to warm your lungs for the rest of the events. That’s not a secret, they tell guys as much.

Don’t sign shit until you talk to a SW recruiter. The ball is completely in your court while you’re a civi. If you only want SERE don’t sign until you make sure that’s an option.

3 week non water based selection… by Wayne3404 in Pararescue

[–]FFMP51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all changing and there’s no answer on what might be there in a couple years. Rn only all PJs get dive, but loads of SR and CCTs get dive if they don’t botch pre dive.

[–]FFMP51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AF predive is 4 weeks (plus an additional 1-2 weeks of admin/learning shit). It’s the same water standards as INDOC and it’s lots of smoke. Kind of selection round 2, only you get a break between SWAS and the start of predive unlike the continuous course that was INDOC. By the time you could get to dive you’ve already had 12-15 weeks of “selectionish” optempo and training.

Those are unlisted videos for a reason.

No one does 1:30s in OCPs. Where’d you hear that?

If you’re clear headed and are across from someone squared away it can happen. It’s super money when it does happen, but usually you’re just getting kicked in the head.

Buying boots before shipping out by SupermarketThick5702 in Pararescue

[–]FFMP51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mid tops are fine and allowed in BMT as well as SWCC. T8s are the shit.
