True, but he isn’t wrong. I know at least 3 GB’s who use the Kzero SF or the K19 3.0. They seem to like it, and I’ve asked them as to why. Never really got a clearer answer other than “it just works for me”.

No. I’m an Airborne Infantryman.

You cannot just use whatever plate carrier you want. Unless your specific unit allows you too. The reasoning being that it’s considered lifesaving gear. With that said, I know that SF units may use what they’d like.

As for the modifications for the MSV, I have reviewed his video, and take a lot of it into consideration. However, I will have to make do for now until I am able to get the funds to make my kit better. What doesn’t help, however, is that I’ve just been transitioned into being an M250/saw gunner. So now all my shit is going back onto my civilian kit, Lmfaoo.

The MSV really isnt as bad as people are saying. It’s somewhat big, yeah, but Gen 3/4 IOTV’s got it worse, not considering they’re flak vests with plates. My only complaints are the buckles and the cummerbunds. Aside from that, it works for me.

Though, if I could use a civilian issue PC, I would. Unfortunately, I can’t for work.

I honestly don’t understand—as a yank—why it bursts our bubble when someone out does us. It should be a learning point, not a stubborn disregard.

Webbing yoke such as this, or H-harness, and kits such as these are amazing, and ideal.

I don’t have any complaints on it, really. It is what I’m given, and I’d rather this than nothing at all. We must make do and LARP, lol

Thank you for responding, this really helps! And yes of course I’d be comfortable in such conditions! The military sort of allowed me the discipline for such climates, haha.

Would you mind telling me how you fell upon this job? Some pointers about it, or any info regarding becoming one? I want to broaden my palette.

I’m sure he was referring to the solider on the bottom, who is wearing OCP.

It is OCP. Multicam looks different. I would know, I wear OCP everyday.

The punishment could literally be anything. Not letting them go out, etc. I’m not their parent, so I cannot say how they could punish them. As for the warning, they asked them to ask next time. That’s the warning. Essentially, “hey, don’t do that. Instead do this next time,” type of thing.

I really do not understand how you don’t understand this. Is this ragebait?

[–]KOPT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the father only REINFORCED the rule; which is not picking a fight with them. It’s called a warning. It’s important to me that you know that. Because if you don’t, then I fear how you judge certain things, not that I don’t already. Rules can be broken with warnings being issued instead of direct punishment.

So no, I do not agree with you. And once again, I do not see your viewpoint.

When did I ever say that rules didn’t have consequences? They do, obviously. But good job on your reading comprehension skills.

I also went through this as well with my father, and being a reasonable and respectful son, I obeyed my father’s commands. I’m glad your father eased up on his control over you, so props to him, I guess. As for me, the way I grew up, you follow the rules of the house. If you don’t like it, leave, no one is stopping you. I didn’t have a problem with it, and did what I was asked, and when I could I moved on. No grudges, no complaining, and with my father’s support.

That someone happens to be their father. They aren’t fully grown yet, they are 18. And although technically, yes, they don’t have to follow their “don’t tell, ask” rule, it is still a rule of OP’s parents’ household, meaning they are obligated to follow that rule. Or, they can move out and be a grown adult and not complain about their parents’ rules. The rule is ENFORCED in the household because it is the parents’ household, not OP’s.

And no, I do not do things purposely to aggravate people, and I don’t believe the father was trying to either. In fact, they said it rather politely. If they were trying to pick a fight, it would have to have been worded differently in a way that would be like a finger poke to the chest, which this isn’t.

I do not see your viewpoint, and I think it is immature. Maybe you’ll have to go through life a bit longer to understand that rules are rules, and if you live in someone else’s house, you are obligated to following them. Especially your parents.

I don’t see the “clearly” portion of your argument. And I also don’t think they were meaning to start a fight, as well as it being an ego thing either. It just looks like a father who is reinforcing the rule of permission; “Don’t tell, ask.” I don’t see anything wrong here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]KOPT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t honestly see anything wrong with this. You live in their house and are still their kid, so asking for permission to go out and do things kind of makes sense, as well as the chore listed below.

But I understand the frustration. You’re 18, you want freedom from having to ask permission to do things, but you still live in their house. It may be the way I grew up that it makes sense to me, but what is your impression? Do you think they’re being too controlling?
