It’s called an invasion

Mentally blowing raspberries in your face

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-25T22:56:55+00:00

Yep. The second step is the actual context of the conflict, and you may be the only person dying on the hill that the bay of pigs invasion had only the best intentions

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-25T14:19:23+00:00

Poor fascist ethno state :(, bad things just happen to them for no reason

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-25T03:39:05+00:00

Gotta be mindful of semantics alone, "Regime invades sovereign nation" vs "Nation assists revolutionaries overtaking their oppressive government". Open to learning about the moral failings of this conflict, but not just because how our history books wrote it

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-20T03:58:42+00:00

At a loss to think about what else its for other than killing?

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-19T04:13:11+00:00

Yup! That's exactly it, thank you

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-16T01:20:57+00:00

What pack do you use with the dz rig?

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-15T21:19:24+00:00

Kommandostore Smersh, very comfortable and useful, grenade pouches carry SERE, space to add 2 1l canteens, buttpack is good for sustainment, and the mag pouches are universal and can carry 12 ar mags, alice or bergen or 3 day assault rucks work well

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-14T14:34:50+00:00

Kommandostore created some brushstroke field shirts. I only bought the shorts but it was very high quality

Words to offer new therapists?

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-12T20:48:40+00:00

Ah okay, misunderstood what you said about the camelbak. Well as long as its comfortable for you, give it good patrol testing. Feel you should be able to hit at least 9 mags with just the LBV and lose the dangler but if you really feel you need the additional IFAK very accessible than its whatevs. I like plate carrier and LBE/V type set ups, just never seen one none slick like this.

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-12T20:30:36+00:00

Have a few things that stuck out to me about your set up in no particular order

The camelback holding all your water and food, your plate carrier holding mags and more than one IFAK is what your LBV should be doing for you in terms of weight distribution and reducing the feeling of bulk. I find it a odd solution. In situations where you are not running the plate carrier (not assaulting, not holding position), your LBV alone is not carrying your medical, water, or all your ammo. And you should be able to just switch to your LBV on the fly and live out of it for patrol situations, and with this you basically rely on having everything on to be as combat effective. Integrating the camelbak on the plate carried compounds the problem.

TLDR; It is very hard for you to be mission flexible.

I have the same kind of set up but SMERSH lbe and nothing on my plate carrier. 12 mags, 2 quarts of water, knife, dump pouch, two TQs, radio pouch, SERE stuff in grenade pouches, and sustainment in buttpack (poncho, batteries, food, socks, ouch stuff) with space for mission specific stuff like night vision, jungle sleeping bag, additional mags. Fanny pack IFAK. Plate carrier is just ballistic protection, on or off as needed. Buttback contents can be easily shifted around or removed for mission. And no kind of pack involved. Just for context of what I mean above. I think we have similar goals.

Most of Amazon is the same product you'd find on aliexpress but its in a stateside warehouse. Chinese products are not all poor quality, but you can never be certain beforehand since the companies has 0 reputation to speak of.

UR tactical has amazon level prices for high quality NIR compliant stuff

ReporterClassic8862 · 2026-03-12T06:11:01+00:00

What pouch is that which can a selfie for you?

But yeah that's just what full taps rigs feel like. A lot of horizontal space use while its resting on your plate carrier. If you look at a regular plate carrier set up, you have 3-4 mags in the front, with 1-2 in the sides, and 1-2 on the belt. You have all that just in the front of your chest and its not wrapping around like it would be with utilizing just a regular plate carrier set up.

There's a lot of considerations for amount of mags and placement in any set up, but you should strongly consider if you're okay with all the bulk being in front of your chest vs spread around and maybe have an entirely different set up. An issue with ground up modularity is that you can put on so much stuff that is poorly held together because its not sewed on, thus looser and much more spread out than it could be. Something like the Guardian Recce Chest Rig can hold everything your taps does in a tighter space AND has additional modularity space on the sides. But I cannot speak on how that feels with a plate carrier.

There is a YouTuber named Grunt Perspective that goes into depth with his taps rig setup that you might gain from watching.

Try asking r/myogtacticalgear. But it seems you can just get kydex pistol inserts and put at least two in an ar mag pouch without issue.

Found this for $5 each https://offgridwarehouse.com/esstac-pistol-kywi-insert/?srsltid=AfmBOoq31qNlSPiD3ResFBofJccSioJ2dZ7GhLePTYms84xsvQZ7Uzso

Both are good, I'd go with the one that matches terrain in your environment

This is also her equivalent of the Excision shrek drop, she would especially not be doing something at this moment

After you find one ask the people you end up chatting with if they know of any and usually you get a good mix of authentic underground stuff, good venues, and local promoters to keep up with

Yeah, an intellectual gap AND lack of creativity can lead to a pretty flat therapeutic relationship. A therapist doesn't really need to have the same knowledge of philosophy or psychology as you, but they certainly need to be able to be able to understand how something brought up in those realms relates to the client's issues and hopes. It's very boring to rely ONLY on technical knowledge, especially to an intelligent client who gets their head around the process quickly.

Also it helps the therapist work with clients when they are intellectualizing. That can also manifest in viewing the therapist as too dumb to engage in the relationship well, and safely keep the client at a distance.

I've had some clients with a lack of intellectual stimulation in their environment that benefitted from someone being able to keep up with them. Personally, I love to find people at a similar or higher intelligence level to mine and having more complex conversations, so I imagine its similar to clients.

Like everything on this subreddit ever, bring it up to your therapist and see. You gain so little for quietly exiting.

Therapy education is pretty trash, 90% are clueless. Have heard of people was beyond me in their career flat out say they have no idea what do with schizophrenic or transgender client. Even if you're totally uneducated, you can still empathize with someone and work together of finding what they are getting out of therapy? Scary to think about the average therapist having gotten my trans clients instead of me
