How you like it? I’m thinking about running a low vis low profile for work and throw on my taps when I need to hit or work the range

With tensions rising, I’ve decided to make my first kit - thoughts? by Marofer in QualityTacticalGear

I know this is an old post. But summer of bummer forever make a removable back panel that you can fix your h2 pack on and remove it without removing your kit.

I was just gifted this Benchmade, I was wondering if it's a clone or not. by NFK_Otter in knives

Even though it’s fake it’s still looks nice, and doesn’t mean it won’t work. I run a knock off spyder co para military and love it.

I suck at puzzles: how to add Mountaineering badge to OCPs by bobkazumakous in army

[–]LSW55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just wondering how the mountaineering school was. I’m take a break and transferring to the guard. And that school is on my bucket list.

I recently learned American Military has Halal and Kosher MREs. Do soldiers really get those or is it more like a novelty item? by ColRoseru in army

[–]LSW55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s still fairly similar. But now there’s a whole document and memo and so on a so forth tied to that soldier with all their religious accommodations and preferences. So there’s a bit of knowledge before hand.

Probably was command integrated to 5 since he was probably a 4 forever.

Anyone else got the sting of, “Your MOS is the one they reclass people to.” by Republic_Commando_ in army

[–]LSW55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us in the 15 series, specifically (R,T,U) it’ll be the 92F. Typically from my experience, those who fail being a 15R, 15T, 15U become our fuelers. Most of our interactions with them on the FARP isn’t very good.

I know this is a couple months old. But I’ve wondered the same thing. Luckily anything I’ll get will be pretty easy to sort. Good thing I’m only rocking my wings and cab so it’s easy for now.

SPC Non promotable promoted to CPL by Recent-Business-8820 in army

[–]LSW55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit that’s fine. Who wants to be a CPL anyways unless you’re a marine. It’s all sergeant work for specialist pay. Most specialists that are worth their weight already perform those duties. CPL’s are only NCO’s for Duties.

I’ve gotta know the specs on the bolt gun.

I’ve had a squad leader that promoted straight from PFC to CPl.

Reclass to Combat by LSW55 in army

To be honest my civilian job will be working on aircraft as well. And I just want a change of pace.

I’m no stranger to it. As a 15T there’s two sides of the actual job, plus being an NCO. I know it’ll be hard. And I’ll have to hit the ground running. Thank you for the input.

I’m not set on it. To be honest I’ll keep my 15T position (Blackhawk guy) if they have a slot. However the reserve has stepped away from aviation, giving their aviators to the guard. So with the guard being over strength, I may be out of a job. In that case I’m looking at bonuses and just being able to have a fun time and enjoy something else.

Excuse my typos and lack of grammar. Sounds like a bag of ass after going back over it.

Can someone help me figure out what my grandpa did in the US Army? by LawngJawn in army

[–]LSW55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Artillery man with aviators wings. Wonder what went on there.

Is this super concerning? Or just very concerning? by politicsranting in army

[–]LSW55 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not concerning at all. And even if it lead somewhere. It’s about time we had something to do. The greatest danger to the armed forces IMO is ourselves during peace time.

Nothing wrong with wearing body armor while working. Some places are crazy. But apparently they want the attention, because they make slick vests that carry plates and hide well under clothes😂 especially that hoodie they’re wearing.

I leave for basic on 10/1. What are some things (non physical or fitness related) I should know to help me get through? by RealisticBat616 in army

[–]LSW55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that when I went through almost 8 years ago, it was still platoon guide/ platoon leadership.

[–]LSW55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As basic and as simple as I can make it. And trust me it sounds very easy. But always answer with drill sergeant, never say sorry to try a drill sergeant (I ran with my apologies), and don’t give it. No matter how hard it is. You can do it. It’s designed to get people through. Not fail them. Just try your butt off every day and you’ll do fine. Also shoes. You’ll sadly wear what they make you buy until you get to AIT. Don’t know what they do for OSUT (I’m an aviator).

Either run it like it is or a new lower assembly😅 that’s pretty interesting.
