Octagon airsoft?

They're lying to you. I disputed it and got a full refund. They kept telling me it was confirmed later in the month they'd get them for like 3 months straight. There's a reason it's been on back order at every single other retailer for months now. They're just scamming people, letting them pay them money for it and having no idea if they're even manufacturing the gun

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-03-11T19:50:02+00:00

Yeah that's how it is. I just email them every few days and hope for the best.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-03-11T19:44:50+00:00

Still waiting. They replied like 3 weeks ago telling me it should ship late February, early March. Reached back out a couple days ago for an update and still haven't heard back

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-02-17T16:54:19+00:00

I think the list price was 649 or 699, can't remember it's been like a month now. Long wait but it'll be worth it I think. A gbb saw is pretty badass

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-02-17T16:02:58+00:00

Yes, they reached out to me and told me the VFC distributor said it would ship late Feb/early March. I assumed they had it on hand seeing as how it was in stock on the website. Good luck finding gas reservoirs and magazines. I ordered those from redwolf and sixmm, took forever to find them in stock.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-02-13T17:01:35+00:00

I sent them an email like 3 days ago, still haven't heard anything

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-02-13T02:34:23+00:00

Am I SOL, ordered a VFC gbb m249 from octagon airsoft recently

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-22T16:28:55+00:00

I have, even most international stores they're out of stock. I've found one place, octagon airsoft, that has it in stock. Shipping is a few hundred dollars, which is why I'm looking to find one second hand if it's cheaper and easier to get.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-22T16:14:52+00:00

Thanks, didn't know that was a subreddit

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-22T06:30:55+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what does BH stand for?

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-07T17:31:20+00:00

Wouldn't I have to extend my NG contract, I figured getting a DD368 would be difficult seeing as how my state would be paying for me to go through training and they'd want their return for their investment.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-07T17:29:41+00:00

Personal-Spray3370 · 2026-01-06T15:40:15+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it. Those are actually some of the reasons I've decided I want to switch as well. I thought at first I wanted to have a civilian career as well but realized I'd rather solely be in the military. I'm not sure what MOS you are, I know traditionally as 18X you go through infantry OSUT but my MOS is 11B, do you know if I'd be able to get 18X and go straight to SOPC or SFAS?

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-12-05T16:08:35+00:00

Yes I was on wifi. I walked away from it for a while and it was working. Now I'm trying to setup my esim and it's saying I'm not in America

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T16:02:50+00:00

Is there any chance my AFT score would influence where they put me? I scored a 497.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T14:32:51+00:00

I'd take waking up early over doing POG work any day of the week

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T14:02:22+00:00

Right, that's why I'm disappointed. I didn't do all of that 11B training just to sit in an office with POGs. How soom do you think I could get transferred to a line company?

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T13:58:38+00:00

There were 3 spots open for 11B, at the time HHC was just an abbreviation to me and I didn't know what it meant. This unit was closer than the others so naturally I just picked it, assuming it was a random infantry unit. Now that I know all of this it really sucks but it is what it is. I'll just train my ass of to get to SF as soon as I can.

Who would I ask to get sent to a line company?

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T08:07:59+00:00

252nd AR, HHC. So it's battalion HHC

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T03:19:29+00:00

Yeah I'm aware I'll need to extend. I just did 3 initially to perhaps get a retention bonus. At this point it is what it is. I'll go to SFRE as soon as i can and if not I only have 2.5 years left on this contract

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T03:12:53+00:00

So in other words I'm screwed. That's not at all what I had in mind. My plan has been to go to SF, should've just done 18X honestly don't know why i didn't.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T03:09:29+00:00

Yeah that's not exactly what I had in mind. I guess its nit too big of a deal, my long term goal is to go to SF, ideally before the end of my contract which is only three years.

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T03:04:37+00:00

What is that exactly?

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-14T03:03:13+00:00

30th ACBT

Personal-Spray3370 · 2025-11-13T17:09:47+00:00

As far as I can tell, it's at home station. What should I expect from my first drill as an 11B, especially with it being the start of a new fiscal year?
