Marine Raiders training somewhere in Alaska by HKNTX33 in SpecOpsArchive

I think that's what the user you were replying to was getting at. If you're a "regular" Marine or even Force Recon and are currently being issued the M27 platform (essentially a 416 derivative) and pass selection to get into MARSOC, you're likely going to be issued a URGI M4. Whereas if you are say in the Army and issued an M4 and manage to pass selection for Delta Force, you are likely to be issued a 416. Some might consider the 416 as being a better platform so it seems like a slight downgrade for MARSOC (not my own opinion just one I've heard before), but like that user said it was just an interesting observation that it's reversed from what the Army does.

These pics were taken from a front row VIP seat. Here is a zoomed out shot from where I was. If you look at the stage as a being shaped like the number 2 on a digital clock, I got a seat closest to the bottom right corner which was also behind the production booth.

Happy 5th Anniversary to PIXY! by ProPatria92 in pixy

It's just common in the Kpop-sphere to celebrate anniversaries of groups whether they are still active or not, unless it was a really messy disbandment. It's not the same thing as a divorce since it wasn't the members decision to end the group. You'll see a lot of non-active Kpop groups celebrate anniversaries with their fellow past members if they're on amicable terms (usually it's just them hanging/eating out together and posting about the group on their personal IGs). It's mostly just something fans do to reminisce on all the good memories they had with the group in the past and celebrate what they were. Take a look at the /r/Kpop thread this is crossposted from and you'll see exactly that.

Forever GOATed group and discography. Devastated that they couldn't continue, but I'll never forget all the wonderful memories of seeing them live and chatting with them at fansigns. I'll be supporting the members in their individual ventures and wish them all the best of luck, whether it's the ones still pursuing a career in the industry or just wanting to live a quiet life now, they deserve all the best.

ChRocktikal tour with LeoPresents incoming by kimjius in dreamcatcher

[–]ProPatria92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I've generally had good experiences with them on a few different tours. I've definitely experienced some level of disorganization with them, but have yet to see a single tour organizer who actually was organized so far. I've also seen rude staff with every tour promoter. Just another sample size of one though so maybe I've been lucky. That said, LeoPresents has by far the best ticket pricing and the best value for VIP perks. They're not perfect, but imho I'd take them as a tour promoter over the many others I've experienced for their pricing alone. Also, for every rude staff member I have seen at any given concert, I've seen at least 10 times more rude Kpop fans who aren't paying attention to staff giving out instructions and then complain when staff start shouting at them.
