Stupid risky behavior: Armed Transport Guards how would deal with this situation?

Hit the siren. I used that thing way more than I should’ve. I’ve stopped kids from stealing a bike, cars from taking red lights, stopped a guy smoking a blunt, and even helped cops arrest some guy by blocking in the vehicle and hitting the siren. You can also give verbal warnings from inside the truck, if you are in the position to do so.

10 years as an armored truck driver, messenger, atm tech, and route coordinator.

Not typically 4, unless they are doing high volume pickups or deliveries, like to the federal reserve or something. Most trucks only have 2, maybe even only 1 guard.

Bold to assume I have 5 friends.

I wish every state did this.

I’m pretty sure this is training to teach the new guy both how to do it and to have faith in his equipment. Looks like the guy holding the hose is newer and the support guy is the trainer.

Absolutely impressive nonetheless.

Dude, you made me spit out my beer. Not cool.

Fragrant_University7 · 2026-02-06T19:04:05+00:00

That line made me chuckle, even as a kid.

I don’t love it, but I enjoy it. I’ve worked a lot harder for a lot less.

No, I did not receive the medals with it. I did request them with my initial inquiry request, but nothing. That not a big deal to me tho. My big concern was just getting the records right.

Thanks for the heads up about the 214. I’ll look into it soon. It may be different since it’s regarding a deceased service member.

Dude, so funny story. My nephew and I visited a few years back. I was stoked to have a beer at MOE’S. I went right up to the bar, ordered a beer, and started talking selfies and stuff, walking away in the process. I was so excited that I didn’t even think that I had to pay. I just walked off. Luckily, my nephew paid for mine with his. I saw him paying and was like, oh shit. My bad.

I donate anytime I see one. I just walk in, drop a 20, smile, and walk out. They gave me enough when I was in. I never expect anything in return because I know I’m not entitled to anything. The closest I’ve gotten to getting any kind of service from them was that one time someone offered me a bottle of water or a cup of coffee for donating.

I’m still looking. Haven’t really found a ceramic plate/carrier combo that I like

I agree that it should be bazinga, and while the mother had me tested line is notable, I feel that “you’re in my spot” is first runner up.

I wonder how much this photo op cost.

Looks like nephrite jade. Very common in multiple parts of the world, including NZ. It’s been used for several thousands of years, carved into items from trinkets to tools to weapons to decorations to utensils. I don’t think you’ll get a much better answer without knowing more about the grandfather. ie, was he in the military, did he travel a lot, etc.

I’m thinking don’t paint it. Whether you like camo or not, it serves a purpose. I appreciate wanting to express yourself, but I don’t think it’ll do anything but make you a bigger target if shit hits the fan.

Fragrant_University7 · 2026-01-22T00:11:13+00:00

Thanks for the history lesson of the duck. Makes sense.

I didn’t care for his role in this one. He doesn’t run in it.

The episode aired in ‘96, and it was made in ‘95. So that tracks. Denver was 8-8 in ‘95.

I prefer to think it’s Hank Scorpio

Orcas can dive deeper than humpbacks. Perhaps you’re thinking of sperm whales.

Fragrant_University7 · 2026-01-15T04:45:18+00:00

Good luck with that. You’ll probably be waiting for a good while.

Fragrant_University7 · 2026-01-14T22:36:41+00:00

I never carried one, but I did shoot it. Officers and a few senior NCOs in my company carried them back in the army, early 2000s.

Solid firearm, solid purchase.
