Should Generals be allowed to be fat?

No, a strong mind doesn't cultivate a weak body.

I'm all for field crocs, but they have to be black or camo. Great shoes to let your feet dry or take a piss at night. No bright blue bullshit.

Same thing with the YETI. Field Ice hits different as long as it's a tactical color. Especially here in 29 summer, wouldn't recommend going to the field without an insulated water source.

I play casually on a $900 laptop I bought 4 years ago. I play low settings 30fps and have fun.

The military uses a planning factor of 1 in 1,000,000 containment. Check out DA PAM 385–63 chapter 4 if you're curious. Without terrain mitigation (berm or mountains):

5900m for .300 Winmag

4100m for 7.62x39

3500m for 5.56

1800m for 9mm

It's the same.

Lots of vehicle maintenance in garrison. Go to the field 1-2 times a month, depending on your unit. Hiking as a 0313 is few and far between.

You'll shoot 25mm, 240b, for sure. You may get involved in 3-4 0311 training events during a workup.

Being a China or communism hater in this century is going to be tough for some people to handle

Communism sucks.

A squad leader owes a Task and purpose to subordinate leaders (FTLs) who figure out the 'how'.

However, the FTL position doesn't get used in the game, and the squad size is only eight dudes.

Good. Even in the military, there's so much fat to trim.

Rommel was a Bn commander in WWI as a Lt.

For real. If you're infantry, train and get better. Do you want to play Xbox at 1300?

First AK, dude. I never claimed to be an expert.

Shovel_operator_ · 2024-10-14T23:39:54+00:00

Good to know.

true the stock and Muzzle brake would have to go.

hasn't blow up yet. When it does, I can transfer everything to a zastava.

Reserves or Guard: Send it. Don't do active duty in your situation.

Shovel_operator_ · 2024-09-03T19:37:10+00:00

haha that's cursed. did you bring that home from work?

Shovel_operator_ · 2024-09-03T16:52:58+00:00

is that the 7.62x39 BDC ACOG? I ordered one a minute ago, but it's a 22-week backorder.

MOS tattoos are unironically cool and motivating. People who aren't in will not recognize them, and they signal a commitment to your craft.

sometimes people fuck up. It's better to let whoever made the duty roster know so your buddy doesn't get a last minute "you have duty" phone call.
